Elevator Story

This morning I bumped into Brittany, a friend in HR, in the lobby of the building. We were both kind of late for work as it was almost 8 o'clock. I told her that the elevator sitting at the basement was not coming up but the lift at the 7th floor was coming down, what a waste of time! So finally the elevator finally came and as a gentleman..."ladies first" so I made the gesture but she was like "no, you go" and I'm like "no" but fearing that the elevator door would soon close, I began to walk into the elevator...so jokingly she says "'no'...as he walks into the elevator" and when we both got into the elevator, I told her jokingly "well, it's like when you say "oh, you shouldn't have" and take the gift"...with all the joking around, we forgot to choose the floor and we stood there wondering why we weren't moving until we noticed that we had both forgotten...so we were already kind of late...the lift system is inefficient...we joke around and forget to hit the button...I ended by saying "well I have the BUS to blame!" and she's like "um...I drive so I have traffic to blame!"
