This is why I carry a large blunt object; to knock some sense into the idiots of the world.

So, what do you do when you enter an elevator and ALL the buttons are pushed? Then, at one of the floors you now must stop on, someone else gets on and looks at you like YOU pushed all the buttons?

This happens to me all the time.

Ok, so maybe ONCE I pushed all the buttons…

I can’t believe you didn’t proceed to push every button between the first and seventh floors! Have you learned nothing from me? You’ll know better next time.

Pauly, I’m sure you’re used to hearing that last line quite frequently in your day to day adventures.

Surely a nice slap in the face would have put things into perspective for her? And, assuming you didn’t grab her phone and dial 911 yourself, she’d also have an opportunity to press her own mobile phone buttons. It’s a win-win situation!

No? Is that not a direct path from A to B? Hmm.

I just get the sense she’s a lights-off, think-of-the-queen kinda gal.

This is metaphorical isn’t it? She has just come out of a stifling relationship. Her therapist suggested she start to take control of the direction of her life. She is apprehensive about entering the confines of the elevator as it represents re-entering life and having a man there pushing her floor is akin to all the men in her life dictating how she will live. As instructed, she sought to assert her independence and pick her own destination but you disregarded her opinion, in fact you completely cut her off rather dismissively. This angered her and she lashed out through you at all the men who have brought her to this point. She instantly has come to the realization that she is still weak.

You sir, have destroyed 3 months of intensive therapy.

Either that of she is a very angry feminist.

Stacey - Were you riding the elevator with the four year olds? And if so, who lets four year olds press buttons on elevators? As we very well know from TV, four year olds like to press EVERY SINGLE BUTTON at once.

K - I don’t know how you got from point A to point B, but I like the way you think.

I’m betting OCD. And also she’s no good in bed.

I witnessed a similar exchange, except it involved four year olds.
