Later I was thinking something that needs mentioning once in awhile and that is that I love your blog because you very consistently tell the best stories and write really really well. Bestestly! I’m really sorry, however, that this one is true.

I have never heard of a system like this but my first thought was “this is never going to work”. What happens if you need to go to a different floor during the day? Do you have to go back to the lobby first? Can you get a photo of the kiosk? At least the building is bonding over the pain.

That is the oddest thing I have ever heard. I hope it does not come to an elevator near me, even if it might mean bringing me closer to the suits in my building.

It’s so beautiful when people come together under the umbrella of hatred.

miss britt: i got my ears pierced at a kiosk in a mall, so i totally agree.
shari: i'm going to start bringing a gun and a grappling hook into the elevator from now on.
lgoe: it's okay, as long as people are laughing *and* learning valuable lessons from my pain, i don't mind.

Oh, Jen! Thank you for making my night. I’m TRULY not laughing at your pain. But the idea of Hal taking over the elevator is too much. Here in NYC we ride up and down all day, building after building. PLEASE let’s hope Hal doesn’t invade NY!

I remember when revolving doors were high-tech. Gah! On the plus side however, you now have the basic plot for the new screenplay starring Steven Segal or Bruce Willis or someone. They’re all the same guy anyway, and it’s all the same movie, right?

If my life experience has taught me anything, it’s this:
Anything with the word “kiosk” involved is evil.

claire: true dat. it's not money that makes the world go 'round, it's hate.
strode: is that where they went?! d'oh!
carrington: ohmigod, you're so right! where's my axe?
sir: i just hope the treats start getting better. would it kill them to buy some twix?
serap: i'd certainly get my daily exercise in that way, wouldn't i?
diane: it's kind of unsettling, i have to agree.
sizzle: idiotic, but true!
dustin: i'm in ur elevator, killin ur doodz.
roy: don't worry, when they asked me which way you went, i told them denver.
don: a lot of what you'll read here is embellished, but this sir is 100% true. i'm not that creative.
vahid: awesome idea! i just barge into stall H like... sorry, kiosk told me to go here. can you scooch over?
bre: you can't use the stairs in my building except in the case of a fire/emergency. all the doors are locked from inside the stairwell except the ground floor. we're really trapped.

I’m a sucker for new technology and all – but that feels a bit extreme. Also…. what do they do about the folks who take the steps?
