When I imagined it, it took people up. The fact that its a down escalator is baffling.

When I imagined it, I didn't imagine 2x the height in stairs needed to complete the transition.

Either this was purposely done to get in the GBWR, or it's design fail of epic proportions.

When I imagine it, I imagine guys working on the building for weeks, it's almost done, they're finishing up with the escalator and half way through they're out of parts. The contractor has gone out of town figuring his work is done and it's not the worker's fault that someone screwed up the escalator order, so they finish it off with stairs and go home. Whatchagonnado?
...and @Peroxide LOL

Fatfucks will rejoice, the world is getting closer to perfection.

Maybe it's art or a prank.

I like the part where it delivers you to actual stairs.

I know this isn't an exact dupe, but what's the policy when it's pretty much the same thing?

Think they were just going for the Record?

Kudos to the sleazy salesman who pitched the 5-step escalator.

This one has extra information, so it's definitely not a dupe. If this one had been posted first, and the shorter one second, it would have been much more debatable.

And yet there are clearly more people using it than the (wider) stairs next door.

Extraordinary.

It's not just lazy "fat fucks" that use escalators... the elderly, the disabled, and those carrying luggage find them very useful. Although that doesn't explain why, in this case, there are still stairs to negotiate!

Reminds me of the toilet I have that also dresses me every morning.

I don't know if this actually makes them lazy, looks like it would be more dangerous to walk down. Now, people who stand on regular escalators they really are lazy - especially people who don't move to the right so people like me who are in a fucking rush can get by.
