Stupid elevators and date possibilites
For some odd reason, my internet is moving really slowly today. Thus, in the numerous attempts to reach my blog today, I forgot what I was going to say.
so here's the next best thing.
Yesterday, as Brian and I were going to breakfast, we jump on the elevator and head down to the first floor. But as the elevator hits floor one, it makes this weird ka-CHunk sound and kind of jerks up and down. Brian and I look at each other and then at the door, which opens about 6 inches and then stops. As we peer out of the elevator, it became rapidly apparent that the elevator was about a foot and a half above the floor. So what would YOU do in a situation like that? Brian and I grab a hold of the doors and start pulling with all our might and a guy in the lobby started prying on the other side and then a voice comes out of nowhere and says "Hey, you don't have anyauthority to force those doors open." My first reaction was to say "Oh, RIGHT! I forgot, we hafta be REALLY stuck in order to have any authority to get out of here!" but I was foiled in my clever comeback joke by the fact that I didn't know where the voice had come from. From the look on the guy-in-the-lobby's face, we could tell the voice hadn't come from there, and Brian and I were pretty alone in that elevator (besides, who uses phrases like "you don't have any authority" when telling college kids who happen to be stuck in an elevator to calm down?!). The voice spoke again and said "I'll have you out in a second, I'm up here working on the elevator."
Conclusions:
We either have
a) a hobo living in our dorms in the elevator shaft
b) maintenance guys who enjoy repairing elevators while people still RIDE Them
c) a quick access panel to the elevator shaft that can be accessed quickly by janitors who make weird gospel-themed remarks about being stuck in an elevator
The first two are kind of worrisome to me, but the last one has a lot of untapped possibilites. I mean, think about it, we could just pop on top of an elevator and say crazy stuff and freak out people during visiting hours. It sounds like a date just waiting to happen. At any rate, I've gotta stop doing awkward and embarrassing things in the elevators. There might be maintenance guys or hobos up there.
