I hate mall escalators when people stand on escalators, blocking the way.
For some stupid reason if they think that if the stairs move (at snails pace like they usually do) people are to stop moving. I see no reason for this as escalators are damn slow and I am fond of every opportunity to exercise. I cannot understand why people go to gyms and run treadmills but cannot climb some fucking stairs.
I consider people too lazy to climb up a story or two in a mall miserable. I find people who are standing on escalators going down lower lifeforms. I know this includes 99% of world population whom I would find normal in other circumstances, but I cannot help to find how stupid it is.
When I take escalators I climb them and push people aside if they have blocked it. I restrain myself from doing it when I am together with someone, but I do assign higher value on people who agree to climb escalators with me once I introduce them to this thing that seems just common sense to me.
I don't have the patience to stand on an escalator, particularly the underground ones in London.
