I was assigned to a project at one of our clients’ offices. On short notice and right after having returned from my honeymoon. No sales work for the moment, no stupid co-workers or interns. Very pleasant. Except for one thing: elevators.
My (temporary) office is on the top floor of the building. Tall building. I usually take the stairs on my way down after work, if time permits. When time is an issue, though, i.e. before work, or during lunch breaks, meetings, etc., I must rely on the elevators. And they have a major design flaw: too-easy-to-push-buttons on the wall, too far inside the elevator.
Every once in a while somebody leans against the buttons and hits (usually just) a small number of them by accident. I have gotten into a habit already of warning people about the buttons. Like today, when this lady’s purse kept hitting the button that re-opens the doors. She looked up, turned around, took her purse off her shoulder, appologized, turned back around, and then leaned against the wall in such a stupid way that she hit all (!) of the buttons with her ass and back. This caused the f**king elevator to stop at every level on the way up. What a waste of time.
I am not Marcus. 
Guess elevators should have a reset button.
They should.
Some elevators on other wings of the building actually have a security override that can be activated with a key. For the top bosses that never travel without bodyguards, not even inside the building. But although I work on the top floor I’m afraid I’m not special (at risk) enough.
But this gave you the chance to leave the evelator after you went one floor down and then take the stairs. As you did, didn’t you?
Down? Up! I was on my way up. Sure I would have walked had I been on my way down, but up: no way.
