I just went out for a little while to take care of something, and I come back, but I didn't feel like walking up the steps, so I decided I'd take the elevator. I go to push the button, and it's already been pushed. There's this random old guy standing around, talking to the desk attendant who checks ID when you enter the building; I figured he was just there. It occurred to me that *maybe* he had pushed the button, but he was standing like ten feet away from the damned elevator, so how was I supposed to know? I stood near it, where a normal person might wait for an elevator, and when it came, I heard him say he was going upstairs, but made my way in anyway, in front of him, because, well, I was standing closer to the door. He was the one all far away. So I walk in, and he tries to get in front of me, as if it matters who gets in the elevator first? It's big. There were only two of us. And as far as it seemed apparent, he wasn't waiting for it anyway. I get in before him, and reach out to push the button for my floor. He gets all snippy and goes "do you MIND? THANK YOU." Struck me as one of those cases where he was like "ugh, a disrespecting CHILD." That's what you get when you live in a building with college students. "Children." Oh, heaven help the snippy old man.
EVERY time I return from AIM idle, my mother IMs me and asks me where I am, what I'm doing. UGH.
