Currently Pissing Me Off
The really tall man who consistently steps in the elevator with me and then stands in the front left corner, effectively blocking the television screen.
All I get to do on the ride up to work is stare at the back of his head and wonder what the headlines for the day are saying and how stock prices are doing and which celebrity had their baby. It's all in my imagination since I can't actually see anything because he's standing in my way THE ENTIRE TIME. I think tomorrow when he moves to step inside the elevator, I'm going to elbow him in the gut and dump his coffee on his head. I think that should send a message that says, "I want to watch elevator TV too, you ignorant tall person and also? I hate you."

Now, now, Laura...your dad is tall, too. Would you dump coffee on HIS head if he was blocking your view?
I don't even know what to say to that.
Hi Aunt Rita!
Dad would never block my view! He would politely step to the BACK of the elevator, owning his tallness and allowing everyone to view the television screen.
Or, yeah, he would stand there, read the headlines and be all, "OH MY GAWD, CAN YOU BELIEVE DA GAS PRICES?"
There is a certain code of conduct that comes with being tall, and this guy is just not following it. I say you move forward with your plan of dumping coffee on his head.
Well, didn't this post add a few fun comments? Tall code of conduct? Man, I would give ANYTHING to be tall enough to have to adopt a code of conduct. Does that mean there is a short person code of conduct?
Hi, Deanna! I am thinking of you often.
Anyway, Dad would be clueless about blocking someone's view BUT would be soooo courteous once it was pointed out to him. He would be like, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even see you there." Which would then be an unintentional swipe at the other person's vertically challenged stature.
*sigh* such deep problems. And, no, James, there will be no dumping of coffee on people's heads. They will sue McDonald's...AGAIN!
I apologize for encouraging Laura to physically assault "the really tall man" with a cup of scalding hot coffee. I personally love McDonald's, and would hate to see them back in court.
I'm really only familiar with the tall person code of conduct, but I would assume there would be a separate code for shorter individuals. It would probably include things like...sitting in the back seat of the car while driving with taller individuals. They, short people, should also speak loudly so their voices will be heard by everyone, and not just other short people. It would also be helpful if they wore brightly colored clothing, this would make them much easier to spot, thus reducing the chances of someone stepping on them.
You know, James, as soon as I get a stool, I will stand on it to bop you in the nose!
Very funny take on short people. LOL!
Elevator TV? I think that he was doing you a favor!
I just started working in a building where there is elevator tv - one of my coworkers asked me if I caught a bit of trivia on "Captivate." I said "huh?" I guess it is now a common thread for discussion among coworkers... do I really have to watch it?
Seriously, though - happy to trade jelly & jam - I think Deanna and I were talking about a possible trade... white peach jelly & jam came out great! The lemon chutney is almost black in color but delicious (something to do with citrus, sugar and metallic pan??).
