I fucking hate escalators. They're the symbol of laziness. In my local mall there are ones at the entrance and between floors that are at a very low angle so they're longer than a deathfat's list of condishuns. Still almost everyone just stands there like a retard, listening to the machinery squeaking and staring at the wall. Of course, if they're accompanied by someone or picked up a cart from the ground floor, they will block the escalator with their body masses or the cart. Shopping is a waste of time so I'd rather get in and out as quickly as possible. Some day I'll snap and start elbowing my way through.
