The Escalator People --
Those fools who take one step off of the top of the escalator and then
have a discussion or just daydream, oblivious to the rest of the
escalator users who are now forced to find a new flow pattern or stack
up against the "escalator people"

We don't have those here.

We have no escalators at work.

You don't have cars on the freeway/front street/back street at work,
either, but that doesn't stop these fidiots from being there.


We do however have the "I want to stand right in front of the
coffee urn after I get my coffee and chat with my friends" morons.

Also the "I want to stand right in the middle of the serving area
of the cafeteria and hold a business meeting during lunch rush"
idiots.

Not to mention the "Our group needs to walk down the hallway, spread
out from one side to the other" nimrods.

They're all the same people. They're totally oblivious to anything
outside their 2' range of consciousness, if you can call it that.
I understand that in the big cities, they're called "victims" for
that very reason.

And when they're called on the carpet for being so obtuse and
performing any of the aforementioned acts of stupidity, they get
indignant, as if YOU are the only rude person there.

As Bugs so aptly put it "Whadda buncha maroons!"


The solution to all of these situations is the same, and straightforward:
simply pretend to be an inconsiderate oaf like they are, and blunder
straight into them. Stare off into the distance as you do so and
mumble under your breath.

Or walk right into them, "apologizing" by saying "Oh, sorry. I wasn't
watching where you were so rudely standing."
