Stairs

There's this unspoken escalator rule in Singapore where you stand on the left side if you're...well, just standing OR walk up/down the escalator on the right as if you're very busy and time is so very precious that even the moving escalator is not fast enough for you. Basically, it's stand left, walk right.

Most of the time I keep right and walk because I'm the sort of person who can't keep still.....unless it's a long long way up. Also because during peak hour, you try to be faster than everyone else to get to your destination as soon as you can so you don't have to wait with a whole bunch of other people. Also because I'm very busy and time is so very precious that even the moving escalator is not fast enough for me. Ha ha ha. No. Anyway.

Today on my way back from work, I took the stairs down and thought to myself, "Better keep right and take a speedy walk down."

Seconds later I realise I'm actually taking the stairs. THE. STAIRS. Then I was like, "What, people walk down the stairs on the right and stand still on the left?"

I actually had to take a couple more seconds to process that thought.
