Frant: Take The Stairs

Friday Rant, maybe it’s a new feature, but more than likely I’m too lazy to beholden myself to a weekly column.  Anyway, how do people who take the elevator up one flight in instead of taking the stairs look at themselves in the mirror?  I’ve used the elevator in my office twice since I started working.  The first time was when they showed me what the code was to use the elevator and second was when my elderly grandparents came to see my office.  If you are old or handicapped then it is acceptable to use the elevator in all situations.  What I really don’t get is fat people who take the elevator.  Maybe you wouldn’t be so fat if you took the stairs more often.  All of this really bothers me at the Wake County Courthouse.  The elevators are shitty, old and always crowded.  I generally have business on the 9th and 10th floor and am usually running late.  When there’s a big crowd you often have to wait a couple of trips to get on the elevator and nothing pisses me off more than waiting because lazy non-brahs want to ride up one flight.  I’ve walked to the 10th floor many a times, but in the middle of the summer I will be sweating like Brinson when I get to the top.  Call me hypocritical, but 10 flights is a lot different than 1 flight.  Fortunately, there’s a secret entrance with a sky-walk to the courthouse where you never have to wait for the elevator.  So, just know that people are judging you when you take that elevator.
