Wine Legs Sep 2013 3:18pm, 13 Sep 2013 3,398 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs People who go on the walking side of the escalator and then bloody stop in their tracks as they get near the top. WTAF? WALK you wankers, or move over to the right. But under NO circumstances is it OK to STOP moving on the left hand side before you've gone off the top (or bottom) of the escalator and moved out of the way of all other escalator users. Do these idiots not realise that if they stop, then every person behind them also has to stop, which defeats the purpose of the 'stand on the right' message that's there clearly for everyone to see.

These are the same people who stand in the entrance to the platform looking left and right to try and work out where they are. This is why barriers are installed forward of the entrances by the platform to stop Londoners just kicking them straight on to the track in disgust
Fellrunning Sep 2013 11:10am, 17 Sep 2013 951 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning Doctors receptionists who ask "Is it a medical emergency?" when you request an appointment sometime before the one they offered you next March. OK maybe I shouldn't have spoken up so the rest of the waiting room could overhear, and perhaps it was wrong of me to say that one of my testicles had turned black and dropped off. Got me an appointment though.....

Velociraptor Sep 2013 12:17pm, 17 Sep 2013 27,255 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I do indeed do house calls, though requests for house calls from able-bodied adults on behalf of themselves or their able-bodied offspring are likely to resulted in a stern invitation to attend the surgery.
