I thought I'd be able to get in and log in to work on time. You know how just when you're rushing to meet a deadline, stupid coincidences keep popping in and causing delays and frustration all around? Of course, those things will happen.
So. Elevator. I saw one of the open lift doors about to close and was walking towards it when this ditzy girl decided to block my way. I audibly exclaimed my annoyance at her; she and her companions glared at me.
Then another lift door opened and I got it. Of course, just when the door is about to close, other people will come rushing in and try to get inside (delaying everybody else who are already in the car).
This is where it gets infinitely more frustrating.
Just when the door was finally closing, a man inside the car decided he didn't want to take the lift and went out. I pressed the Door Close button.
His companion decided to get out as well, lingered by the door for a few seconds, shouting at the former to get back in before decided to get out again. I pressed the Door Close button again.
Another woman then came and got in the car. I pressed the Door Close button yet again -- nevermind that doing so won't make the lift door close any faster.
And then the last woman who got in decided that she too did not need to take the elevator yet and decided to get out just as the doors were closing. By this time, I was so pissed I groaned "Oh fuck!" for everyone to hear. (I'm probably notorious among the building tenants for often swearing at the ground floor elevators.)
In fairness to her, that last woman was apologetic after she heard me swear, muttering "sorry sorry sorry" when she got out. On another night, I'd accept her apology; but not tonight. I was a minute late because of her.
