Do I have the right to be annoyed about this, or am I overreacting?

Is it okay to be annoyed at people who use lifts or elevators when they could easily use escalators or stairs?

I am a mum who has a baby in a pram! This means I myself, along with people in wheelchairs and even some elderly people, am not in a position to use the escalators or the stairs. However, I am finding quite a lot of people, like school kids who are very capable of using the escalators and even walking up the stairs, will use the lifts; some will even push in front of you to get on, ignoring the fact you were there first. There are times when they push past you, which sometimes forces us to wait until the lift either comes back up or comes back down.

I find it extremely frustrating that so many people who are very capable of using the escalators and stairs are using the lifts instead, sometimes stopping those of us who genuinely need to use the lifts. Sometimes I actually want to tell them off.

Before anyone says anything. The escalators are not safe to take a pram on them and they even have warnings advising you not to do this as it's a safety thing.

I can't believe the amount of selfish people who think it is perfectly okay for those who have no disability and who are veey capable of using the escalators and stairs that right next to the lift to push past someone who is elderly, in a wheelchair and even has a pram to take our spot on the lift especially when none of us can use the escalators or stairs because security won't allow anyone who has a pram to use the escalators because of safety reason and the risk a child could get injured

I wonder if you would have the same fucking attitude if this happened to someone you loved

No. It should be permissible to stomp small minded gatekeepers like you into the elevator until only spaghetti and sauce comes out the other side.

Don't judge others, they are not all disabled like you.

Being annoyed by being cut in line is reasonable, but being annoyed that people choose to use x way of going up a floor, is just dumb. As long as they do not push others out of the way and wait their turn, its fine that they use whatever.

Oh my goodness I'm clearly saying they are pushing there way past us. These people do t fucking need to use the lifts yet those of with prams and wheelchairs do.

The escalators are right next to the lifts so it's not like they have to walk half way across to get to them

There is no point to repeating yourself, I understood you the first time, my answer is the same.

YES!

The other day I was with my grandma at airport and she would get a leg pain if she takes a lot of stairs and is scared of escalators

So I decide to take elevator and these young lads are rushing in

[Asker]

I get this. This is not what I am saying. I'm talking about school kids who have no disability and are very capable to using the escalators and stairs which are right next to the lift these people are fucking even pushing past to get in I can't use the escalators or stairs

[Asker]

Did you even bother to read my question because if you did you would have seen I said some elderly people as I know damn well there are elderly people who need to use them I'm fucking talking about those who have no disability and are very capable of using the escalators and stairs that are right next to the lifts

Why do you need the right to have emotions? You just do.
On the other hand, you don't get to tell me what I can or can't do. It's not about you having the right or not, it's that I do have the right.

You sound like someone who believes they are entitled.

You seem pleasant to be around.

[Asker]

Well you try having a fucking pram with a baby and dealing with bullshit people who fucjing push past you when you need the fucking lift. I can't fucking use the escalators as security don't let you use them with a pram for safety reasons and I can't carry the fucking pram up the stairs.

[gorydetails]

thanks for confirming.

Yes, but don't let it ruin your day.

Hard not to at times when you are left waiting like 10 minutes for the lift because jack ass who can use the escalators that are right next to the lift push past you to take your spot in the lift.
