To the woman teaching her young daughter how to walk down the stairs “one-step at a time” while coming out of the 5 train in Atlantic Terminal during rush-hour at 5:27 PM when I’m running for the 5:29 PM train, think really hard about what you’re doing and how many people you’re inconveniencing.
Maybe, next time, you can PICK UP YOUR DAUGHTER, considering she weighs probably less than the Thanksgiving turkey.
No big deal if you lack the strength despite her tiny size. Sometimes, the doctor tells you that you can’t lift anything for medical reasons.
I totally understand.
I also totally anticipated this bullsh*t excuse coming out of your very mouth, so I’ve come up with an alternative for you!
Alas! THE ELEVATOR. It provides a sort of “hop on, hop off” type environment more conducive to your daughter’s little baby twig legs.
Then, you can teach her how to use the ELEVATOR, which slows down NOBODY, as opposed to blocking the entire staircase in order to teach a child how stairs work.
Sorry, but we really don’t have time for your horsesh*t.
Until next time,
