Close door people, we see you.
Don’t pretend you don’t know what we’re talking about. We see you duck into the elevator twenty steps before us in the lobby and tap-tap-tap that Close Door button so you can score a slightly faster ride. What, you think we don’t notice your attempts to avoid eye contact? Oh, we do, and we don’t like you for it, either.
No, the people we like are a different sort of people. They’re Open Door people. They’re the ones with the bruises on their forearms, tapping the Open button, and popping their head out to ask innocently “Going up?”
Why yes, we are going up. Why yes, we would love to share the lift with you. Why yes, we’ll smile and thank you for holding it. And why yes, we’ll keep it open when we see you coming the next time, too.
Now let’s all hug and chug-a-lug home.
AWESOME!
Oh my god… That photo is the best! What a gentleman! XD
I love that picture too!
I never really have occasion to use elevators in my daily life, but if I did, I’d love the OPEN DOOR people!
I hold the elevator. I’m nice like that. :-) But there are plenty of them in this building who would rather you wait another 5 mintues for the elevator to come back down than to wait for you.
Personally, I like riding the elevator alone… I sing :) I’ve considered bursting out into song while riding with other people, especially the really stiff corporate types. But I’ve never had the guts.
