Press The Button, Wait For The Comeback
(This happens inside an upscale supermarket attached to an assisted care facility. I am waiting for the elevator on my way to the coffee shop on the second floor.)
Old Woman: “You don’t live here, do you?”
Me: “No, ma’am.”
Old Woman: “The stairs are right over there.”
Me: “So I noticed.”
Old Woman: “So, why aren’t you taking them?”
Me: “Because I don’t feel like it.”
Old Woman: “These elevators are for the people who really need them!”
Me: “I’m awaiting hip-replacement surgery. Is that needy enough for you? By the way, are these your elevators?”
Old Woman: “Well, no…”
Me: “GOOD!”
(I get on the elevator, push the button, and say, as the doors are closing…)
Me: “This one is mine! Yours will be along in a second. Bye!”
