Escalators are a testimony to human laziness
 

The escalators in malls. Everyone knows what they are for right? to get you
where you are going faster - not just stand there.

You are supost to walk along with the motion of the moving escalator.
That was the original idea, now people stand there like idiots and waste time.

I can understand not taking extra effort to walk UP a escalator taking you to
a floor above. But walking down one is a FUKKEN breeze and people have grown
as obese as manatees with no forseeable future, deciding to stand there and wait for the floor to arrive at their feet. Best thing to do is to make your way
through the crowd, saying "Excuse me, comming through." doing it with the
original intention of the device in mind.

lolwut

if you're in that much of a rush you could always just jump over a railing...

If you've ever been in a multi-story train station...you'd understand the importance of escalators. Time is the key.

What's worse.... those flat moving sidewalks in Airports! I hate it when people stand still on those. They make those so you can get down to your gate twice as fast, not so you can stand there like a moron blocking the entire walk. They finally made a "slower traffic keep right" sign, which helps a little.

Ya I wanna bullrush those people with a Dark Reaver in front of me .. that'll teach em.
