When I was little I thought that whenever you got off of an escalator at the mall you had to pull the black rubber hand rail along so that it kept running for other people and the people behind you wouldn't get stuck in the middle of the escalator. I thought it was so rude when someone would get off without pulling the rail to keep it going for everyone else.
