It's bad enough that the escalators at the Metros are hardly ever working or that the Metro officials working at the "gate" are generally rude and unhelpful...but this is ridiculous.

Right? The Friendship Heights metro stop (red line) is about 3 blocks from the house I grew up in, and I swear at least one of their three escalators was ALWAYS out of service.

I took the metro to and from high school almost every day my freshman and sophomore years with a couple of friends/classmatees who lived nearby. The same guy was always working the gate, and I swear that dude hated the world.
