Just came to my mind, I was still studying in Utrecht. At the escalators was this old arab man who was obviously afraid to step on it. I was only one of the hundreds of people who must have seen he was desperate for someone giving him a hand but I was really in a hurry because I was late I no second to lose. I am now kinda ashamed I didn't help him down but I had an exam. It kinda haunts me how desperately he was looking around for someone to come to his aid, I passed the exam but failed at humanity that day

lol, I wouldn't let it haunt me. Afraid of escalators? Does he need to be tucked into bed each night in order to go to sleep too? The old bugger just needs to man up and use the escalator or find some stairs.
That is my cynical two cents.

I'm thinking of the most angry and defiant ring tone song for my phone.

This one obviously just rolled of the mountain, he probably never seen an escalator before and was obviously desperate, trembling and almost in tears. I don't care if I was one out of hundreds who saw it, I should have given him a hand I would only have been 5 minutes late

Before I had a car, I always used my bicycle and was always angry with how automobile drivers behaved. When I now drive my car, I always get angry at how automobile drivers behave, but also with how cyclists behave, but when I go by bicycle, I get angry with automobile drivers only.

In fact, when you are driving a vehicle, no matter which one, I think you are always convinced that you drive well and flawless, while all others are idiots who get in your way.

Vehicles bring out the worst in humans and should be forbidden. If everybody would always go by foot, the world would be more relaxed and peaceful. Just like in the Stone Age...

Coffee and chocolate are a match made in heaven, but the devil must have somehow spoiled it, since it makes you fat.

It is cruel. I absolutely love coffee and chocolate, but can't have too much of either, since too much caffeine or too much chocolate are unhealthy.

Why can't salad or Brussels sprouts be unhealthy? Why can't they invent healthy cigars and healthy whisky. Useless scientists.
