When on an Escalator did you ever get the urge to push the Stranger infront of you down the steps ?

I do

What would Facekicker do?

Korvanica · 15-12-2010 03:25PM

push someone down the up escalator and watch them fall down the stairs for ages!

alwaysadub · 15-12-2010 03:25PM

No. I'm usually too busy using the side brush on it to clean my runners.

Probably kick you in the Back of the Head

stupidusername · 15-12-2010 03:27PM

I get weird urges like that all the time.

Think my last one was to smack a child across the head. just a random child near me when I was out. No reason.

Saila · 15-12-2010 03:27PM

eh no

yermandan · 15-12-2010 03:32PM

Seek help

I haven't done something like that since I was 8 ;P

I'm always too busy being annoyed that the stairs and the handrail move at different speeds :mad:

What's with that??
Seriously... Every time..
Start out on an escalator with your hand on the rail right at your hip.. It'll either be dragged way out in front of you or behind you by the time your getting off.

Is it really that hard to make them go at the same speed??
:mad: :mad:

I'm not a total freak.. Sloppy design just annoys me is all

See, these posts are funny as f*ck when you read them on a forum. It's one of the many reasons I left facebook. I'm pretty sure each one of these has its own group! :mad:

OMFG (and I don't use that lightly) I am always noticing that too! It's soooooo irritating!

I was doing that one day and I got an electric shock that knocked me on my arse. I'd say people thought I thought it was a stairmaster.

GavRedKing · 15-12-2010 03:40PM

Yes i do get urges, deep, dark urges :cool:

Only if they belong to those people who will wait until just about the last possible fraction of a second before stepping off, forcing me to do a silly hop to avoid stumbling.

so move your hand to compensate maybe

but this requires extra thought, so you wont have spare time to think about pushing the person in front of you down the stairs

huh? I've only ever eaten one thing on a plane, and it wasn't bad actually. even stranger - it was a ryanair flight

But the point of it moving along too is so you don't have to move your arm along to compensate

Good heavens..
Somebody who makes a living from telling amusing stories and making humerus observations about life noticed something that I did?
Egads...

Didn't know it was one of his sketches actually..:p

Isn't it?? Especially when you're having a conversation with someone and just happen to be leaning on the rail..

Shoddy engineering :mad:

I never get the urge but I do often feel people are going to do it to me. I also get this at traffic lights and especially on train platforms. The feeling that someone is going to push me under an oncoming train or car.

I can stand an inch from a railway platform with a train coming right up at me fullspeed without fear, however if the platform is full of people I will stand well back out of distrust of my fellow man.

very shoddy. it's not out of laziness it just doesn't make sense providing something for a good reason and making it so it doesn't work properly. stupid.

if you place your hand beside you when you get on, and keep it there all the way up, you will be at a 90 degree angle by the time you get to the top.

And now, thanks to us, you know to trust that feeling, cause amongst that crowd is likely to be a person that gets those urges

Ha, that's what she said too!

chin_grin · 15-12-2010 03:55PM

If it's to do with falling.

I can't leave a glass by the edge of a table. Be it beer/wine/fizzy drink. If I see one I HAVE to move it. Definitely, definitely <rocks back and forth>.

No thanks necessary. I had already fully anticipated this sort of response, which is why I take care. I guess it's not a fear at all. Just a rational evaluation of human nature.

I sometimes get the urge to jump from very great heights. Like if I'm on a 7th floor balcony looking over I'd be thinking I should jump. Not to kill myself, just to jump. It's very scary and probably why I'm scared of heights.

Was getting on an escalator in Newbridge shopping centre when a Father & son were getting on the Dad got on just before his son but the son was having second thoughts so with some trepidation he put his first foot on carefully then panicked as half of him started down the stairs, his Dad didn't notice until he was almost at full splits, luckily I was there and was able to stop chuckling long enough to help him on properly, being the hero that I am. :cool:

In fairness, most children in shopping centres or anywhere else there's escalators tend to get a bit excited and behave like headless chickens. A good slap would keep them in line. :pac:
