Lifts

when I was at College they had it advertised that if you walked up the stairs to the 5th floor every day for a year it was the same as walking 2 munroes.

It made me use the stairs, and the fact that the first day I was there I got in the lift to go up to the 5th floor and there was a crazy girl in it listening to rave music on an mp3 player, when I got in the lift she took an earphone out and asked if I wanted to listen.
 
It's a little annoying, but you know what's more annoying; fat people eating really slowly, asif they're full, when really, they just want to munch the lot in one mouthful.
 
I worked at Abbey and i worked on the first floor, i didnt catch the lift i walked :D

Now the second floor was a whole other story :D

Walking was more time consuming.
 
1: when theres only 1 person in the elevator tap them on the shoulder then when they turn pretend it wasnt you.

2: push all the buttons then walk away. a few minutes later come back for more.

3: ask if you can push the buttons for other people then get them wrong

4: hold open the door and say you are waiting for a friend. after a while close them and say "hey george, hows your day been?"

5: stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionaly

6: drop a pen and wait til someone picks it up, then scream "THATS MINE!!!"

7: take a camara and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8: take a desk in and when somone comes in ask them if they have an appointment

9: put down a twister mat and ask everyone if they want to play

10: leave a box in the corner and ask if they can hear the ticking

11: pretend your a flight attendent and go over safety procedures.

12: ask "did u feel that!?!?"

13: when the doors close annonce "dont worry, they open again"

14: swat flies that dont exist

15: call out "group hug" and enforce it

16: grimace painfully, slap your forehead and mutter "shut up, all of you, SHUT UP!"

17: open your briefcase/purse and say into it "do you have enough air in there?"

18: stand silently facing the wall without getting off

19: stare at another passenger for a while then anounce " you're one of them" and back away slowly

20: wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers

21: listen to the walls with a stethoscope

22: make explosoin noises when anyone presses a button

23: grin at another passenger for a while then say "i have new socks on"

24: draw a little square on the floor and tell the others this is your "personal" space.

(i know, i know, its oooooooooold)
I find it funny watching people who have no idea how lifts work. For example, today i was on the 6th floor of an 8 storey building wanting to go down. " other pple standing there waiting. The lift opens (dusnt 'ping' or put the light out etc) and theres people in it who dont get out so its clearly going up...1 guy gets in it and it closes. We watch the LCD display above the lift...7...8...7...6...and it opens again to reveal the same guy standing there on his own.

Those are great!
 
I wanna go round school in the machine the child I look after does.
There is no lift in school apart from when we go to Science, and they move round the site and up and down the stairs all day.

He sits in one of these (although it has a chair more suitable for him than the one in the video.)

I use the lifts in my dept at uni, I normally walk about a mile across the city and up the hill at a fair pace, so take it easy once I'm actually in the building to cool off a bit before walking into a lecture, so I will get the lift even if it is only 1 floor. Generally though if it's anything greater than 1 floor then I get the lift, unless it's between lectures when there's loads of people on the move so I take the stairs. I don't really care what anyone thinks of me though for inconveniencing their day by holding them up for a few seconds as I leave the elevator.
 
Another thing that really bugs me is people that don't know how lifts work. There was one fat monstrosity in the hospital our lass had her knee operation in and she'd push the up button and down button no matter which direction she was wanting to travel.

It comes quicker if you do that, she'd tell people.

Fat *****.

Is it just me that this winds up?

Perfectly able bodied people using a lift to go up a whole ONE floor. Why do they do it? Are they THAT lazy?

It's such a nuisance when you are using the lift to get to the top of, say, a 10 storey building only for it to stop 5 times on the way so some lazy person can up a SINGLE floor despite the fact using the stairs would have been quicker than waiting for a lift anyway!


Amen!!!

Winds me up no end!
