Am I a bad person?
-
I was running late to work this morning. I boarded the elevator at the garage level with three other people and started up. After a few floors, the elevator stopped to let someone else on. But rather than enter the elevator, he stuck out a foot and a hand to hold the elevator door open while he finished his conversation. About 30 seconds later, the elevator began to buzz annoyingly -- the door wouldn't be open this long unless something was broken, right? Still, he held the elevator door open while he chatted with someone in the hall. So I turned around and "accidentally" dropped my briefcase on his foot. The offender yelped and jumped back into the hall. As the door closed, I bent down to retrieve my case and flashed him a small "Sorry about that" smile. Too subtle?
You are my idol today... :thumbsup: Waaay to subtle... you should have done the same shouting at the same time: DIEEEEEEEEEEEE STUPID FOOOOT DIEEEEEEEE! erm... :rolleyes: DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yes. I personally would have said something to the effect of "are you going up or down?". Then if he didn't respond then I would have raised my voice and told him to back up and let all of us on the elevator proceed with our morning. I have found that when you speak your mind in these types of situations, it almost always works in your favor. Most people, are too chicken shit and surprised that you said anything to them to really put up a fight or get nasty. Best case scenario is that he gets testy then you do as Henry Minute said earlier and give him one..or two, to the nuts - make sure you drive up with your swing of the brief case and then twist after impact. He will then proceed to vomit all over the place as his testicles deflate like a balloon. Works every damn time. I learned a lot in the Army...taking shit from no one is my specialty. Cheers.

Probably a lot more subtle than my solution would have been.

Yes! You should have accidentally swung the sharp corner into his nuts.

Yes, while Henry's recommendation would have been a little much a "S**t or get off the pot" would have sufficed. [Edit] With a Hey A&&hole to get his attention of course. [/Edit]

It would still be effective, and they would not know how to respond before you made your get away. Just the idea makes me laugh. :laugh: Thanks Henry!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Thanks to Guy Noir I was aware of that. Had I been aware of your location, I wouldn't have suggested such a crude retaliation.

You've just admitted that breaking my toe was NOT an accident. My lawyer will be in touch.
