Once, walking across the lobby of the building where I have been working recently, one of the elevators' doors opened for me. There was no one else in the lobby and the call button had not been pressed.
The next time this happened I noticed where I was walking - dead centre, towards the call button.
This morning, I walked towards an open doored elevator to one side of the lobby. It was already half-full of people, all of whom were facing me and watching me walk towards them as the doors began to close. No one reached out to stop them. Faces were blank. Impassive and drone-like; blameless for the closing doors. Commuter faces.
Until I hopped three feet to the right and made the door open all by myself.
Everyone reacted to that.
Fucking brilliant. Now thats what smart enginnering is all about.
Ooh, clever and naughty.
Winner! I love it when a plan comes together :)
nice one!
You sly devil. +1 Wisdom.
I just read this to Matt and we laughed our asses off. Elevators are fun.
The "lifts" (elevators? you damn yanks... ohh hang on...) in our office do that. Few people seem to realise it and I take great delight in walking round in circles on my phone keeping the doors open... closing.. open.. closing.. open...
Such fun as they bash the buttons (the building's only four floors high as well, lazy buggers).
ha! suckers
Gordon, you win my Evil Genius of the Week award.
