The Lights Are On But Nobody’s Home




First and only rule – if you push the button and the light comes on there’s no need to keep pushing it. The lift will not coming any quicker and the crossing man will not turn green any sooner.

To me, this seems a pretty simple rule to follow but some people just aren’t able to follow it. They’ll push the button continuously until the lift arrives in the mistaken belief that the multiple button pushing has somehow altered the timing mechanism and made it arrive sooner. The worse are those people who will push the button right after someone else has already pushed it. It’s if they think the gods have empowered them with some special power that makes them the only one in the universe who can make the red man turn green. That’s a pretty crappy power if you ask me. Me?, I’d rather have retractable metal claws or laser vision.
