First Floor Elevator!

I had this cute story to share tonight. A small talk in a coffee shop about elevators.

A friend of mine going up the office, while inside the elevator she had this experience that catches my funny bones and caught my eyebrows!

She was about go up the elevator full of people, in a hurry catching up the morning time-in. Well, the characters, for the benefit of the story, were: my friend, two foreigners (probably Bolivians, as they have an embassy in our building), and 2ladies, lets call them lady 1 and lady 2. (others are not that significant, so etcetera). . .

As everyone press the floor of their destination, and the elevator's engines hum and starts to lift from the ground floor, then. . . ding!

It opens in 1st floor. . .

lady 1 exits, sipping her coffee. . .

Then the foreigner groans, and expresses his disbelief.

Foreigner 1: "why not used the stairs if your just a floor away and save time for others? it's just a floor away?"

Foreigner 2: "well, your in the Philippines, people are in laissez faire mood, and can't expect much, they are ladies which are treated with all gentleness."

Then the door closes and the elevator lifts up again. . .

Foreigner 1: "Errrr. . .but it must not supposed to be that way, we should do. . . "

. . . Ding! the elevator stops at the 2nd floor.

Foreigner 2: "I told you mate. . ."

then lady 2 exits. . .

then my friend smiles, she's next.


. . . ding!
