Today’s Peeves

We interrupt this program for two annoyances:

  • People who stand on narrow escalators (where there’s no room to pass) so that everyone else has to wait for them. I make exceptions for people who obviously have trouble with stairs, but watching someone walk 500m and then stand on an escalator really bugs me.
  • People who are perfectly able-bodied using the elevators on the subways and GO train platforms. Those elevators are supposed to be for people in wheelchairs; I’ve also seen people with strollers and carts use them, which is ok by me. However, I’ve also seen a mother with a child in a stroller have to wait for three or four elevators, because they are full of selfish S.O.B.s who are too lazy to take the stairs (or even worse, the escalators).

WALK, PEOPLE! IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!

(Yes, I’m familiar with invisible disabilities. My rant stands.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
