Button Pushers
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.

hi, everytime i open my account here, i saw your blog, before i didn’t pay attention to it…maybe cause you are not in my list of friends but when it happends all the time,i thought maybe i should give it a try reading what you have written in there….until i caught myself reading all your ‘blogs’…so i go on your profile and congratulations for passing that bar exam…but to my main point before you will get tired of reading this…why won’t you try writing a book and be like John Grisham….you have the potential as I see it!! hey, even if you don’t know me…but give it a second thought and please let me know if u have a book on the way and I am your first fan to watch it out in the book store.:)

You’re right. But there are also those who would stand at the pedestrian light for 10 minutes and wonder why it took so long to go green. Turns out the whole bunch of whole standing there all thought that the other person had already pressed the button. I was one of those stupid people.

I have this elevator in my apartment building which sometimes decides to cancel my request for the 4th floor if it stops on the 2nd or 3rd.
The first time I didn’t realize what had happened and stood in a stalled elevator for a minute or two before realizing the error.
More horror - one weekend the elevator decided to sit open on the 3rd floor all weekend and would not work. I got on it to try to make the door close…which it did…very slowly. When I pushed the button to open the doors again the action was delayed leaving me with a moment of panic before they slugged their way open. Already was having a bad weekend, last thing I needed was to be trapped on an elevator.
Shudders and shakes, random wait times, lights that never go off, some lights that turn themselves off - sketchy elevator from hell.

The action of repeatedly pushing an elevator button, and believing with all your heart that this action will increase the speed of the elevator to arrive at your floor, is known as “elecelleration.”
