Always up the stairs if I can help it, even if I'm carrying a lot of things. When I'm with my wife and friends, we wait for the elevator, but I find it so boring and slow.
I'm truly a child when I have to wait on anything. "Are we there yet?" -"How about now?" -"Geez, this is so boring!"
I tried going fishing one time with my buds and I drove them nuts to the point where they never invited me again. I was like, "Wait, so we just wait here for the fish to bite?" Friends: "Yep." Me: "And this is supposed to be fun?" Friends: "Yep." Me: "WHAT?"
Also a former sprinter on my track team. I like to just dash around everywhere. I have a very sedentary job as a programmer sitting next to computers all day so I tend to have a lot of energy saved up when we go out that I want to burn through.

I would absolutely always take the stairs, unless I was carrying tons of luggage... Hmm, no even then I would probably choose the stairs, depending on how tired I was.
It's according to how many stairs, what time of the day it is and how much time you have.
If it's early and you have nowhere to be in a hurry, and the number of stairs is manageable, take the stairs.
If it's 5 in the afternoon and it's been a long day, take the elevator. The point is, don't be lazy and NEVER take the stairs. A little exercise can perk you up. Too much at the wrong time will exhaust you! Keep exercising!
Stairs if on my own... However if I have the children (one still in her buggy) then it has to be the lift, that's if there's one available.

on the 7th floor, I live on, I take the lift... it's simply faster... but up to 5th floor I take stairs because that is faster :D
It depends on whether my leg (s) is/are injured or not. If not, then preferably no more than 12 flights of stairs at a time. Bragging- walking up 3 stairs at a time.

depends on the trip... I rather take the stairs rather than wait
Escalator or stairs. Waiting for an elevator seems pointless.
Depends on if I'm in a hurry or not. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll take the stairs. If I am, I'll take the lift (I'm American, so elevator).
Before becoming a mum. I took the stairs. Much quicker than waiting for the lift to come.
The stairs, always. It's good exercise, and I don't like elevators anyway.
At work I take the stairs. It is, faster. At home i take the stairs because I do not have an elevator
Definitely walk however it depends on how many flights up I have to walk.
I often take the steps going down, and the lift going up.
Walk the stairs, I did a 6 level stairs 4 times a day for almost a year
Stairs because German efficiency.

Lift when in a hurry. Otherwise it's the stairs.
Both is nice but sometimes i can be bored so take lift
When I'm in a rush take the lift if not the stairs.
If it's only a few stories I'll climb unless I am carrying something
If you are not in hurry 😉
Use stairs
It depends on how many floors. I walked 1776 stairs to the top of the CN Tower. I WON'T be doing that again. If it's a short distance I'll take the stairs; otherwise, the elevator. How about you?
Walk, as lifts are rare
