Need to shop for clothing. Mall has the stores, so off we go.
Enter on first floor. Need to go to second. There’s the up escalator. It’s not running.
In front of us a lady says to her child, “oh we can go up; it’s broken.”
Uh… no it’s not. They’re called “stairs”.
*sigh*
Stairs? What kind of antiquated torture device is that? That requires way too much energy output on the human’s part.
She’s lucky they didn’t break while she was on them. She’d have been stuck for hours!
*rim shot*
