What long arse escalator are you riding that gives you enough time to get this irritated?
I don't know about the OP but the DC Metro system has some of the longest escalators in this hemisphere.

This station features the longest set of single-span escalators in the Western Hemisphere, each featuring a length of 230 feet (70 m), with a vertical rise of 115 feet (35 m). It is the second deepest station in the system, behind Forest Glen, which has an elevator-only exit due to its depth. Wheaton's escalators travel at a speed of 90 feet (27 m) per minute (±5%) and are set at an inclination of 30 degrees. The trip takes approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds, though some commuters shorten the time by walking.

Peachtree Center Station in Atlanta has some massive ones too. The platforms are 120 feet underground. The Ellis Street escalator is 193 feet long and steep.
