| The kind of laziness I really hate. |
Why are people so lazy?
I know, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Yes, I admit I am lazy, but not about
everything. Lazy cook? Yes. Study
Japanese lazy? Yes, sometimes. I could write down a long list of things I am
lazy about. Walking is not one of them.
Before you get scared and roll your eyes, this is not a harangue
about people who drive their cars when they could walk. This isn't even a harangue about people who
park illegally in disable parking (they should be shot, even if they have a
sticker they "borrowed" from a family member). This is a different harangue altogether.
There are two types of lazy people that bother me the
most. The people who take the elevator
one floor, and the people who use the automatic door open button. Let's take them one at a time.
Taking the elevator one floor is wrong. No wonder North America
has a weight problem. If you've never
been to the building, and don't know where the stairwell is (despite clear
signs directing you to it) perhaps you have a reason for your sad, pathetic
behaviour. However, after multiple
visits and guided tours, you're just pissing the rest of us off. When I take the elevator up to the twentieth
floor, I don't expect or want to stop at every floor. I'm not in a Japanese department store.
As for using the automatic door opener..... if you're a
child, I won't blame you. An automatic door
is cool. I will blame your parents
though if you continue to do this into your teen years. What's wrong with you? Is the door too heavy? Are you unable to read which way it opens,
and therefore need to press that button to stop you from looking stupid? (By
the way, it doesn't work that way.
Pressing the button makes you look stupid and feeble.) You're in the way, and you're taking too long
to get through the door.
