Alright. New Year. New Attitude. Right?

I thought about deleting this blog. Being this angry can't possibly be healthy. Then I reminded myself that keeping it all in isn't either.

So...

All you idiots who stand at the top of the escalator at the Ajax GO Station need to get the fuck out outside. It's January. There's thing we call winter that happens every year. It gets cold. There's also this really neat invention called a Winter Coat.

Get one.

I get that it's cold outside. But you, standing at the top of the escalator, blocking the doorway, impeding the flow of traffic, is only making things worse. There isn't enough room at the top to have everyone standing there AND have people come up the escalator and go out the door. The flow of traffic gets backed up, people are stuck on the escalator--which is still moving, I might add--and it becomes a domino effect.

It's dangerous.

Grow a pair, get your ass outside with the rest of us, and get the hell outta the way.

This needs to be policed by GO transit. If people don't smarten up they'll take those escalators out just like they did at Union and all the assholes will have to climb stairs.

I came back from vacation and rode the GO train yesterday. Did the deep breaths on the way to the train to make certain this year starts off less stressful.

Made it to the top of the escalator and bowled through the people waiting inside the door before I donned the "bitch face" and marched onto the platform.

Does that area have heat or somethin? Why not just remove the doors, thereby nullifying the effect of standing in the way.

@RonNasty: There's one door that's been removed at Whitby at the top of the stairs. It makes it a lot easier at night coming home. And remarkably, it's not that cold in the morning. I'd be in favour of door removal.
