Rat Trying to Get Off Escalator Is Perfect Metaphor For Life

I am this rat. You are this rat. We are all this rat.

Further, the rat is getting more exercise in a few minutes than I’ve gotten in the past year. I’ve heard of a hamster wheel, but this is ridiculous! The man who took the video said he tried to help the rat off, but the rat said “No thanks! I’m just getting a little jog in before I go sing at the moon. By the way, have you seen my papa?” (Alternately: “I’m just working off that ratatouille from last night! Being a rat chef is hard! Etc.!”)
