ever notice how people...

1. Repeatedly press the button to call the lift, till
a. The button falls off
b. Lift arrives

2. Refuse to move to the back of the lift when new people enter it
a. Gaze at the ceiling till people stop expecting them to move back
b. Shuffle one step to the right and one to the left and pretend to have helped the situation

3. Want to be the first to get into a lift and the last to get off it

4. Fight for a place to sit in a crowded train, but love to stand at the door when there are enough available seats

5. Overtake slower people while walking, only to slow down once ahead

6. Show-off their escalator-riding-perfection (complete with chin high and hand on hip) when a first-timer is struggling to climb on

7. As the number of floors a lift stops at increases, so does the probability of a person referring to it as a "passenger train". Even though he/she has probably never been on a passenger train for year (if ever).

The probability of other people actually finding this funny is directly proportional to the probability of that person being their boss.

  3. Excellent observations. Here's another one, it's kind of a probability law..
