Why are you always in such a rush? Seriously, an escalator ride is probably less than a minute and you're probably held up for seconds at best. Calm yourself down a bit you impatient fk.
I agree with Skinny. If I go to town, it's because I've got something to do and a limited amount of time to do it. Last thing I want is to have to stand behind Mrs Ditherer while she tries to find £13.70 in exact change dear, check 3 bank cards dear, chat with Doris dear or just have a confused, senile moment dear. Maybe that slowcoach old fart taking those extra few seconds of delay several times a day will end up causing you to miss a train, be late for a meeting, or simply impact on more routine stuff.

People that dither and do not appreciate the people within their surroundings cause frustration to others. There should be a rule to allow cattle-prods to be used on geriatric old dithering tts at popular times - pre-9am, post-4pm, and 12-2 lunchtimes. Would make the bloody queue in the post office a lot more dynamic. And fun for sadists.

(See also fat useless "full time mummys" who block everything by walking 3 pushchairs wide, letting their snotty nosed fk-dregs prod, lick and sneeze on everything)
That's all well and good, but what's that got to do with a 30 second escalator ride? You'll be telling us next your time is so important you flat out sprint everywhere.

I take your point, and no I don't sprint everywhere, but neither do I waste time meandering around getting in people's way. If I'm going somewhere that is likely to have a queue, then I'll be quicksmart about it. Be that the PO, queuing for the bus and having the ticket ready, going to a bar and knowing what the drinks order is before I get to the counter, loads of examples. It's about consideration for others. Whether you are delayed on the escalator, at the tills, or simply crossing the road, it's unneccesary, avoidable and frustrating.

Plus, beyond reason innit fam. You can't question me, Narc! wink

It's not so much about impatience/intolerance, more lack of common sense/consideration. If folks aren't in any particular hurry, that's fine, but why impinge upon those that are? (or even aren't). It's not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, on escalators in Debenhams I think that's exactly what it is: impatience/intolerance. Chill, it's 30 seconds as opposed to 20 if you were able to walk past.

Comprehensive?

If you think I would really cattle-prod an old duffer in the post office queue, then you're taking things too literally. Relax, if you want to find offense to take then look in NPE. This is a tongue-in-cheek thread, that is quite literally titled "beyond reason". Don't try and find reason, sense, or realism.

When I say "I could murder a bacon roll", it doesn't mean you need to call the police.

Jesus fking Christ, I can't believe it actually needs explaining.

COMPREHENSION. ie. A lack of understanding. Far from tongue in cheek, your post sounded deadly serious.

The same folk that stop dead in the doorway (going in or out) and pause for an age as they ponder their next move, oblivious to the mini pile up behind them.
Reminds me of last Saturday. Farnborough town centre, the 'Asda' entrance to "The Meads" shopping centre. Big building works going on with a new Decathlon, and a Smythes Toys going up on what was once a fair sized car park. Opening day for Smythes, so it's very busy because some unknown wannabe actor is going to be dressed up as some CBeebies character or something. And there's face painting too!

The building work has necessitated closing a number of the doorways into the centre, such that it's now restricted to two adjacent sets of double-doors. Now in a universe inhabited by semi-intelligent life forms, we might see a sensible 'one way' system either imposed, or self-imposed by users. But no. Mobbing the doors such that no one can move in either direction is a favourite pastime of Farnborough's obese and immobile it would seem.

Then add to that a large family group who, despite the evidence of their eyes, decide to park a pram (not a pushchair - but a girt big traditional pram) right in one of those doorways while the woman pushing it decides she needs to search for something while simultaneously having a stand-up argument with her "partner".

Look, Doris, if you've lost your purse, or your phone, or your fking marbles, whatever, get out of the fking way. Whatever you are looking for is unlikely to be found in the busy doorway of a shopping centre. Either move along, or retrace your steps, but FFS get the fk out of the doorway!!! FYI? Whatever you've lost is probably still in the bottom of the capacious "handbag" that you are hauling around with you. The one that's big enough to live in...


...and women moaning about the weight of their bag. That annoys me too. The answers "Well get a smaller bag then", "Put less stuff in your bag then", and "Who needs more than a phone, a wallet and some keys anyway?" never seem to go down well, despite any of the three answers appearing to provide a workable solution to the "My bag's too heavy - my arm aches" whinge.

Women. They annoy me beyond all reason... wink

Guys, both parties can do what they want, there shouldn't be a problem, one can hurry, one can chill. But the latter don't seem to want this fair and amicable arrangement and don't see any issue in being in the way. Bizarre!

That's a stupid comparison. Compare to a travelator - you walk on them, right? They just allow you to walk faster. Same theory.

Talking of escalators.....

Idiots that go up or down an escalator and as they step off, they come to a complete standstill to look around for where they need to go next. Usually, old duffers, confused as to why they are there in the first place.

FFS get out of the way I'm right behind you!!!!!!!


Or management types that stop someone in a hallway or on the stairs for a quick impromptu 'meeting'. Get out of the fekin way! 'tards.
