Well, I've been on this job now for over 6 months.
I'm developing a pet peeve that I cannot control. A totally, irrational pet peeve,
I work on the 10th floor of the building. The "cafeteria" (or what's left of it) is in the basement.
Going from the 10th floor to basement in an elevator non-stop is damn near impossible. People have the audacity to actually call for an elevator on another floor and ride until still another floor, delaying me in my daily travels. Don't they know I'm hungry? Don't they know that their travels are delaying me in mine?
The ones I hate the most? The ones that take elevator ONE FLOOR. Ever hear of The Stairs???
Oh, I like the new thing that I'm starting to see - groups of people that interrupt your travel by calling your elevator to their floor. And then - because they're gabbing - take their precious little time getting in to the elevator, punch a button for still another floor to again interrupt your journey, continue on in their conversation, and then, when arriving on their destination floor, continue talking - not moving - as the doors open, and start to close again.
I know, I know... I'm being irrational... but when you travel only top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, any other stops at all delay you. And the stupidest things about it? 1) You have no control about it 2) you're a friggin' nobody, just like any other numnutz in the building and who the hell are you to be so put out because others use your elevator? (yeah, there are 5 elevators that could be used and the rumor has it that there are no engineers in the building that still know how to program the elevators - which is why most of the elevators return - not to the 1st floor, but to the 10th floor where a prior occupant had their executive offices).
Just another pet peeve that I must learn to deal with.
