peeve of the day

[ITdrummer]

I thought of this thread today. It really peeves me when I am the first one at an elevator bank and have already hit the button, then some ass napkin comes behind me and hits the button again. The button has already been hit, why are you doing it again?

Or you are in a lobby, waiting for an elevator, and someone keeps pushing the call button over, and over, and over, and over again.... IT'S NOT GETTING HERE ANY FASTER, DIPSHIT!

Or someone gets on the elevator to go up one floor rather than take the stairs.

Not as pitiful as the ones taking the elevator down one floor.

grrrr ...

today i was in a building i've never been in before, and apparently only one of the 4 elevators were functional. i would have loved to take the stairs, but i couldn't find any way to access stairs from the ground floor lobby.

Might have already been said but happened to me last weekend. Someone greeting me when he pulls up next to me at the urinal. Eyes forward and STFU. And don't take the spot next to me when there are 10 open spots around me.

Did he tap your foot under the divider?

I feel kind of personally slighted, as if they need to make sure I hit the button like I am some halfwit.

i'm pretty sure there have been at least a couple dozen wars that could have been avoided over the years if people weren't so quickly offended. you really feel slighted that a person doesn't believe the light that shows that the button was pushed?

Nah, not really, I just wonder why people do it. Nervous? Gives you something to do rather than make small talk? Makes you look like you are busy and in a hurry? I just dont understand it.

I thought Hogdawg quit doing that sort of thing?

I'm not offended. It just bugs me how impatient people are. I really do think sometimes that people believe the more times they push the button, they feel they are accelerating the elevator towards them.

As far as taking the elevator up/down 1-floor:

My complaint comes from the hospital where I work. These people are employees. They definitely know their way around and where the stairwells are. (about 15ft. away from the elevators) Yet, they wait +5 mins. sometimes for an elevator, just to take it down one floor.

It's just extreme laziness and it drives me crazy.

I hate it when we hire someone new at my company in Russia or Brazil --or somewhere equally as far away-- and my inbox gets filled up with "Reply All" e-mail responses from dumba$$ employees saying "welcome aboard Mikhail", etc.... As if the rest of us need to see every single response to Mikhail.

Reply all is the devil.

mp3 player that has a "random" setting, but only plays a few dozen of the hundreds of songs on the device when in that mode. mine doesn't seem to like led zeppelin or david crowder, but it really loves the white stripes and nora jones. it tries to play "walking blues" at least twice a day (either by robert johnson or eric clapton).
