elevatory annoyance
Sep. 2nd, 2008 05:19 pmI work on the 4th floor now, which is officially the number of flights of stairs I am too impatient to climb. So. I take the elevator more often than not.
Invariably I get in the elevator with a couple of guys, end up in the back because they insist I enter first, then have to wait for them to carefully step to the side when we all get to our floor... so they can again insist that I leave first.
This is mind-bendingly inefficient. And then! I feel obligated to say thank you, because that is the agreed upon polite response to someone holding the door. Grr.
