Ok, so I know. This isn’t annoying exclusively when fat people do it but it for SURE is more annoying when they do. Taking the elevator down one floor is ludicrous. Under no circumstances, except for a wheel chair or a broken leg makes this acceptable. I understand you’ll probably start sweating. I understand that it’s the most exercise you might have had in a month. But in all honesty, it’s probably worth it. In all honesty, taking the elevator to go down anything less than 6 floors is a little bit unacceptable.

Similarly annoying is standing still on escalators. This seems to be most prevalent at malls in the suburbs, which I try to avoid at all costs anyway (the sales do NOT make a suburb mall worth it). I get it that the stairs move and allow you to stand still. I’m not sure who created escalators, probably the same lazy creator of the segway…whose only acceptable purpose was to maneuver Gob around on Arrested Development.

At any rate, just walk up them. It’s not hard. It’s really really not hard. AND you will be getting some much needed exercise. Since, as we discussed in a previous post, your “pulled muscle” prevents you from going to the gym.
