Elevators

i hate them. what else do you want me to say about it. i work in a small hospital. maybe a 100 yards long and 4 stories. that is all. 4 lousy stories. remember, i am in the military. keep that in mind as you read. I only take the elevator when I am going from the first floor to the 4th floor. even then...i shouldn't. regardless, i do and yes, I take it down from the 4th floor to the 1st floor. perhaps even lazier. until recently.... two days in a row i got in the elevator to ride down from 4 to 1. on multiple occasions individuals got on and rode the elevator down one floor. yes, ONE FLOOR. we are talking 12 steps. the stair case, all three of them or easily accessible. they don't hide from you. but one floor. it struck a nerve when i stopped at floor 2, after stopping at 3 for someone to get on and ride down to floor 1. oh yes, this person...one of my combat airborne medics. seriously? no really, seriously? so tomorrow he is going to ride the elevator for a good portion of the morning acting as the elevator guy, "what floor?" and push buttons. and when they ask why, he will tell them, "because i am lazy?" one floor, are we really that lazy now?
