Button Pushers

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

So let’s get right to it…you’ve waited long enough.  I get back from lunch the other day and push the elevator button to go back to my office.  I then wait…a minute goes by.  Someone else comes to the elevator bank I am at and the proceeds to wait for 15 seconds.  Apparently I did not hit the button well enough because he goes over and proceeds to hit the elevator button which is already lit.  Another 5 seconds go by.  Clearly his hit must not have registered….the elevators are ignoring him.  He then proceeds to hit the button another 22 times.  Nothing.  A deep breath and another 23 hits later the elevator appears…clearly due to his persistence.  What would I have done if he never came along?  I might have been stuck there all day.
