Argh

is it too much to ask of people that they wait maybe 2 additional seconds before bum-rushing the elevator as i'm trying to get off? the doors barely get open and there they are, frozen in the middle of the opening, caught in the realization that, holy shit, someone else is actually using the elevator and, since this is the ground floor, they probably want to get off...what a novel idea! then, since they are already caught in the momentum of entering the elevator, they try to squeeze past as i exit, yet always manage to bump my shoulder and then retreat to huddle in the corner without a scant word of apology. what annoys me even more are those people with that dimwitted look on their faces that informs me that they have no idea how rude and self-absorbed this act unveils them to be as they barge directly onto the elevator with reckless disregard for any action resembling politeness. as my job calls for me to travel between buildings on campus, utilizing many elevators, i have come to the realization that most people in this world are oblivious to their surroundings and the impact of their actions on others, and i am happy because i see how easy it will be for me to stand out against this backdrop of social ineptitude.
