After getting off the train this evening, I hopped on the subway escalator and rode it up towards the exit. I was listening to music on the ride up when the escalator suddenly came to a screeching halt! I remember thinking, this is a bit odd because this has never happened to me before.
I stood frozen for no more than two seconds when the person behind me yelled, “let’s get moving, buddy.” So, of course, I turned around and gave him the universal, please go ahead look, then moved to the side, and he flew by me like a bat out of hell!
Amused and unfazed by his actions, I calmly transitioned into journaling mode, snapped a pic, and started writing. As soon as I began typing, what do you know, the escalator started moving! I finished framing up my thought with two steps to go to before landing on the sidewalk. Then, I walked off in stride and proceeded to a pizza parlor.
Ironically, when I was ordering a slice, guess who was standing in line? Yep, it was the guy in a rush, and what’s more, I got my order before he did. I waved bye-bye on the way out, and he burst out laughing!
Talk about a thrilling escalator ride and short adventure, which turned into this lighthearted post. 😊
I hope you had a productive Thursday, and I wish you a pleasant evening. Let's go!
