Even on escalators not in airports, people with small children get exemptions.
But please, dear doG! Do not try to beat people to the escalator if you're just going to take up the whole thing.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Kristen,
Do you still use your old timminear.net address?

Most of the ones here really aren't wide enough to comfortably accommodate one set of adults moving past another to the side.
Who said comfortably?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
By people other than Stephen Colbert??
By people I respect, even. By people I had to explain "white privilege" to, but there you go. No harm done, no foul. But if you've noticed what size my rack is, you damned well better have noticed my race.
So, it's official. No funding for my position past June 30th. He's going to try and get more, but there's no guarantee. Cost savings mode and all that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn, that sucks. Good luck!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My pet peeve is people not having their wallet out and ready when they get to the cashier. Dude, you were waiting in line to PAY--don't you think you could assume you would need to get at your money or credit card?

Oh that SUCKS, ita. Did I miss this before, or is this a big, bad new thing?

There's an assumption of acquaintance, by means of shared minority. So all the black guys on my floor at work had at least said "hello" to me in my first week, and there are many white guys here who'll never say a thing. I know where they are, they know where I am.
Oh, I knew that!
Nothing cracks me like people who stand in a long line at a counter and only start to look at the menu when it's they're time to order.
The farmer's market here would make most of you into murderers. It's a rabbit warren of rooms in a old brewery. No discernible lines. People stop and talk in tight areas where people are trying to get through. They swing their baguettes with no concern for others. If I don't get there before 9AM, I just don't go.

Yeah, I think that's my biggest pet peeve mentioned so far.
Where do peeves come from, anyway, and who thought it'd be a good idea to make pets of them?

But if you've noticed what size my rack is, you damned well better have noticed my race.
Two completely different parts of the brain, I should think.
Yeah, I think "I don't even notice race" is the new version of "some of my best friends are black!" And by new, of course, I mean... er, not new.
