People who blast music at the beach should be air dropped 1000ft out to see if they can swim back

They gonna be so fit..

So you're saying the aliens that built the pyramids also brought microplastics with them?

That, and herpes.

Petition to add people who walk slow in cities, and people who block the ‘fast lane’ on an escalator.

Or only go 5 over in the left lane, some of us are tying to break the law for real

And like homing pigeons, if they make it back from 1000ft then drop em again from 2000.

Public whistlers.

Public whistlers.

Guilty. But I’m a classical musician, it is subconscious. When I was in college, I had a job working as a driver for a bank. I would visit five or six branches a day. My father also had the same job. The tellers when he went in they would say “your son is the happiest person I’ve ever seen, he comes in here whistling every day.“

Oops. Promise, I’m not actually that happy.

I'm a bit afraid to ask, but how is there a fast lane on escalators? Are they larger in other parts of the world?

u stand right, walk left.

In Japan the escalator etiquettes is to stand on the left and walk on the right side, except in Osaka where you stand right and walk left…

 

[Rangen]

u stand right, walk left.

It's the opposite in Singapore.

 

[OkayMode]

Bonus points if you’re a tourist and stop right at the top of the escalator to study a map, causing a mass back up behind you!

No, but the people are smaller...

In Soviet Russia, escalator stands on you.

 

[blokey]

BTW the stand right and walk left practice seems to damage escalators unevenly and there has been effort to abolish it

As someone who was taught the only thing that happens when you walk fast is die fast.

I walk really slow and regularly get dirty looks in NYC.

Is this an unpopular decision? Because I feel like that denka look like ****. Ground up so high, odd ku look, oddly nice handle for a knife thats seen some heavy abrasives, scratches pretty visible.

I had exactly the same thoughts

How did you know? Didn’t realize you were from Soviet Union.

i had to revisit the anchovy pizza issue tonight for dinner

good, but too many olives. i would have made the pineapple amount roughly equal the anchovy + olive amount. also, i would have sliced the olives in half.

Agreed, best to stand right, stand left to maximize throughput and dissolve the queue.

Anyone who insists on a right to push past the mass of standing commuters should have thought of that sooner, skipped the subway entirely, and just run on the road instead. They’re trying to save, what, 15 seconds on a 15 minute ride?

This is a simple imperative to build a better escalator.

Stand right; walk left is the pluralistic solution.

It’s the same on moving walkways. Being able to stack my pace onto the ssllooww machine pace is of value.

Hold up, it's pursuit of happyness. No one said anything about actually catching it!

 

[robzilla]

I walk up not to save time, but to actually get a hint of exercise, because that’s the amount I prefer.

I ride up when I'm burned out and tired, and judge all the walkers for being showoffs. When I'm feeling spry I walk up, and judge all the slow riders for being lazy.

Or take the stairs and race the ppl on the escalator.

Yes, if you don't go out of your way to make it a race to annoy people, you're not doing it right.

My in-laws live outside of Des Moines. There is a pizza place near them they all love (Midwest style, crackery crust, cut in squares). They have a pizza with sour kraut and Canadian bacon as toppings. They all think it's the best thing ever. I find it an abomination.
