Stupid school holidays

I'm starting to dislike school holidays! Not only do i no longer get to enjoy them, i have to suffer the effects of it too!
On day one of school holiday, firstly you will feel a decrease in de no of seats on de train. Then u will see a sudden increase of young children runnin around bus stops and train stations and Accompanyin these kids will be their mums aka aunties..

These aunties are seriously de most irritating people on earth!
They know nothing about standing on a side of de escalator to allow people who are rushing to catch de train to pass. They just stand there with their child on de same step and block de bloody escalator, forcing people to stop behind them and bring it to their attention that they are blockin de bloody escalator!

Is it really that hard to educate them that it is only gracious and considerate to be just stand on de left side of an escalator for that short few seconds if they are too lazy to move while on the already moving escalator??

I am so mad because while on my way to work today, i was trying to rush for de train that was due to arrive in 1 min. On de escalator from higher ground to de underground i was blocked by 5 groups of couples hogging de escalator, so after several 'excuse me' and 'thank you' i finally got to de bottom of de escalator( approx 30s).
Once down, I continued RUNNING to the card tappin machine and noticed from de other end of de control station was a mum and daughter rushing as well. They reached the gate few seconds before i did.
After we went thru de machine gates, we all saw that de train has docked and doors are open, remembering the fact tat they were running as madly as i, i assumed that they will continue to run towards the train and thus decided to not act like a 'Kan chiong' spider and try to squeeze my way past them.. Unfortunately for me, it was a grave grave mistake. De daughter wanted to continue running but was stopped by the irritating mum.
So there i wat, stuck behind them both while they contemplated whether to continue running down that short flight of escalator, staring at the train sound the door closing warning, close its doors and leave.

I swear i could have caught that train if the mum didn't stop her daughter and if both of them were considerate enough to keep too one side of de escalator and if both of them didn't block my way..
Because of them i was late for work, and had to waste another 7 mins waitin for de next train to come..Just my luck. :(
