No, they were still out in the reception area.
Your man was a dick, I met one of the other HR girls out that night and she was laughing at it all, she said your man was seething.
nothing worse than seen plebs waiting for a lift to go up one floor… 99% of the time you will walk it quicker unless the lift is on the ground floor to start with if only going up one floor…
one lad i used to go to college with would press the button of the lift when heading out for a fag in the hope it would still be there when he finished said fag…
the amount of people who will just press the up and down buttons when waiting on a lift and get in regardless of the direction it is going is unreal…
I’m in the lift going up to the 3rd floor. The lift stops on 2 and some bird (who can see the arrow pointing up and the 3rd floor button lit up) asks “up or down?” as she’s standing with one foot in the lift.
“Up” i say.
She says “Oh sorry, i’m going down”. Then she pauses and says “Ah sure I’ll jump in anyway”.
Why you silly bitch? There’s 3 other lifts, wait for one of them. Just as the doors are closing I hear the bell for one of the other lifts arriving at the floor, most likely heading down although that would be assuming she pressed the down button which might be giving her too much credit.
The building I work in has a strange lift set-up. There is a keypad outside the lifts, where you press the floor you want. It then tells you which lift (A, B or C) will come for you. There is then no numbers to press inside the lift. Apparently when the building first went up, some dozy cow didn’t understand the system and got into an empty lift on the ground floor without pressing a button outside. She then got confused when she didn’t see any numbers inside the lift and thought it might be voice activated so started shouting out ‘Two’ inside the lift. Needless to say, she was a consultant.

I was only in that hotel last weekend… they do enjoy their quirky literature in their lifts… walls very thin in the rooms. Some Brazilian cunt next door kept me awake skyping home at 4 in the morn one night… I sorted him good and proper tho… I sent front desk up to him :oops:
The two-person example looks a bit off to me.
I’m not sure about #5. I think I’d gravitate towards a wall instead of taking the centre spot.

I’d bet good money most people didn’t expect the end of that sentence when reading the first few words
you’ve a clear exit tho and can move forward to the door upon drawing close to your floor and the other fuckers know what’s what and who is who… nothing like that awkward shuffle out of a lift when there’s a few on board.
@Rocko I take it you are over ?? If you haven’t been the Brick lane market is 5 minutes from your door and i’m not sure what your appetite is like post op, but the world street foods on offer is unrale… If you’ve been please give me an ‘old’ rating and we can all move on.
Not on the capel st environs is it?
Anyway, what bugs the shite out of me is people chatting at the lift doors and keep opening the doors which, in our place invariably sets off the lift deadman switch. Utter cunts
I’m not mate. I saw it on twitter.
That’s taken the wind right out of my sails.
Nope.
Yeah, the rule of thumb is the exact same as a dice for all numbers except three, where three corners are used instead of the three-in-a-line on the diagonal.
My favoured position would be right corner back. Getting stuck in the middle is traumatising
Whenever somebody gets in a lift I’m already in, I always ask them what floor they are going to and then press the button for them. It always seems to be appreciated and women, especially, seem to visibly relax and lose the intimidated appearance of just seconds before.
That’s when I strike.
