and no I don't mean because of movies like Towering Inferno where everyone was burned to a crisp, or Earthquake where the elevator fell to the bottom and blood spattered everywhere, or even the fear it will be stuck between floors for days on end and I will be trapped with a pitbull. I mean it is really freaky when you get on an elevator and another person just stares at you.
Tonight I took a trip over to A Tower to work out in a strata complex gym. I live in one of three towers and I have to take an elevator to get there. On the way back when I was all sweaty and red faced, I got on the elevator in my tower only to find it occupied by a fat guy with an earring wearing a tuque. Now people have to remember I live on the west coast of Canada where tuques usually aren't necessary AND it was 11 celcius today, so not cold in the least. Anyway, he was standing at a 90 degree angle to the door and right at me as I got on. I could tell right away he was not going to look away. In fact, he stared at me the entire six floors we rode together.
I put the towel over my face to stop him from seeing I was laughing at the way he was staring at me.
Memo to elevator riders, PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE TO BE STARED AT IN ENCLOSED SPACES. It freaks the crap out of us.
Next time you are on an elevator, look forward, at the ground, ceiling or whereaver but NOT at another person.
