WMATA: We ask customers to refrain from walking or running on our escalators however scooting is encouraged.
winner
Can’t win. Not funny.
agreed. not funny
“If you see something, say something!” Ummmm.
+1
Must. Work off. Donuts.
umm… stand right?… walk left?… roll where?… I’m so confused!
Officer Jones knew that Metro doesn’t strollers or bicycles on escalators… but hey, they never said anything about Segways!
Oops… meant “Metro doesn’t _allow_ strollers or bicycles. . .”
PoP reader Matt91 has figured out a new way of ensuring himself an “elbow-free commute.”
I hope the perp is still up there.
“Zoom ZOOM Zoom” (with apologies to Mazda… please don’t sue me)
Do you know how dangerous it is to cross 14th street? I do!
Sh*t. What do I do now that another metro escalator broke down?
“Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself!”
“Wow, who knew that segways could ride up metro stairs?”
To protect and swerve.
Um… was I not supposed to do that? Is that frowned upon?
Lazy^3
Incident Report – 09:00 4/1/2012 – On duty officer reported super glue on his Segway’s platform. *Snicker*
Why walk, run, or stand when you can use a lawn mower?
“Cathy’s Put the Officers to Work Campaign is a brilliant shining success.”
Stand right, walk left, Seqway middle, but just hold the handrail.
Officer Blue wants to be the first Segway rider to shatter the glass ceiling.
DC’s first “Dress like a cop on a Segway” flash mob was a complete failure.
Many Segway tours promise you a complete tour of the Nation’s Capital, ours is the only one to really deliver.
Ack – that was me – thought I was signed in.
This thing will keep me upright. I don’t see why I still have to hold onto the handrail for my safety. Stupid WMATA rules.
Bad cop – no doughnut!
MPD’s final academy test consists of executing the perfect one wheel motion.
“That’s how I roll”

Attention Metro customers: escalators are out of service at the Columbia Heights Metro Station. Shuttle service is available from the bottom of the escalator to the top. Please allow for an extra 45 minutes of travel time.
ha! +1
Elevators are for out of shape losers.
“A man was robbed of his farecards at the Columbia Heights Metro this morning, as he prepared to go through the gates. An officer was on patrol in the station at the time, but the chase was briefly interrupted when the offender disregarded Metro policy and ran up the escalator. The suspect is still at large.”
…Hmmmm…Let me hold on to the handrail for safety! Really?
“Stand Clear of the Falling Segway”
Officer Lou knew he had a problem when the escalator he was riding on came to a sudden halt.
In a miraculous demonstration of the self-control of Washingtonians, citizens resisted the urge to hit the emergency stop button.
Doubling up is never a good idea.
Retirement pension here I come!
No respect for the law.
MPD offers it’s nomination for Ridiculously Awesome Album Cover of the Week with this, Led Zepplin’s limited release single entitled “Segway to Heaven”.
And he’s buying a Segway to heaven…
HEY COPPER! Jim Helselden thought he was invincible too!
CELEBRITY SIGHTING! Paul Blart was seen at Metro Center Station today.
Please tell me I didn’t just drop my keys.
The broken escalator wasn’t as much a problem as the lack of a proper exit strategy.
Any more questions about why America is facing an obesity epidemic?
“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an “Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order” sign, just “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience”. Damn you, Mitch Hedberg…!
Metro:
You have the right to remain silent. (But we prefer the noise working escalators make.)
Anything you say or do can and will be held against you. (See PoP, Unsuck DC Metro, etc.)
You have the right to an attorney. (God knows how many are already on retainer.)
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. (Those fare increases have to pay for something.)
Do you understand these rights I have just read to you? (The following escalators are out of service in the metro rail system:…)
“I KNEW I should’ve gotten the off-road package!”
“Hey, stairs! Freeze! I said FREEZE!”
The script for “Paul Blart 2″ was not as exciting as producers had hoped.
“Oh, yeah, YOU figure out a better way, Genius!”
Segue on up.
High speed chases are not what they used to be.
If THIS doesn’t get me into a PoPville Photo Archives Caption Contest, I don’t know what will!
Worst Spot for a Morning Cup of Coffee and/or Mojito
Despite his best effort, Officer Jones was unable to push his Segway to the right so others could walk on the left.
“Stand on the right. Walk on the left. Roll in the middle.”
