It's people coming down that seem to automatically collapse the handle
because the case is often on the step behind them and therefore at a
higher level.

I wish people would carry the case a couple of steps forward before
stopping to put it down - then those of us behind could walk around them.

That works! Not so going down.

It's people coming down that seem to automatically collapse the handle
because the case is often on the step behind them and therefore at a
higher level.


Also, it's commonplace for escalators not to cover the entire vertical
rise, so carrying the case up a few stairs at either the bottom or the
top means the passenger has already lowered the handle before getting on
the escalator.

Put the suitcase on the tread behind you and drag it off the escalator,
then. Really, creating a situation in which the person following you off
the escalator could crash into you because you've come to a stop isn't
good form.

I always put the case in front of me for that very reason.

I always do that for the reason you state.
