Escalators
On Saturday I was at Southern Cross station and was walking towards the escalators that go down to the Burke Street / Spencer Street intersection. I saw a lady up ahead pause at the top and then place a couple of shopping bags on it and off they went down the escalator, and then she stepped on after them. As I approached the top of the escalator she was almost at the bottom, and as the escalator began to flatten out she attempted to pick up those bags. She fumbled, picked up only one and tripped over the second one, face planting on the ground. I thought it was pretty funny how she attempted to navigate the escalators, and made me think that I could do a short revolving around people's bizarre and unsuccessful attempts at a supposedly simple task as walking down an escalator.
Ideas such as people trying to move furniture down them, the aforementioned placing bags / luggage on them before stepping on, getting stuck, and other possibilities I have not thought of yet.
