Wait For It...

Public Service Announcement to Fellow Users of Elevators

I understand that elevators are frustrating. And being dependent on them - as you must be, since your schedule is so hectic that taking the time to walk the stairs is absolutely out of the question - must be so demoralizing. Seriously... its as though your can-do-attitude has been stripped from your very bones by the Boxes Of Ultimate Up-And-Down-I-Ness.

However...

You're not going to intimidate them.

Not by pushing the buttons over and over with varying speed and franticness...

Not by glaring at the elevator arrival beacons one-by-one in turn until the elevator arrives...

Not even by running to the door of the elevator as it does finally arrive, and bracing your hands within the doorframe so as to best propel yourself inwards when it finally beckons you forth.**1

No... I can almost guarantee that none of those tactics will coerce the Hurtling Rooms of Doom to work any faster.

But if you're making yourself feel better, by all means please continue - The onlookers find it pretty entertaining, if I do say so myself.

RaYD,

Sunny

**1 No... That, most certainly, is the best way to run chest-first into another harried elevator-rider and then you'll have to (steady yourself for this...) apologize. You know, for being an impatient scumsucker.
