A Minor Pet Peeve or I had a Neith Moment
Yes, I did.
I was on the elevator going home this morning after a semi-long shift and two people got on with me. Not on my floor, but as I’m in descent down the elevator shaft toward the D level. On the 1st floor, a doctor got on and hits the D button. Um…you might have an MD, but you must not have noticed I had already pushed the button. (None of that was said out loud, only in my head – along with this) – Or is it because of your MD, you think I wasn’t qualified to push the D level button correctly?
The elevator stopped on A. A resident got on. Pushed the D button. (Which is still lit by the way!) And we start on our way down to the D level without further interruption. However, all the while in my head I’m hearing my inner monologe screaming, “Did you really have to hit that damn button again? It was already lit, jackass. It doesn’t make it more offical just because you hit it.” – In elevators it only takes one time to hit the button to get to your floor. If you get on an elevator and the button is lit, it releaves you of the duty of having to hit it yourself. Score! Leave it be. That poor little button didn’t do anything to you. Stop poking it. What do you think it is, a scab? Leave off.
Sheesh.
Sorry. It just had to be said. You may all return to your regularly scheduled day.

Hahahahahaha.
On the one hand – um, sorry you channeled me.
On the other… yeah. I’m pretty sure studies show that pushing the button again does not make it get there any faster. Especially since we stopped to pick up your sorry butt.
