Gah!

Elevators are for standing in and letting them move you around: there is no other option.

Escalators are just stairs that move a little bit: you have options. So, stand right or walk left (or to whichever side your town swings).

Also, I walk on the stairs because it's fucking boring to stand there like a milk-fed yokel. They're just fucking stairs. Climb 'em like normal, ferfuckssake. If not, gitouttheway.

It's you people climbing the escalators that are arseholes. Where are you going that you need to get to an extra 20 seconds earlier?

20 seconds is the difference between catching the bus or not, and in this place that can be up to a 40 minute difference.. so stand aside!

at the mall, i agree.. who gives a fuck. that cinnabon will still be warm 20 seconds later.

Stand right, walk left. Single-file escalators? Look behind you -- if you can tell that someone has their bowels in an uproar about getting up the stairs, then walk on up. They may have diarrhea.

Surely escalators were invented to make walking up stairs faster, not to eliminate walking upstairs altogether.

Get the fuck out of my way you lazy cunts

(unless I'm really hungover, in which case you'll find me squeezing in a quick 30 second nap on the way out of Tottenham Court Road of a morning)

So all you people in a hurry... what happens when someone behind you is in even more of a hurry and they're thinking you're the lazy cunt. Huh? How about that? You bunch of pushy motherfuckers.

I don't care too much about people who do not walk on escalators. When I was in Japan, the people who didn't feel like walking would stand on the right side and let the people who wanted to ascend faster walk up the left side. That's a good system.

What I do hate, however, is living on the fourteenth floor of a building and having the elevator stop at the first and second floors to pick up people too lazy to walk down 5-10 stairs. Fuckers.

It's the same concept as on the highway. Pull over to the right and let them pass. It's a good system - I'm not kidding.

No offense, but aren't people supposed to stand to the right on escalators and walkways?

I'm confused!

I really don't care, though. I'm comin' through, and I could give one fuck whether or not you think that I'm rude. Hey, pay the slightest attention to the world around you, TV fans. Your cluelessness to basic societal norms does not equate to others' rudeness. Actually, your cluelessness is totally presumptuous and rude in itself. You don't care enough to give a fuck.

That's it.

(Hey, if you're sick of the moronity of airport patrons, I've discovered that the best alternative is to fly exclusively out of the magnificant La Crosse WI airport. LSE rules! You have about as much chance of running into a moron-choked escaltor there as you have of running into a saber-toothed tiger.)

By the way, the "stick-to-the-right" lesson goes for all things in American life. If you are slow, then stay to the fucking right. I don't drive much, but wtf. Get out of the G.D. left hand lane. This is a simple rule, Blindy.

Same for you, crowdwalkers. Go right, or else I'm all shoulders. For the record, I like my odds.

That's it.

some people might not want to be in a mall an extra twenty seconds.

are there rights? or should they calm the fuck down and relax over the twenty seconds. but why knock a little extra physical exertion? when i look around looks like most could use some.

unless your elderly or injured you could probably benefit from the hike up the moving steps. they're doing most of the work! "i can't climb like...a whole bunch of stairs...i just woke up/left work/blah blah blah..." so? everyone just did something.

really though, who gives a shit? everyone. some days more than others.

mostly i think crap though. move over at least, ya sloth.

This would explain Republicans!
