So I had one of the weirdest G.Hype(R) entrance experiences yesterday and I genuinely need to know if I’m the only one.
There’s this guy (security? staff? self-appointed guardian?) dressed in full Arab attire, standing near the escalators/elevators like he owns the entire vertical business system. His whole vibe is “you shall not pass”… except you actually MUST pass him to go anywhere.
Here’s the thing:
- You can’t wait near him.
- You can’t pause to check your phone.
- You can’t even breathe wrong.
The moment you slow down, he starts chasing you with this aggressive tone and heavy accent, shouting like you just committed a serious crime. Not a polite “please move” — more like you’ve personally offended his ancestors.
And if you dare respond? Oh, congratulations, you’ve unlocked Level 2: Bullying Mode.
I honestly don’t understand:
Who hired him?
What exactly is his job description?
Is he guarding escalators from… loitering?
Because last I checked, malls are literally places where people walk, stop, browse, and exist.
At one point I felt like I was in some kind of game:
“Stand still for 5 seconds → get yelled at”
“Make eye contact → instant aggression”
“Talk back → boss fight begins”
I get that crowd control is a thing, but this wasn’t control — this was intimidation with bonus attitude.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of “over-enthusiastic escalator enforcement officer”? Or did I just encounter a rare NPC with maxed-out hostility stats?
Curious if this is normal somewhere or if I just got lucky yesterday 😅
