Engineer Blunder - Part 2

This is a continuation of my yesterday's post Engineer Blunder

Today, it happened again.

The same man from 6th floor gets into the lift along with me.

As usual, the slow but steady pace of the lift is rudely interrupted at the 4th floor.

The elevator door takes its own sweet time to open up. And then it stands open patiently waiting for someone to get in or get out...

This time, unlike yesterday, there are two people standing outside the lift. And they are busy talking to each other - so much so that they don't even give a glance at the openly inviting belly of the elevator... An elevator door can be an exasperatingly patient piece of machinery, but even that looses its patience at the uncaring duo standing outside and begins to slowly crawl shut...

And then one of the guys suddenly snaps out of their chat-world... He cries out "Arre wait wait..." and shoves his hand against the oh-so-slowly closing elevator door... How I wish the elevator door had shunned its hard-wired obedience just this once and clammed shut on the idiot's hand... But the damned obedient door heeds to his command and begins to open up again... as slow as ever :-(

And as we impatiently wait for the elevator door to fully open up, wait out it's halt-span, sluggishly crawl shut and finally continue it journey further, I point out to the man outside that its headed up, not down. The enlightened fellow smiles and says "Oh? its going up? Sorry..." And with that little pathetic apology he turns his back to an irritated and fuming group of passengers.

As the door finally crawls shut, the 6th floor fellow blurts out... "What sorry...!?? This is their everyday drama... These engineers...! Can't even understand - if you want to go down, press the 'down' button, not the 'up' one... They are engineers. Can't they even understand such a simple thing???"

As I step out on the 5th floor, I wonder with amusement what this guy dislikes more - engineers or unnecessary lift stoppages at Floor #4?
