A passenger was complaining about operation of an escalator

※Before I begin, I need to explain the background of the incident. At Uehonmachi station, there used to be two escalators connect ground platforms and underground platforms. One is up, and the other is down. But, due to improvement of the former escalator, the latter escalator was changed to be up.


On may way home from thd university, I found the man scolding a guard. The man said "Last month, I remember this escalator was down. If you inform us the change of operation, you should construct a fence here. And・・・"
The man scolded at length.


Such a foolish passenger became social phenomenon in Japan. Some people say the phenomenon is caused by education of Japanese teachers organization, which is usually treated as a leftist organization. Though I can't decide whether leftists disturb Japanese morals, childish adults should be corrected.
