Musings

If you've ever wondered why people on escalators walk up/down on them, you're in an elite group I like to call "decent people". What is the point, I ask you, of being on an escalator if you're just going to keep walking on it like it's any old stairway? To save yourself 10 seconds? Just relax! Take advantage of the service the escalator provides. If you're in such a rush, you probably a) have miscalculated your time schedule, b) are avoiding somebody you didn't want to see, or c) have stolen something. Neither of those are acceptable. Expert escalator riders such as myself agree that Rushers (defined above) should all be tied up with duct tape and made to wait patiently in one spot for 5 minutes or so. A small sacrifice in the name of decent people everywhere.
