I hate kids and escalators.
Today, we had just opened. I was hanging up a sign on the second floor over the overhang...eh, it's hard to explain, but basically I had full view of the up escalator. Parents and one child walks up. Child is about ten or nine years old. Parents get on escalator. Kid follows, but stops quickly.
She flips up the little plastic cover and hits the big red emergency stop button. It makes a buzzing sound but she doesn't hold it long enough to shut it down.
Parents don't even turn around. "Don't do that!" the mom says.
Girl: "But I'm not doing anything!"
They go up the escalator. Parents get off. Little girl gets off, but spies the other plastic cover with the emergency stop button. She lifts it up and slams her little hand down on it. Buzzing ensues. Escalator stops.
Parent: "Honey, don't do that!" (they didn't even turn around!)
Girl: "But I didn't do anything!" Then she runs to catch up with her parents.
Thank GOD no one was on the escalator, or they could have lost their balance and fallen because that girl decided to hit the button.
I gave her the mean eye when she walked by me. Some kids just make me angry.
