Some may ask, "Why escalators? Why not stairs? They're the same thing!" Stairs have been around for ages, really, go back a thousand years, perhaps more, and evidence of stairs is readily available. Mayan culture, and egyptian culture, both share pyramids; four different staircases that narrow out, and go to one destination. Well, you see, I've got a very simple explanation of why escalators are better than stairs.

Is that a ESCALATOR? OMFG IT IS!!! |
Although amazing, these wonder-machines do have some drawbacks...and from drawbacks, awkward situations evolve. Normally, when you board an escalator (Yes you board one, they are vehicles OF WIN.) the first step is the trickiest, to choose to give in to the giant crowd behind you, or to take your time and get maximum joy out of the ride. Eventually you get on...
And this is the part that always gets me: Where are you supposed to look? I usually end up looking straight, which might not be the best idea...
Yes, I'm looking at her hand. |
Yep, this is what usually happens when a guy is in front of me. NO HOMO I'm not homosexual, but looking at a guy's behind is usually okay, as long as he is not "Low Riding" I really don't know who told these people it was cool to show your boxers/underwear, but whoever they are, I got a belt.....for him to wear. Really, wear a belt, they put an end to the constant pulling up you have to undergo when "Low-Riding"
Typically my view. |
And what makes it worse is that if you look anywhere else, you look like you're lost. Or so I think, lol. Also note, in the picture above, that the said 'Red Gentleman' is standing in the middle of the escalator. I'm pretty sure it's an unwritten rule, just like highways, that one side is for speeders, and the other for standing.
Anyways, that's the end of my little rant about escalators. I didn't know it bugged me this much until I typed it out. I guess I'm learning about myself

Life Lesson: Even though escalators are awesome, sometimes you have to speed up the left side
