You know them, at least you do if you live somewhere that has a fair amount of people and also an escalator or two. I went to get a snack from the lobby, and encountered a few of them. They're the people who just stand on the escalator instead of walking up or down. Often, they stand with friends and take up the whole width of the escalator. Or they're so fucking fat they do it by themselves. And they slow you down, keep you from getting where you're going. I'm perpetually late, so I always et really annoyed at them for making me that little bit later. Sure, I could wake up a little earlier, get off the computer a little sooner, but fuck that. I'm a last minute kind of guy and I won't change for those fat and/or lazy slobs who can't sacrifice a few calories to walk up a goddamn moving staircase. It's not like you have to stand on them, they should be looked at for the most part as a boon that speeds up your commute, and fairly as an opportunity to rest.

Glad you posted this - it's as annoying as all fuck. I'm fine with people standing, but stand off to the right. I hate the assholes standing with legs shoulder apart in the middle of the stairs, with a bag slung over their shoulder, checking their fucking blackberry.

It's not a fucking ride.

Also, what's the deal with airline food?

weird.

Standing still on a moving escalator is crap. What's more crap is when you have narrow escalators that make it nearly impossible for one to maneuver around the offending party.

crap

So long as you move your ass to the left or the right so i can get past.
Olde people get a pass, just no blocking with your nordstroms bags.

LOL!!!!

If people want to stand fine, but move your ass to the side so the rest of us can pass.

Holy fuck people who stand on the moving walkway at the airport and block the entire thing with their enormous ass.
There's a recording overhead saying, 'if you are standing, please stay off to the left'
I bust my way through a big group of Disney-bound lane blocking lard asses and hear 'Hey, buddy! you in some kind of hurry? Jesus Chris what an asshole!'

It took all of my strength not to lunge back at him and rip one of his eyeballs out of his head and show it to everyone.

I stopped and said 'You are supposed to stand to the left, this is an airport some people are in a hurry to get to their jobs or flights'
'Yeah well, they don't have to be so rude all they have to do is ask'
'if you didn't block the whole thing to begin with they wouldn't have to ask you anything would they?'
then he says, and I quote
'Hey, fuck you buddy!' and gives me the finger.

I just love people, you know? Just can't get enough of them.

The whole point of an escalator is to move you upwards without effort. Why should I exert effort and walk on a moving escalator?

Every retard who takes Marta in Atlanta just sits there on the escalators. Lazy fat shitheads. I've made it a point to stand at the exact door on the train that will line up with the escalator on my way home. I am the first person off that fucking train and on the escalator. Hate waiting for all those lazy fucks.

In DC there is an ad campaign on the Metro where these people are called 'Escalefters' and 'Escalumps'

104 years ago, I started a thread about a trip to London that I ended up not taking. Champion Rabbit wrote this:

1.There is one thing that is guaranteed to make you enemy of all Londoners, and it is this. On the way down to the platforms of the tube, you'll find 'escalators' to speed your journey. These are like stairs, but they move!! Ha! Imagine that!

There are signs on these escalators which read something along the lines of "STAND TO THE RIGHT". Apparently this is confusing to the average tourist, so I shall translate.

It means that you should "stand" on the "right" so that people who are trying to move more quickly can "walk" on the "left". See?

I promise you that this little secret will save your life.

Note the 'standing' on the 'right' as performed by these people!

Because of this, whenever I am on an escalator and people are crappily loafing up the whole path, a voice goes through my head saying, "Stahnd to the roit."

true story.
