Waiting for Elevators

I don’t really know why Unnamed Character and Long-haired Character need to go to the sixth floor of whatever building that is, but it was just an excuse to have them attempt to use the elevator. And that brings me to the main topic: when you wait for something (such as waiting for an elevator to arrive) for a seemingly long time and think “I shouldn’t bother waiting anymore” and do something else (such as going up the stairs), but then you find out that the thing you were waiting for just happened. Yes, that’s pretty much an explanation of the entire daily flash. That sort of stuff happens more often than it should, which is annoying. And yes, I sorta ran out of ideas.

  • Pingies first to wait in a elevator tonight p_p

  • Also, yes, queueing the elevator is annoying, where I live most buildings only have two floors to them, if any. But when I was in Los Angeles last time, they have some big buildings like the Macy’s center, that I swear have like 6 elevators you can queue up, and even with six of those things it still took a long time to wait for one, and when it showed up, every one climbed in. >_<

  • Lol, that happened to one of my friends last week when I was staying in a hotel, and it was taking incredibly long (due to someone was pressed all of the buttons on the elevator later out I found).

    As soon as she decided to take the stairs because she wouldn’t wait, the elevator opened on me.

  • Waiting for elevators, eh? I live in an apartment, so I had to experience it almost on a daily basis.

    Though, it does show up quite quick. If it takes much longer, my brother and I take the stairs, even though Mom said not to take the stairs.

  • I only takes elevator when going upstairs. Going downstairs is fun when you running and jumping all the way to the bottom.

  • Replace “elevator” with “bus” and you’ve got the story of my life.

    Also, I spent too much time making this.

  • Ah, you come up with another of those inevitable あるあるww moments.

    But hey, not taking the elevator can save your life! Recent studies realized by a student revealed that most of the people who don’t take the elevator end up taking the stairs!

  • I occasionally volunteer in a retirement home, and one of the activities involves taking citizens up to their rooms after stuff like Bingo or Catholic Mass is over. However, due to the fact that every single citizen is old and is therefore in a wheelchair, there’s only one way to take them back, and this is by use of the elevator. Unfortunately, there are only a few elevators, and said elevators have a tendency to hold only up to four citizens at one time. This is especially distressing if somebody goes to a floor, then sets the elevator on HOLD, which keeps the elevator at that floor until it is taken off of HOLD. In addition, certain elevators have a tendency to occasionally break, slowing down the process even further.

    Also U.N. Character and Large Hadron Collider went to the sixth floor because it has a hell raven farm there! And the hell ravens there are the strongest.

  • I hate it when that happens … |3

    Of course, I pretty much only have elevators as easy access, so I dun really got much of a choice …

  • It never happens to me but I always get really dizzy in elevators, and just when I’m not feeling dizzy, and think I’ll be okay, the elevator stops and I get dizzy.

  • Plus, while viewing this flash, and they were waiting for the elevator, I though this was a loop, and I was gonna leave, but then text appeared.

  • NoWaiThatsImpossible:O

    i hate it when that happens :|

    its like its telling us to work out x.x”

  • that’s why they need to put elevator music outside the elevator.

  • You know, the Half-Life games and others made by Valve always seem to have long waits for elevators. Usually with enemies attacking.

    A friend of mine actually emailed them about it, asking ig Valve HQ had slow elevators and they were working from experience. Gabe Newell actually wrote back and said that no, the elevators were actually quite fast “

  • Damn slow lifts! John Romero would be proud.

  • Well, in my case, I’ve never seen one of those “elevators” you’re talking about XD

    But, if I did I probably end doing the same thing I do with buses, just walk by XD

  • That has happened to me so many times.

  • @Star: Gah I hate that feeling! I’m not really used to elevators, but when I use one, I almost throw up my lunch!

  • @Solais: If Yuyuko got queasy on an elevator and lost HER lunch, it would be the flood of total apocalypse.

  • Should have walked up the down escalator instead.

  • On second thought, this is probably a flashback to what happened in the “Museum” flash, just from another perspective

    While Headphones Character climbed up the down escalator, Bored Looking Character took the elevator, blocking the progress of Unnamed Character and Long=Haired Character. The only question remaining is why Bored Looking Character took the elevator to the second floor instead of the sixth. (Although, she could have had an entirely different destination.)

  • Wow… are they Mass Effect elevators?

    Just kidding. Hilarious as always. Mostly because it’s happened to me plenty of times.

  • @Prims: That’s why we almost never see Bored Looking Character. She has Roronoa Zoro-syndrome.

  • I always look in the elevator room if it’s already down.
    If it’s not there already, I’m not going to bother to wait for it.

    Don’t really need it, since I live on the 3rd floor.

  • @Solais:
    My folk force me to walk, no matter how many stairs there are, but in cases when I’m forced to use an elevator, I almost faint. (and then end up on floor 629862984692834692834562365) But its always when it stops.

    Things lost on elevator:
    Lunch
    Consciousness
    Wallet
    Confidence for going on an Elevator

    Elevators owe me 3 slices of cake now.

  • I once tried chasing an elevator. Ended up getting to my target floor(7th) just by running up the whole building because elevator doors open and close real quick.

  • The bus one is the story of my life.

    I have actually exploited this trope by pretending to walk away from th bus-stop, then turning back just in time for the bus to pull up.

    This trick has worked for me.

    Fate Manipulation at a scale Remilia would be proud of?

  • @Anonymous: Oh yeah, racing an elevator up two or three flights of stairs is fun :3
