Fair question, Sloppy. We've more or less decided that the word "irrational" can either mean that the hatred itself is irrational or that the hatred is rational but that you feel it with irrational strengthSloppy Dupree wrote:When able-bodied people don’t walk up and down escalators while they’re moving.

DC people absolutely love to show how busy and important they are by taking the metro escalators as fast as possible. I try to make sure I’m in their way.

Oh I definitely feel it with irrational strength.

Guys, escalators are designed for standing still. Please look into this. If you want exercise, take the stairs.

I'm kind of the opposite. I tell my kids to use them at every oportunity.
