Ultimate Slow Chargers
Okay - I just tried to use "search this blog" to find something I had written about "hard chargers". Hard Chargers are the people that dive into the elevator the nano-second the doors open - they will run you over as you try to get out - they are moronic fuckwits. Anyway, I searched for "charger", then "hard" then "hard charger" - all of them had no results. So to make sure it was working I searched for "fuck" (that should have generated about 600 hits). Again zero - either I am a dumb ass user or its busted. Anyway - the definition of hard charger is above. You would think that the opposite of a hard charger would be a soft charger - but it's a slow charger (I am not sure why). A slow charger is someone that is so god damn indecisive that they miss their floor etc.
So at my office there is a bank of 3 elevators. At any given time there are usually 2 working. But today we are down to 1 elevator (the other 2 are broken or sleeping or something). So after lunch there is a huge queue of people waiting to go UP in the elevator. *Everyone* knows that we have one elevator - so fortunately the first 15 people pack into the elevator (after 15 people filed out).
I am now 3rd in line. I am behind 2 Asian women (I am not sure which denomination of Asian they are - but they are speaking that language). There is still a big queue behind me - and we are all waiting for the elevator which is taking *forever*. (Note there are no stairs - other than emergency stairs - so this is the only option). *Finally* the elevator arrives. About 15 people pile out and have to weave through the 15 people waiting to get on. The 15th person gets out and the 2 Asian girls move so slowly that... THE FUCKING DOORS CLOSE!! I am not kidding - with about 6 inches of daylight they both panic - one of them contimplates sticking an arm in there - and in the worst relfex move I have **EVER** seen the other girl attempts to find and hit the UP button. The doors close and the elevator heads off for another 10 minute round trip. Everyone is totally pissed. I say (loudly), "That did not go well." The girl behind me goes, "If I wasn't holding soup I would have dove in there." Holy shit slow chargers - I will kill you.

It would've been awesome if the lady with the soup had actually thrown her soup on them.
Goddammit I hate slow chargers. At least hard chargers have their mind made up. They're a-holes, but dammit they know where they want to go. I would much rather miss an elevator because I was pushed to the ground by a hard charger than because someone couldn't get on the fucking elevator fast enough because 'oooh it's a newfangled machine. we are scared of the people carrier that flies through the sky'. Dammit now I'm all pissed.

holy effing greatest slow charge of the century! I work with you and as I read your post I was thinking c'mon man there HAS to be stairs. Sadly even though I know that there aren't I know that everyone who reads this will just think you said that for effect.

Seriously, people, there are NO stairs. I swear to you.

I was also going to suggest the stairs, but wouldn't there have to be stairs in case of an emergency when the elevators weren't in use?
Gotta admit, I prefer the hard chargers, too. I agree with Sarah on that one.
What about people who are afraid of escalators? Ever see them? Take the damn stairs already.

They would have lost their place at the head of the line. Immediately. That's in the rules and like the transporter says. Rules are Rules!

They should be burned in effigy!

Christ, I've missed visiting your blog. I need a new surf system.
What floor do you work on? Cuz I'm thinking those two slow chargers might have been best served with a toss out the nearest freaking window at that point. Wouldn't get the elevator there any faster, but imagine the great conversation that could have taken place amongst the waiters.
