Here's a big-city encounter that has nothing to do with Muni. I was frantically rushing to get to my doctor's appointment yesterday. I had to wake my kiddo up from her nap, which I hate doing. I must have had some good karma coming, because I found parking on the street which is damn near impossible. So, I was running (at 8 months pregnant), carrying my sleepy daughter and hopped into the first open elevator. A few seconds later I realized this elevator only goes to the parking garage. I waited till it dropped off the first set of peeps, then I hit the "lobby" button.
Stranger #1 (screaming), "NOOOO!! Don't do that!!!!"
Stranger #2, "Dammit! Shit!" while pushing the P1 button furiously.
Wha? What the heck did I do? I pushed a button in an elevator? #2 quickly apologized and went on to explain that they had been "stuck" in the elevator for a while now because it wouldn't go to P1. I was tempted to reply that the stairs would easily take them down the one flight, thus eliminating their need to totally freak out on pregnant strangers with babies. Instead, I just said, "whatever".
