New Rule!

I've come up with a new rule that needs to be implemented immediately. There are certain un-written rules in this life, some of which for example are: "look both ways before crossing the street," "stop, drop and roll if you're on fire" and "fire only when fired upon if you're in a Top Gun style dogfight (in no particular order of importance). My new suggested rule: "When waiting for an elevator in a lobby, count to THREE before charging the door once the doors open." I can't tell you how many times I've been on an elevator going down to a lobby lately and the SECOND the doors open, someone on the other side waiting to get in and go up RUSHES the door and practically head-butts me in the face. WAIT A SECOND asshole, did you ever think that someone else mighhhhhtttt possibly be on the other side of that door about to walk OFF the 'vator? I swear some people barely let the door crack itself open before they're shoving their nose through the opening to get inside. Where's the fire? If there is one, I expect you to be stopping, dropping and rolling as previously mentioned.

Running into me while my hands are full of groceries, or even when my hands are completely empty for that matter, is not okay. One... two... three... enter. It's that simple. What's humorous (but not at all humorous) is how THAT person always acts put out that they almost ran into YOU. It's like me running over your foot in my car and then being exasperated that it was in my way. Oh well shit, I'm sorry for inconveniencing your mad dash into the elevator by standing still and minding my own business. My reflex is always to say "sorry" when that happens, too. Which is something that I'm working on NOT saying as much anymore in general where it isn't necessary. Let's face it, I'm NOT sorry you're fatass and can't wait to get upstairs to eat ice cream. I'm just not.

So let's put the new rule into action.. now.
