Some friends of mine mentioned this pet peeve and I have to say I agree. It’s definitely worth a spot on this blog.
ATTENTION ESCALATOR BLOCKERS
The world does not revolve around YOU. There are other people on the escalator behind you that would like to get off before it sucks them under the floor. There are no stores in the mall basement, so nobody has a desire to go there.
So please, exit the damn escalator, walk 20 paces and THEN, only then, look around and get your bearings. Chances are there is an information kiosk nearby.
Thank you. This message is a public service brought to you by the MyBitchFest blog and it’s readers.

I hope you’re also referring to the people who stop walking when they step on to an escalator, typically blocking the people behind them who aren’t as lazy. I don’t understand that.
Though once I was in India behind a lady who was afraid to step onto the escalator in the first place because she’d never seen one before. That was kind of cute.

This most definitely does not include people who do not feel it necessary to keep walking on an escalator because they are not in the same all-fired hurry you are. It should, however, include the people who stand in the elevator door opening and block anyone who wants to get out.
