What I tend to do is stand on the same side where all(or most)of the other
folks seem to be standing and if someone wants to move around me then I
invite them to do so in the most loving of manners. If I am moving up the
escalator and fuckers are blocking me both ways I (after 2
"sumimasens")shove like a sumanabitch and fuckin pray that someone  starts
some shit.

I'm a hillbilly and I know no other way.
