Maggie: Actually, the whole left-side right-side thing should be freaking LAW wherever people have to walk. Especially… SIDEWALKS. grrrrrrrrrr….

birchsprite: I heck… you guys have actual SHEEP on the roads over there too. Good luck getting them to admit it though.

SkylarD: Maybe some sort of system whereby if two people stood side-by-side the teeth at the top of the escalator would reach up and take them off at the ankles. Yes, it would gum up the works for a while, but people would eventually get used to it.

Jason’s Dad: I come by me rage honestly, it seems…

Suldog: Yes, those standing there waiting for the stairs to move them deserve a special hell. The hell of being bodily thrown from the stairs.

Brian: I think I did it once when I was a teenager… but they had these clear plastic doohickeys part way down that where not fun to encounter. Urk.

The indoor team is fun, but we’re having a heck of a time getting the whole team there. Our first game was missing close to half the team… all touring level players. We got TROUNCED 47-24. Ouch indeed.

Maggie – People are just STANDING on the stairs? I believe NYC Penal Code 1273, section 6, paragraph c, covers this rather nicely:

“Anyone caught impeding a public right of way in a particularly assinine fashion is subject to a fine not in excess of ten dollars and/or being pummeled to death by those behind his/her stupid ass.”

Of course, that’s NYC, where they know how to handle such matters expeditiously.

Next topic, Jason, should you choose to accept it — people who don’t wash their hands after they use the toilet.

And then — people who can’t manage to park their cars somewhere near the actual centre of a marked parking space.

And — people who won’t walk their shopping carts to the corral, but just leave them in the parking area.

Dang, I’m too pissed off now. Thanks, Little Guy.

“Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent–I don’t care which one–but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!”
