People who get on the Escalator Slowly

It seems to happen at least twice a week...

Your getting off the train about 5 minutes late for work and you hustle down over to the escalator. There is a trail of people behind you and just a few ahead. The line is moving quickly and you finally reach the front when somebody squeezes in from the side of the escalator to cut you off.

Then...BAM.....IT happens.

This (usually) old person jumps in front of you and you have to stop short to avoid completely crashing into (usually) her. Stumbling to keep your balance, you tip toe forward, eager to keep moving.

The dummy in front of you spends the next 7 seconds timing the escalator stairs as if they've never been to civilization in the last 50 years, keeping you, and the 100 other people now pushing behind you, from getting on the escalator and moving on with their lives.

The combination of rush hour and being late makes this experience unbearable and you get images in your head of tossing this person over the escalator railing. Does this person have no consideration for other people? She (usually) couldn't wait for the end of the line to jump on instead of rudely cutting the line and then breaking my stride and all those behind us?

When you finally get on behind (usually) her, it takes (usually) her until about half way up to move over so you can run up the left side, knocking the gigantic bag (usually) she is carrying off (usually) her shoulder, and smirking to yourself the rest of the way up, glowing in the satisfaction you just got from a little sweet revenge. Maybe (usually) she got the point, and maybe (usually) she didn't, but at least you keep your brain from exploding for another day.

So....people of the world who get on the escalator slow and don't give a shit about any of the people rushing behind you....I hate you
