Escalator Etiquette
The rule for escalators is "walk left, stand right". (In some places, it may be "walk right, stand left", but the former is easier to remember since "walk" and "left" have four letters, and "stand" and "right" have five.) I guess I haven't realized how little time I spend in malls, but today I had to take four escalator journeys. To say that it was painful watching people decide that they're too lazy to walk up the escalator is an extreme understatement. It was all I could do not to ask the people ahead of me if something was wrong with their legs. (And believe you-me: if it had only been one or two people I would have insulted versus a whole mob of people including some roughians, I would have.) As Gob of Arrested Development likes to say, "Come on!!"
