minsan, pa-akyat ako sa Rufino towers, nakow, ng pindutin ko na ang 38, may kulangot... grabe! mamasa-masa pa... maghapon akong di nakakain..

yuck bro!

kwento ko naman kagaguhan namin nung barkada ko regarding elevators. yung condo kasi nila may dedicated na channel sa tv na naka-direct sa lobby yung camera para malaman kung sino yung bisita. syempre, kita dun yung desk nung guard. one time, nag-sleep over kami. nilipat namin sa lobby camera yung channel eh nakita namaing tulog yung guard, so ginawa namin pinress namin yung "G" then sabay takbo sa room to see what will happen. then, "TING!" nakampuch, biglang tayo nung guard parang sundalo. then nung nakitang walang tao, after 3 mins ata, eto na naman si manong, tulog ulit. inulit-ulit namin and then ganun ulit. tawanan talaga kami. inulit namin four times then nung fifth na, after nya magising, kita namin kinuha yung radio niya and may kinausap. dun lang kami tumigil.

People who take the elevator just to go up or down 1 floor. Lazy bastards! They should take the stairs.

Sa RCBC di pwede mag stairs.

Sorry to say. But, I've been guilty of that before. I can't help it. But I seem to get the urge at the least desireable times like elevators and when I was in college, standing room only inside a St Rafael bus with beautiful chicks sitting down next to me. I was so embarrased even though the first person to catch a whiff would be several seats downwind......... Must be because of the bus jostling my stomach after eating arroz caldo and "pis bol" at the eateries across Manila City hall (near Mapua)

Oh yea. I was an arroz caldo and fishball junkie back then.

Edit: I remember the St. Rafael bus incident well because there was a bunch of pissed off frat guys near the back who caught my full whiff...... I had to keep keep a poker face because they might see it was me. But, I normally grin like an idiot after passing gas and suppressing it just made more gas.

in china some people spit inside the elevator, ew! yuck

Would you believe those in China do more than spit inside the elevator. They defecate and urinate right inside. This is not first hand experience but rather I read it from the Wall Street Journal or Time.

Sa Singapore, meyron urine detector mga elevator nila... once detected, the levator will reverse it's direction (if going up), goes down to Main Floor with the door closed, an alarm in the Security Office will trigger indicating somebody urinated inside the elevator. only the Secuirty officer can open the door and "bang", shoot the passenger inside...he...he...

2. People who take "round trips". Kapag pupunta ako sa basement level, yung ibang tao sa ground floor eh sasakay na. Kapag pababa naman at rush hour (lunchtime or uwian), yung iba sumasakay na paakyat pa lang ng elevator... so puno na siya pagbaba. Both instances causes delays.

When you are in a hurry and it's difficult to get a ride on your floor, "round trip" is the next logical thing to do. Of course, there's no way of telling if people are in a hurry or not.

3. People who hog the space near the floor selector buttons. Andaming ganito! Parang yun ang fave spot. Kapag ako ang napwesto malapit dun, I leave a 1 foot space so that people can easily press their desired floor. Yung iba naman kapag nakita ung 1 foot gap na yun eh pumipilit na sumingit pa. Sheesh.

Sometimes, every precious space should be maximized especially if the elevator ride is a prime commodity. It's inefficient to let each passenger press their own floor. If you end up as the guy directly infront of the buttons, press the buttons in behalf of the other passengers. Or if you are far away from the button, just say "7th Floor, please.".
