#31: Close Quarters
Escalators have to be one of the most awkward public spaces ever created. Several people forced into a tiny moving staircase, avoiding eye contact and conversation at all costs, seems so unnatural. Why do we do this to ourselves? This parent witnessed their son’s embarrassing moment first hand and yes, the pun is entirely intended.
For some reason, this kid decided it would be a good idea to take his jacket off while on the escalator. While taking off one of the sleeves, he noticed something wet on his hand. Lifting his arm in such close quarters caused his hand to become trapped in the mouth of the poor girl behind him. To make matters worse, she was the one who said sorry- not him!
