The Escalator Situation

Updated: Nov 25, 2019

Ever noticed guys on their phones slowing down and blocking the access to the escalator? Being too slow or too adsorbed in their own world to pay any attention to what surrounds them, their head on their phones. Having no clue whatsoever that they are not alone in this world and not even acknowledging the fact that people are right behind them.


Or even worst, the guys literally stopping at the top end of the escalator instead of stepping aside or walking a little further ahead to allow people to get off the escalator? Generally generating instantaneously a traffic jam of grumbling people behind them. Some guys even rush to the escalator to literally stop at the upper end of it, what's up with that?


People are weird sometimes and you'll never know what is going through their head when they act like that. I mean, it is true, why rushing or slowing down to go on the escalator? And why not stepping aside or walk a few steps further to allow people to exit from the escalator? Why stopping right there in the middle at the top (or even bottom) end of it blocking everybody else? Why? God only knows......


Here is an illustration to visually transcribe what I'm trying to say



You see what I meant now. Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about, and it is immensely annoying.


So, please, don't be that guy, be courteous, have some manners and be considerate to others, don’t slow down or stop when you exit the escalator. it will ease the pain of everybody else that has to be affected from it.


Until next time, be good and be courteous.
