Travelators (Read 212 times)

Gordon Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 20611 Gordon Gender:	Travelators Apr 22^nd, 2022 at 12:08pm The old, disabled, mums with young kids etc get a pass from my criticism, but why do so many people, mostly fatties just stand on a travelator blocking the way for everyone else? It's not a carnival ride.

Nothing specific, just a general annoyance. I've started doing calf raises when I'm stuck behind a fatty on a travelator so at least I'm putting the time to good use.

It's not a carnival ride.

The general rule is to stand to one side for people that want to get pass. But, fatties (like I was) like to take a break for 20 seconds whilst they recover from their walk to get to the travelator.

At this stage...

At Westfield (BJ) it's the only way to the carpark, apart from the lifts which take forever. Yes, people with trolleys are excused because you can't push them and sometimes your trolley lurches to the middle when you get one.

But fatties should be more considerate and not block the way.
