building etiquette

2 randumb thoughts for the randumbly random person:

-- something that i've noticed buildings have more of since i've lived in
chicago are the revolving doors. this is some secret ploy to get us to
burn at least 3 calories before we start our day. and on some days, they
add a little more resistance to it by not oiling it up or whatever magic
sauce is needed to make it revolve at an easier push. my little jokey joke
is letting someone go through it before me, knowing that it's the beginning
of the day and energy is not exactly up to par, and when he/she starts to
give their little push, i come after him/her and push as hard as i can,
making them move faster. yeah, yeah...i'm that a**hole...but
realistically, i'm just creating an evil joke in my mind. bwooohahahhahaa!

-- elevator standing. so...a bunch of people will wait for an elevator.
DING! a nice, empty one shows up to provide our upward transportation.
what i don't understand are the people that don't know where to stand in
the elevator OR they just won't move to any other spot besides their
"favorite" spot or something. people have this need to get in and out of
it as quick as possible. are you really in that much of a hurry to get to
work? sure...there are morning meetings, appointments, deadlines...yada
yada...but come on! you have no control over the speed of the elevator nor
are you gonna save any much as 1 second if you're standing closer to the
sliding elevator doors when they get to your floor. chill out! AND THEN,
there are the people that stand right in the middle of the elevator box.
when everyone is trying to pile in because they don't want to wait for the
next available one, there's this one jerk that's gotta stand right in the
middle of the thing. that's like when you're looking for parking and a car
takes up two spaces on the side of the street and you know if that dumbass
had moved just a couple of more inches back or forth, you could fit in
there. makes ya wanna "Errrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!"

time for more pure unnatural energy called cappuccino....

p.s. if you're ever wondering why my spacing is wacky - it's because thru
advanced technology, i'm posting through my email!! ooooooh...fancy...
