An Honest Question

As you can tell from the very creative title, I have an honest question for all of you. For as long as I can remember I have wondered this to myself every single time I enter a building more than one story... Why the Hell doesn't the elevator door close button ever work?!?!?!






Seriously. Is it a frigging social experiment that has been going on for way too long or something? No matter where it is or not matter how big of a hurry I am in, I WILL hit that button multiple times. I will hit it multiple times and finally give up in disgust thinking to myself that one, just one, of these times it will close when I push that damn button. I actually did it today going to see my pap at his apartment building. Seriously, it never fails. Trust me, I have been in hundreds of buildings in my life and I do it every single time.

I would probably say that button has given me more stress in my life than most things. If I had to compare it to something, I would probably put it on par with, as outrageous as it sounds, having to bend over in the morning. Most of you have probably never thought about it before, but having to bend over in the morning is literally one of the worst feelings anyone could ever have. It's seriously terrible. Unfortunately in my 25 years of existence I have actually had to bend over quite a bit before 11am. It makes me want to punch an orphan square in the face. Seeing this symbol makes me want to do the same damn thing.




That symbol is in my worst nightmares. I wake up and my body is cold and drenched when I dream of it. It plays with every ounce of patience I have left. WHY DON'T YOU JUST WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK? Instead of that symbol, it should just have a picture of Satan laughing because that's all it really is, a tool to punish us for no damn reason.

Actually, the more I think about it, it's kind of comical. Maybe those are put in there as some sort of joke by the manufacturer. Anything is possible. But one of these days I will find an elevator that has a button that works. That is a freaking fact people. Actually... you know what, it just hit me. I'm just using the f'n stairs for now on. Screw it.
