Escalators--I think this might be a true phobia. I don't know why, but I am terrified of escalators, and always have been. I have only gotten on one a few times in my life, and that was when I was a child. If I am with someone who decides to get on an escalator, I just can't force myself to do the same thing. I have to make arrangements to meet up with that person and then either find some stairs or ride an elavator.
