Dear Tourist,

Ahem. Ahem. AHEM.

Excuse Me... Excuse Me... EXCUSE ME!

Yes, I'm trying to get your attention, and I have been for the past three minutes.  I realize that this might be your first time in the city.  Therefore, let me be the first to welcome you.  Having said that...

Some of us actually live here.  And work here.  And, you may have heard, kind of important things happen here. So, when you decide that you absolutely have to get around the city at the busiest time of day, please remember one thing...

Stand on the right. Walk on the left.

Simple, really.  However... when you completely ignore this agreed upon fact, YOU are responsible for the very angry people behind you.

Yes. Go Ahead. Look behind you.

See the line of people glaring up at you?  Their faces mean one simple thing...

WALK UP THE ESCALATOR OR MOVE TO THE RIGHT SIDE!

I'm so glad we understand each other now.

Have a great rest of your vacation.

Love,

The Line of Washingtonians Behind You
