Elevator going down... stops at 18th floor. Person slowly walks in, presses "17" and everyone in the elevator groans silently. Me? Of course I have to be professional and just ignore though sometimes I have that "anak ng..." yamot look.
The delay isn't really that long. I timed it one time (ganun ako ka bored sa elevator) and it only took around 25 seconds which is the same time it takes me to go to the pantry or walk to the mail bin and back or think up of an excuse how come some features are not working in our application. It's really more on the momemtum stopper... the "delayed feeling". Look, the scene here is is slowing down to 18th, stopping, door opening, person entering, door closing, going down, stopping again, door opening, person leaving then door closing before finally going again. Sometimes this is even compounded by people going down from 17th to 16th. (By the way, the same applies going up.) See, even reading the whole process is such a pain.
...and is it me or does the door pause an extra second or two (or three) after the person just stepped off the elevator? Tapos hihirit pa ata ng "Sorry, to keep you waiting"
Haayyy, you guys are fit naman e. Use the stairs!
...and take a bath for crying out loud.
