Why is it....

That everytime I get on an elevator after a Korean child gets off it, I notice he pushed every button, always making me late?

The world may never know Crying or Very sad ....

It's because they are so excited about going to English class that they forget which floor they need to get off at. Pressing all the buttons ensures they don't miss their floor which they will recognise once they see it. Very Happy

So will an English person. Well, this one anyway. Then you get to race the elevators. Sometimes the one further away will catch the nearer one as it stops on more floors. It's terribly fun. Racing the lifts is the 3rd most exciting thing I do on a daily basis. I always want the left hand one to win though, as it stops on my floor. (each elevator only stops on every other floor in my building).

There are two elevators at my school. For crowd control, one goes to only 4, 5, and 6. For reasons beyond comprehension, people on 4, 5, and 6 never take the damn thing. They're always using the other elevator, and then when you actually get to use it, they look at you like they're pissed off that you're using their elevator! JEBUS!!!
