A girl I work with shared this story with me. She, her husband and his brother, about 26 yrs. old, came home late from a concert and stepped into the elevator. The brother, who is just visiting, is one of those guys who fiddles with stuff. Just for fun, he stuck his fingers in the gap of the elevator doors (ok, its a Chinese elevator, there are gaps). Just as his brother yelled, “NO!”, the elevator came to a screeching halt! For the next 40 minutes they would sit on the dirty elevator floor with the culprit rocking back and forth in laughter. “They are going to charge you 5,000RMB for this you know”. “I don’t care, it is so worth it”, he said. He was taking pictures and having a grand time. What in a four foot empty space do you photograph more than once? Finally, the guards started knocking on the doors. The conversation went something like this:
(bang,bang) Can you hear us?
Yes, we can hear you!
(bang,bang) Can you hear us?
YES, we can hear you!
(Bang,bang)Wait a little while, ok?
Um, we know. (It’s been 40 minutes already)
(bang,bang) Wait a bit!
OK!
After repeating this conversation a few times, the guards finally they pried the doors open and helped them out. They didn’t get fined and he has a funny story to take back home with him. I just won’t be getting in any elevators with him!
