I have a pretty extensive list of My Pet Peeves when it comes to driving.
I've been working at a new position since December, and it's the first time in a long time where I had to take an elevator to get to the floor that I work on. In this case, I'm on the 10th floor which - for all intents and purposes - is the top floor of the building.
So every morning, it's in at the ground floor, out at the top floor. If I want my morning ice for my Thermos products (thanks to my lovin' wife, Carol), it's in a the top floor, out in the basement where the "cafeteria" is located (I use the term loosely).
So, basically, my elevator travels are bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom. That's it.
Well, now that I've been riding elevators more frequently, there are a few things that I find annoying.
The first thing is - there's just no way in hell I can figure out which elevator car is going to go up first from the lobby. Oh, sure, there's lights indicating that. You would think they would mean something. I've heard the "ding" of the bell, I've seen a light go on, I've seen people step in to the indicated elevator, and the damn thing just sits there. Other cars open, other people step in and they go up. I don't get it.
The other thing that grates me - that I can't do a damn thing about - are those people who stop my wonderful non-stop commute by getting on at an intermediate floor and get off a few floors later. Jeez, I want a "Special Request" button for Express Service only to keep these carpetbaggers off my car. How dare they interrupt my commute! Don't they know I need my morning donut!!! Bastards!
Oh! Oh! OH! OH! What's worse? Someone that gets on and goes down one floor and gets off! You lazy bastard! Take the friggin' stairs!
There...
...I can breathe now.
Carry on.
