No matter how many times you push it!
You stand there for what feels like forever, furiously pressing your finger against a round piece of plastic.
- You press once, then twice and so on…
- The speed picks up as your frustration grows…
- Pretty soon your hand is smoking!
- You may even smash your fist against both buttons!

Nothing helps, of course. Nor does the eventual realization the button actually works, but the light is burnt out!
And that’s not all.
Hook! You’re back! I am glad you are up to telling your tales of all the stupid people! Hey wait a minute. I think I have done that too…..
You’re far from stupid, Susie! And I’m not quite back; it’s taking all my energy reserves to do this little bit of blogging! So I’m out! See you soon!
I accept that doesn’t work, but it’s an excellent stress release!
Agreed…
Welcome back my friend . Feeling better?
Not quite, but I’m on the road to recovery!
Hey great one.
I liked the ending. I could sense your frustration.
Thanks, my friend.
Glad to see you are feeling slightly better Hook, I am so glad that you are back! Keep on eating that chicken soup that your wife made and taking that Vitamin C and you will be back to your old self in no time at all!
Let’s hope so! This is no fun at all…
You crack me up!!!! I love this one!!!!
Good to hear!
Guaranteed bad start to the day, lol!
Get well over the weekend, Hook. Or are you playing ‘hookey’?
I’m having no fun at all, if that’s what you’re asking!
This week at the doctor’s office, the floor button didn’t light and then when the elevator moved it made the worst racket! I was not just a little nervous. I took the other elevator back down after my appointment.
As we always say, technology rocks, right?
lol! You are good for my abs. You keep me laughing. THANKS for sharing pieces of your daily grind with us… We’re fitter because of it.
…well, I AM. (-:
It works both ways, my friend.
Ha! I love the light-is-out twist. Totally didn’t see that coming.
Glad to hear it!
👍👍
Thanks for the visit, Drew!
Funny stuff Mr. Hook!
The other favorite for me with elevator buttons and cross walk buttons. You press it and then the guy standing next to you must also press the button as if you have not pushed it properly the first go round.
I hate that! Good one to bring up!
Glad to see you are over the flu – given me a real “lift” in fact….
Great! I feel better knowing I was missed!
someone should really look into inventing Star-Trek-style turbolifts. then you just say “floor six” or whatever and away you go, without any worries over button-pushing.
I’m with you on that!
