You know what I mean. You open up the big old door and all you can see is stuff. Boxes, maybe some old rusty golf clubs, a rusty bike, a gas cylinder, a few bags of hard cement, a small freezer, a spare tyre from your previous car, some football boots with the mud still on them from a game you played in 2001.
What the heck. I mean the obvious thing to do is to get behind the wheel and plough on in there. Right?
Of course not.
So why is it (this could be a tenuous link.. give it a chance) that so many people insist on trying to burst right into a lift (elevator) at the shopping centre when the people who are already in there are trying to get out of the lift?
Did I miss something here? Surely if Archimedes was around nowadays he'd have come up with some spin on his displacement principle:
"The amount of people displaced when a group of people enters a lift... " etc.
Come on. Let the people out before you get in.
Maybe I should invent a device to play back one of those Robocop voice-overs when lift doors open."This is a warning. Step back immediately and allow passengers to vacate the lift. Failure to comply will be punished severely"
After the lift had "dealt with" a few transgressors I'm sure I wouldn't have to re-enact a scene from a six-nations rugby match every time I try to get out of the lift.
