Escalator Etiquette

Okay, get this - so you're getting off whatever public transportation you were on and you follow the haphazard crowd of people up the moving stairs. Everything is going well - you follow in line, board the moving platform and shuffle to the left side ONLY to find that its been trafficked! By some idiot who likes to mess with the dozens of people who are late for work or its just some old tourist who's new to the playground. I'm sure this has happened to all of you. Some dumb bloke breaks the moving-left-aisle rule. And whats worst is when you're coming down the escalator, you hear your train at the bottom, you race down hoping that with your supernatural speed you could miraculously jump right into the train. You put it in full gear and come blazing down when some apostrophe blocks your way. He and his friend takes up both sides of the empty escalator and chats carelessly down. And all while ignoring the speed racer behind them. Downright unethical and should be scorched under molten lava!
