Errors in Escalator Etiquette

you probably knew something like this was coming, because i am sure im not the only person who hates this. you know who im talking about, the people that stand on the left side of the escalator and dont walk up. then they create a huge line of very angry and late people behind them. now granted a trip up and escalator is not a long time to wait and being stuck behind a person like that probably wont make you that late for what you are trying to get to. but its the annoyance factor that kills me. everyone knows that you walk up the left of the escalator and ride it on the right side. this is how the world works and how is it possible that people do not know that. so then what is your point when you are just standing there? did you just forget? are you doing that on purpose? in that case your just an asshole and dont even deserve to be on a machine that walks up stairs for you. now from me...i am not a person who walks up an escalator. lets face it, im lazy and plus the machine is doing it for me. what more do you want? but the thing is if im standing there waiting to go up and i see a person standing beside me i see the other people who are frustrated and i can understand where they are coming from. and the best part is the person who is standing there on the left side is usually a person on a cell phone completely oblivious to everything that is going on around them as if their life is so engrossing that they cannot even walk and talk at the same time. like thats some sort of difficult task. anyway...dont stand on the left side of an escalator and thats that, read this and try to better the world, ok not better but at least make it a less annoying place to live.
