I promise I wasn't smoking Mum

The office that I work in has 22 floors and there are two times of the day when these elevators are in constant demand - Office Rush Hour. At these times the lifts will basically stop on every single floor on the way up and on the way down. It is incredibly frustrating and when all I want to do is leave the building I can feel my blood pressure climbing higher and higher at every single floor. And I only have 10 to go down, imagine being on the 22nd floor!

The elevators are the most quiet place in the whole building. Sometimes I wish that I could stop one between floors, drag my desk into it and work from there - but that wouldn't really be practical on so many levels would it? (haha I amuse myself)

So last night I got into a completely packed elevator on my floor and prepared myself for the long descent.

Now has anyone ever noticed how no one speaks in an elevator? You just stare at the screen displaying which floor we are arriving at or passing. Now I don't know why but I found this highly amusing last night.

Finds her spot in the elevator by jamming a couple of smaller people with her elbows

Spots a colleague at the far end of the elevator and waves politely; neither of us actually speak to one another

Miss M decides to look around the rest of the elevator

Miss M realises that EVERYONE is staring at the little screen except her

Miss M starts to giggle

Floor 9

Miss M starts to giggle louder

Floor 7

Miss M has almost reached a point of hysterics

Floor 5

Miss M actually has tears running down her cheeks with the effort of trying not to laugh any harder

I have never seen people depart an elevator so fast in their life nor with such scared expressions on their faces.

And I still have no idea what I found so funny.
