Translink Haiku #17 and #18

Man, escalators!
So many disdain manners.
Shove past anyhow.

Translink reps hover
By platform. “Tickets?” they ask.
Those jackbooted thugs!

Okay, so I've kvetched about rude escalator behaviour in the past. But seriously, if you're making an active effort to stretch across the whole width of it while ignoring my 'excuse me!'s while my skytrain's rolling in, I'm going to get shirty. And you're going to have to deal with a short woman wearing a bowler emerging from underneath your armpit. I'm pretty sure Lovecraft had nightmares about that sort of thing.
