People who stand to the left instead of standing to the right are like speed bumps, and they slow down the pedestrian flow through the stations. The number of trains missed due to escalefters is horrifyingly high and this tragic epidemic must be stopped. 例句: Oh man I hate it when there is an escalefter in front of me when I'm getting off the subway and running late for work.
