Just as you hear the music in Jaws and know the shark is coming, when the elevator arrives with a buzzing noise, you should realize that the ride you are in for is not the one you expected.
But noooooooo! The elevator arrives buzzing away and we get on. (just like the dumb teenagers in a horror movie) The door shakes shut and new warning bells go off - the car bumps and then jumps, up and down but we never leave the 1st floor. That's the good news. The bad news is that the door is stuck and we can't open it to get off. After a minute or two of the jump/bump routine, we use the call button and talk to a service call operator who asks our names- what difference is it what our names are????Are they starting our obituary??? When we ask how long before someone will come and let us out, the operator replies "Oooooh, not too long!!!!!!"
Then Larry announces that he has to relieve himself immediately - can this get any worse? As we wait and bounce and wait some more - all of a sudden the elevator starts ascending and we stop at our floor. Sigh! It is resolved - NEVER TAKE THE ELEVATOR ON THE LEFT!
Bob and Larry leaving the right elevator !
Ohhhhh, I'm so glad it wasn't any worse!
