Lifts

Bombay Addict notes some trends in “lift culture”. Do you have any others to add?

4. Desperado – See, pressing the “Lift” button 534 times in 10 seconds won’t get the lift to you quicker. No, really. There’s electronics, physics, hydraulics, engineering going behind that door, behind that button. Stuff you won’t understand, stuff that has made people Noble laureates. So it doesn’t matter if you keep pressing. I know you belong to an era of collapsible gate lifts when you’d shout out “Lift” and lo and behold, like a nymph from the skies, like an apsara, a lift would float in front of you. No. It’s not like that any more. So wait. Be quiet. Save the energy.
