Ok, seriously people, why is it that when people are on an escalator, moving sidewalk, etc., people just STAND there? Hello, since when is the fact that the ground underneath you is moving an excuse to STOP WALKING? Are people really that lazy? At least if you are just going to stand there, MOVE TO THE SIDE so that other people can pass you. That's how it's done in London and they have no problems with it, why can't we do that here? I mean, have you ever actually thought about how sloooooooowly escalators go? Try to actually pay attention to how slowly you are moving next time. It's painful.
With obesity and global warming being such problems, I say we ban escalators and replace them with stairs. Think about it. No wonder obesity is a problem when people are too lazy to walk up the stairs. Not only that, but escalators are one way. Ever been in a mall and wanted to go upstairs but all the escalators were going down and you had to walk to the other side of the mall? That would never happen with stairs. I can understand that some people might need escalators if they are old or have a medical condition, but wouldn't an elevator be even better in that case? I say we boycott malls with escalators.
Ok, ok, so half the stuff I said is "tongue in cheek", but I think you get the point.
Any thoughts?
