sort of great moment in laziness #4
In addition to the previous post on the elevator, I want to talk about the next best thing behind the mighty elevator, and that is the ALSO RATHER PLEASANT ESCALATOR!!! Or rolly shtairsch as it's known to some twats.
Except for the London Underground, escalators usually only cover one floor. But still it's far superior to walking the steps. At most airports you even have escalators that just transport you horizontally!! Brilliant. Just standing still gazing into nothingness and yet moving faster than a walking person. And the ever so pleasant female voice that reminds you to 'mind your step' makes it easy for lazy folk to wake up in time to safely step from the escalator.
But the laziest of escalators is still this one. Fifteen small steps to the entrance of the fitness (!), but no use waisting valuable energy on those if you can use the escalator!

And unlike and elevator, even if an escalator breaks, it magically turns into a stair case and can still be used.
Although then it's a rather annoying staircase with slightly too high steps.
weird, is it also a physical therapy center for injured people or something?
