Motion-activated escalators.  Yes, you read that right.  Of course, you might have already encountered these but this girl?  Newly acquainted.  I mean, I get the reasoning behind it, conservation of energy and all, but.  BUT.  If a business installs a MOTION-ACTIVATED ESCALATOR, they might want to post a freaking NOTICE.  Then people like me who are uncoordinated and klutzy on their best days don’t approach the unmoving escalator and…wait.  You know what?  Let’s just do it this way:

Step 1:  la la la, I need to hit the upstairs portion of the KMCC, oh, here are the escalators!

Step 2:  How strange!  This escalator does not seem to be moving!  Oh well, a little stair action never hurt anyone!

Step 3:  Here I go, placing my foot onto this STATIONARY DEVICE!

Step 4:  La l…WHOOOAAAAA WTF!  WHAT IS GOING ON!

Step 5: (Rapid flailing whilst trying to maintain balance)

Step 6:  Is this…motion activated?  What the hell?!  Did anyone see me?  I feel like laughing sheepishly.  Ha ha ha.

You can be assured that when it was time to utilize the down escalator, a little ORM was applied.  Seriously, though.  A sign.  I am klutzy.

Bye!
