The Elevator and the 2nd floor
Can I vent here for a second?
I work on the 5th floor of my building, and I think it is a reasonable desire to want to take the elevator to and from that floor. What really peeves me is when I get on the elevator in the morning with other people, and someone has the nerve to hit “2″. It’s one floor. Take the stairs! You have to understand, I am sometimes lazy, but even I would take the stairs to the 2nd floor.
If you are carrying a lot of stuff, I might understand. But for goodness sakes, it is probably quicker to walk than to wait on the elevator.
By that same token, once the clock strikes 5 pm, I am out the door. An equally annoying thing is when the elevator stops at the 2nd floor to pick someone up to go down one floor. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
When you go down stairs, gravity is on your side. It helps you go downstairs just like God intended. You don’t need to stop an elevator full of people itching to go home just to take it down one floor.
Why, people, why?
