worst elevator ride ever

*ding*

The doors open to the slowest elevator imaginable. We step inside along with a few other people. After a few seconds, the doors still haven't closed. I reach for the "close door" button and hit it. *rrrring*

Oops. There is no close door button, and I've just hit the alarm button. The doors close and the elevator begins to ascend.

After a few seconds, I hear a barely audible voice saying something. I strain my ears and look up at the ceiling where it sounds like it's coming from. "Are you ok? Are you ok?" I realize it's the security person responding to the alarm being hit. "We're fine!" I yell. Since nobody else seemed to have heard the voice, my spontaneous outburst catches everyone by surprise.

*ding* The doors open onto our floor and I quickly step out to avoid any further embarrassment.

hearing voices Jeff? Not a good sign!

If YOU even say you "yelled," I can only imagine the looks of surprise on the peoples' faces in response to their first unexpected taste of the infamous MV.

one time i was on an elevator with this old dude. he was kind enough to leave a fart behind as he stepped off and the doors closed.
