Escalators are a testimony to human laziness

[Ashimar]

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.
