People standing on both sides of the escalator in Ireland

    I do a lot of travelling. In Denmark, Sweden, here in Finland and most other normal, civilised countries, people stand on the right and walk on the left. If you have a train to catch, you can quickly walk down or up the escalator.

    The inferior power of most Irish brains can't cope with this, and it is usually women who are the offenders. Ask them to move and you'll be ignored by the woman, ask a again and she'll hit you and sh'll get away with it because she's a woman. The white knights will usually join in.

    People who stand on escalators should be pushed down the entire flight. Most Irish brains (apart from mine) are feeble, weak and underdeveloped.

    This is tiresome.

    If we all simply walked on the left side of the footpath I predict it would save the country €1.34billion a year.

    It is apparent when people lane hog. Men who have superior brain power usually move when you flash, Irish women who are aggressive and thuggish and have underdeveloped brains will brake check you.

    I'm referring to the civilised country in which I live and the intelligent societies which I have visited. Obviously in Ireland you'd stand left and walk right, but Irish people (especially the women) can't cope with it.

    'Escalators' - such notions.

    They're moving stairs.

    Take up knitting, that's a worthy past time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Why do our greatest gobs***** all seem to leave the country, so the rest of us have nobody to guide us on the path to perfection?


    Have a great life in utopia.

    In Asia we stand on the left to let others pass on the right. Took some time for me to retrain my brain to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    I visited Paris in October. It took all of five minutes in Charles De Gaulle airport to learn that you stand on the left and overtake on the right. Excellent understanding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,091 ✭✭✭furiousox


    Yes but you're Irish.
    It would take a Finn ages to work it out.
