Presumably you mean someone possibly incapacitated, blind, not feeling well, infirm etc.
That's totally understandable, and no one should bitch about it, but it's when two people in good health stand side by side, when there are notices saying, "Stand on the Right" clearly displayed that annoys people.
Personally my days of galloping up escalators are long gone, I just get on, move to the right, and wait until I reach the top or bottom to get off, but some people are pushed for time and would like to take advantage of a clear lane.
