I could probably sue someone and make some money! In the morning I must ride a series of elevators to make it to my floor. It is a confusing process, but one that I have perfected without even having to look up from my phone, where I spend my normal elevator time playing Chess With Friends. This morning, however, I learned a valuable lesson. I learned that I cannot take elevator rides for granted anymore.
Like most people who ride the elevator, I expect it to stop at the correct floor when I push the desired button. And like most people, I expect the elevator to align perfectly with the floor I am arriving to. This morning, I was on my phone contemplating a killer move when the elevator door opened for my floor. Without looking I stepped off of the elevator and felt the unexpected 1 foot free fall that happens when the elevator stops 1 foot higher than the actual floor. Miraculously I did not throw my phone. But I did, however, fall to the ground completely discombobulated (is that a word?) by the craziness of the unexpected drop.
So what did I learn? Probably nothing. I just hope next time I do not break my leg.
