When you think of an escalator, you probably imagine the slow rolling set of stairs you ride when you try to go to the next floor of a mall. What you don’t think of is a person that will take a situation to the extreme. Yet some people have a knack for doing just that. These “escalators” take a simple situation and build it to grandiose proportions in the blink of an eye.
I feel like everyone knows someone who constantly escalates things. They tend to make a mountain out of a mole hill when it isn’t necessary. We need these people in our lives to make us realize that we are sane, so be thankful for their ridiculousness.
