Society & Culture Escalator Etiquette

There's always seats available if you look hard enough. But why would anyone want to sit in a crowded food court while they eat lunch? I couldn't think of anything worse. Eating in a nice restaurant is good fun but sharing a food court with hundreds of other ferals while they walk past you is shit. Takeaway for me thanks.

Maybe in that backwater exodus Radelaide but not anywhere else. Everywhere else at lunchtime there are too many people, not enough seats. The cleaners are usually busy emptying bins because of the influx of lunch eaters. Besides, they can't be everywhere at once.

If it's peak hour where heaps of people are walking around with their food trays looking for a seat, if someone gets up and leaves their food wrappers on the table then it's unlikely the little asian cleaner will be the one to pick it up.

I don't know. Why don't you ask some of the hundreds of thousands of people who eat lunch in a food court everyday.

So don't sit down? Eat lunch at work? Hell I've taken my lunch at eaten it in my car and had a read of the paper :thumbsu:

You love an argument don't you? No need for name calling just because we have differing opinions. I personally don't like sitting in a group made up of hundreds of people stuffing themselves and then brushig past me as I eat my food. Especially when I'm having a bad day or just want some peace and quiet. I'm sure I'm not the only one :thumbsu:

No supprises there.

as a regular public transport commuter this realllly shits me.

Worst offenders are the overweight middle aged ladies, who think they have the right to do whatever the **** they want because they have wide set vaginas (including sitting in priority seating while an 80 year old man struggles to stand up)

I've stopped being nice to people who stand on the right. :mad: In Europe, it's like everyone knows this rule and doesn't dare break it. It's great.

It's amazing how in big cities they can be more orderly than places like Perth, it does my head in the way people plonk themselves two abreast on escalators. London was bliss in this regard.

Escalators and travelators are there to get you there quicker, not to rest your legs.

Three cheers for sexism!

Middle aged people in general seem to think they are entitled to a seat above anyone else. But then there's teenagers. ****ing teenagers...

London is fierce on escalator etiquette, especially in the underground. When I first moved over there I had no idea about the strict stand right and walk left rules. You soon find out if you're doing it wrong, people literally barge into you if you stand on the wrong side.

I thought they were being rude at first but after a while you realise what a good system it is. If everyone follows the rules it makes things a lot easier.

They also have this on Sydney's train system. Every now and then there is some nuffy that either doesn't get it or goes "stuff everyone else, I'm going to stand here". Until they get heckled by other commuters.

Unfortunately this doesn't translate to shopping centres. Yet.
 
Yeah I hate fat people especially, they're useless and get in the way. They should be suspended in a thick gel.

Certainly don't see any teenagers blocking up the escalators at the train stations when im on my way to work? Or taking seats off people who genuinely need them more? In fact quite the opposite most young people on the peak hour trains are always willing to stand for somebody - middle of the day "emo/scene" kids may be different, but I don't really understand where you are coming from with the hate on teenagers in this thread.

However they do love to block up the train doors by not moving down the train. FFS i have to push my way through 20 school kids who insist on standing at the door for some ****ed up reason, and then I get a seat anyway... :o
 
Just for the record: teenagers suck as do women over 40. I'd consider it sexist if I was just jumping to misleading and biased conclusions but I'm afraid it's a fact.

Here's yet some more reasons why women over 40 suck:

1. They consistently block supermarket aisles. No some of them and not sometimes. All of them, all the time. "Hey' let's walk down this aisle and leave my trolley right in the middle whilst I browse for stuff". wtf? How does this phenonomon work? You'd think at least a few of them would twig and leave their trolley to the side

2. They go to the deli section, grab a ticket and then just stand there. wtf? "Say, there's room for me to go get a ticket. I might just grab one and stay there so no one else can access the ticket machine.

3. When it's busy and there are big lines to the checkout they line up straight behind until the line hits the aisles there by no allowing shoppers to walk past. You'd think one of them would twig and stand to the side so the line bends to one side and thereby lets other shoppers walk past. But no, this is 40+ year old women we are talking about.

4. After spending 4 minutes in the line you'd think they have their purse in their hands or even cash out. Probably whilst the check out person is scanning your stuff is a good opportunity. Noooo. Lets get to the front of the line when the checkout person asks for money and spend another minute once it's time to pay locating my purse.

And that's just the supermarket.

BomberGal: do you do this shit yet? Is it starting to creep into your game? Because if it isn't it's only a matter of time.

It's usually the asians that just stand there and stare into nothingness. They have no awareness whatsoever, whether it be walking or driving.

Very true, I laugh when you get onto a Tram and the young Asian girl (asian girls are worst then the boys)

The young person will grap the first pole and hang on real tight when you mention to them that the Tram is mostly empty so they should move into the Tram, they give you a blank WTF look.

This is probably the funniest quote in the thread. You've never seen teenagers refuse to give up their seats?

And actually, 9 times out of 10, the people I have to push out of the way on escalators are people younger than me.

Absolutely. I consider it my aim in life to piss off the arrogant male.
