Elevator One Upped (again!)

I seem to keep blogging about things that happen in the elevator. Probably because it's a 45 second to 1 minute situation where you're completely captive with a stranger (or strangers) and strange they sometimes are!

Just now, I got one upped with my "have a nice day" comment, again! I posted previously about someone who I wished a good day to upon exiting the elevator and they responded with "have a GREAT day." Today, I told a man "have a nice afternoon" and I departed on my floor and he replied "have a GREAT afternoon." Not in that enthusiastic tone you might give when you truly want someone to have a great afternoon but rather in a "I can one up ya there, bucko. I'll see your GOOD afternoon and raise you a GREAT one" and then BAM, doors close, and I have no chance to respond with something clever like "oh yeah, well you have a fucking AWESOME afternoon, take that!"

Oh well, I'll be quicker on my feet next time!
