Something else that annoys me in the subway. You are at the top of the stairs and people are coming up the escalator/stairs next to you, meaning they just exited the train that you hope to enter. But you are at the TOP of the stairs. These people are nearing the TOP of the escalator. You start running, risking sweat and breathlessness and fatigue. WHY??

So you can try to get on the same train these people got off. Here’s some news for you: You’re not gonna make it! Why bother? Why exert all your energy and dart down the stairs at high speed to make a train whose doors definitely already closed! If the people are nearing the top of the escalator, you missed your chance.

And don’t you know that trains come every few minutes, more often during rush hour which is when I specifically witness this phenomenon? After a guy wearing a do-rag (must have been extra sweaty under there!) ran as fast as his little legs could take him down the stairs, I couldn’t help but notice he (obviously) missed the train. He seemed annoyed. About 4 seconds later another train pulled into the station. I walked down the stairs at a normal speed, knowing there was no way I would make that first train. We both got on the same train; him tired and worn out, me just fine. Was it worth it? To save 4 seconds of his time?

Must have been a very important 4 seconds that do-rag man can never get back.

  3. With these simple tips, you will surely be a reliable and credible
    roofing contractor Atlanta. It would be great if residents showed
    their roofing contract, especially if they have switched contractors at one
    point. Roof replacement can be an expensive, time consuming job.

  4. I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice,

  5. Though it is a less common method of removing hair at skin’s surface, some consumers find it primarily
    useful for fine hair on legs. Another way to get a face
    lift without surgery is with creams, lotions and serums. I prefer to wax
    my own facial hair using Gi – Gi Strip-Free Honee Wax.
