    Escalators. 
    Why do so many people have no clue how to use them?
    And if you’re thinking “what’s to know about an escalator?” then I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re part of the problem.
    Its very simple, stand right, walk left.
    Every other country I go to has it down, get it together America.

    People who talk non stop during a show. Ipaid to see an artist perform. I didn't pay to hear you twinkie talk with your boyfriend all night you dumb twat.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    This is becoming an almost guaranteed nuisance at every movie or concert I go to. You don’t have to pay $10 for a movie ticket or $75-120 for a concert to sit and talk non-stop. You can do that shit at home for free. Keep the car in the garage.

    No, they suck at this in Canada too, even though it is an understood norm. And same goes for simply walking down the sidewalk, or in a mall, or wherever. It's all just like driving. Fucking stay to the right except to pass. Why people can't follow this simple general rule when moving about is beyond me. It drives me nuts.

    Problem with this is I'm a New Yorker, so you put me on any other sidewalk in any other city or town, and I'm always passing.

    Bunch of slow-moving motherfuckers up in this bitch. I've got places to be, dipshits. Oh, did I just jostle you hard enough to knock your iPhone out of your hand? Eat a dick! I'm walkin' here! Go sidle up next to a building if you want to read your Facebook feed.

    Totally! One of the reasons I love NYC is because you can race around on the sidewalks and people aren't just getting in your way by ambling down the sidewalk, totally oblivious to the people behind them. And you don't even have to wait for the lights at intersections or anything. Just cross when you're not going to get run over and it's all good, lol. I loved it.

    There isn't much in this world more annoying than some asshole cruising in the left lane and creating a bottleneck.

    Escalators are basically fat totes. Bostonians are clueless about the lanes. I take the stairs and avoid all sorts of headaches.

    What really makes me mad are the ones who stand on the down escalator. Okay, I get that people want to rest on the up one, but wtf is with people standing there going down. It's not like it's tiring to walk down stairs. And it's so fucking slow. If you walk down you move so fast - why would anyone not walk down (barring disabilities)??? It makes no sense!!! And don't even get me started on the people who stand still on the moving sidewalks at the airport!

    My guess is that, other than your usual lazy pieces of shit, people with bad lungs and cardiovascular health ride up, and people with bad knees ride down.

    People are lazy and they think those conveyors are to make things easy, not quick.

    My pet peeve is people's knees.
    Cover your knees if your gonna walk around...

    Like I said, barring disabilities. There is no way in hell that about 35% of everyone going down an escalator have bad knees, lol. In fact, the majority of those doing it seem to be younger people. They're just being lazy. I just don't get how even lazy people have the patience to wait that long to get down one flight.

    They're all over the place -- by which I mean, in lots of cities, and just left in front yards, on sidewalks, in bushes, on bridges. I had no idea so many people never learned to pick up after themselves.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    No accountability.  Integrity is reflected in how you act when (you think?) no one is watching.  This takes the cake, in a way, because many users will make defiant eye-contact with us what-the-fuck?-ers when dumping.

    Most of the time if there is room in front of me on an escalator, sidewalk or road I intend to move as quickly as possible.  I hate walking as it bores the hell out of me unless it is hiking or sightseeing.  Every once in a while though I will stand on an escalator and just take all in the experience of it.
