An Escalator Can Never Break

An underrated (and very true) joke by comedian Mitch Hedberg (1968-2005).
An escalator can never break - it can only become stairs.

Escalator Friends

Being a friend not just a fan

Someone who is a person, friend, or acquaintance enough to the point of recognition in the brief passing

Not necessarily by name but at least recognition.

If ignored then the relationship is one sided

Just a fan not a friend
**you are at least escalator friends:

Person to husband of couple: Ope howzit?

The husband: ope!

The significant other: who’s that?

Husband: oh just the guy from the place

**Not even escalator friends

Pesron who thought u all was friends to couple: hey! How’s ur car! You still work at that place? Hello?? Hi!

*ignored*

Significant other to husband: he knows so much about you who’s that?

Husband: I have no idea

Central escalator

the central escalator is one of the newly famous lanky teenage attractions, where teens go under the escalator to do LG, smoke weed, vape, makeout, write on the escalator and many more fun things lanky Pattaya kids do these days, you have probably been under there and saw drawings of dicks, pussies, Instagram @'s, and Pattaya's personal favourite, people writing about how much maoileo is a dickhead.

Lanky lad1: bro i wanna get high, not make out

Escalating

You can't expect it to NOT escalate piece. You're presupposing that NOTHING should ever translate to child murder... And IT DOES. You're finding yourself disappointed. And I am perfectly capable of understanding that you want your kids to be safe but at a certain point you have to start considering what kind of things translate to child murder ACTUALLY, regardless of our own biased presuppositions about when violence is or is not justified. Like, we don't need to agree that child murder is justified. I need to agree with EXACTLY ONE person. And you're not Hym.
A retard "No u! Something-Something non-sequitur."

Hym "Is literally your response to everything and now I either have to let you keep screeching down my appeal for a remedy to the stalking and harassment or I have to murder your kids and kill myself because I will never let you do this to control my behavior or get me to do something else. No u, Something-Something non-sequitur isn't going to work here. You are not entitled to this not escalating and it looks like you want it to do that."
