Lift events


I am a person who like to ponder on certain daily stuff ....and one of those moments was about the lift elevator. Lift or elevator is a marvellous creation, isn't it? Imagine life without it on a day you need to move up things from ground to the fourth floor.  There will not really gonna be KLCC or KL Tower, if there is no lift. Or very limited numbers of "not-so lucky" people could appreciate the romantic view of Paris from the Eiffel tower.

Yet, like any other human creation, lift elevator do have it flaws. The "haunted" lift of UKMMC at the back, I was stranded in it several times for minutes either alone or with people inside. I watched a CCTV recording of a guy that nearly turned mad caused he was stucked in the lift during the moment he need to empty his bowel. He eventually had to do it in the lift, and stranded with no water and food for days. I am not that sure of the final event-but some said he was still alive, while most said he was found dead. On certain day, the elevator just not in the mood and decided not to work. On some day, the lift just too popular and overwork,and many will eventually decided to use the conventional stairs. And remember, the elevator is "prohibited" during the emergency evacuation.

Saying that, this usually squared or rectangle cubicle, had created memories to some. There are numerous stories of relationship blossomed or created while in the lift. "New Year's Eve" the recent movie early this year, showed us how Lea Michelle and Ashton Kutcher eventually an item by the end of the new years eve, thanks to the Mr Elevator. I read about a relationship evolved in an elevator between two married couples that used the same elevator, at nearly the same time of the day-and eventually leads to the spark of a new love, broken of marriages and eventually death of both of them, in the same elevator.I have none of those romantic or deadly moments as dramatic as that. But, I believed everybody have it shares of elevator moments.

My elevator moments are usually during when I was in it, alone. Some elevator are well, nicely decorated. The common events is the mirror wall. I am not that vain, but I guess when I was alone in that kind of elevator, I will eventually do check on  myself. I was caught on one event, looking at teeth reflection on on the lift door while flossing, and walla, I was smiling full teeth to an aunty outside the lift door.

How about singing or talking to yourself? And eventually again, the doors open, and that was your consultant. I never really singing that loud in the lift, but I did jingled and was caught by my specialist. Or even while waiting for the lift, too bored waiting with my nano, I did sometime hummed while making some minor dance moves, and again-caught in action.

My sisters just cannot help other than to take pictures on self-reflection on the lift. And it is also awkward when you had a conversation with your friends on the lift when there were only both of you, and at the other level, peoples entered, and you stopped talking, but your friends on the opposite side of the square, still wanting to continue with the conversation. Or, when you were arguing  on the phone and need to stepped in a lift full of people. Or at instances, cannot help to indulge with dirty jokes of others, or secrets of others in the lift. To be honest, nobody can help but to listen when you are in the closed small square moving cubicle.

Ohh, how about, you farted and it smelled terrible and then someone entered the lift and shared the same fragrance you just eventually sprayed from your butt. But I guess the one that I really missed and currently was eventually starting to be aware of, was the CCTVed elevator, which is a common thing as part of development. My sister had changed head scarfed while in elevator and eventually realised it was cctved. A male collegues shared a story that he was scratching everywhere and again then realised the lift was CCTVed. I surely do my routines in the lift, like tidying up my appearance in the morning, or eventually moving around to my nano, which currently I am limiting myself in the CCTVed lift.
 
I came across this video and I can relate on some of the lift events. I guess some or most of us will able to relate to some. Happy Saturday friends
