So, Hec, when someone, say, oh, someone who is sort of short and stout and has great hair says, "I'm so glad you came along, I'm sure I didn't push that button right the first time," Do you...

a) snark back,

b) look confused, and then sneer, or,

I will often re-push the elevator buttons at work because the elevators in my office building are psychotic. I'm on the third floor. The elevators have lit numbers telling you what floor they are on. I have pushed a button, watched an elevator go from the first to the second floor, pause, and then go back to the first floor and stay. Meanwhile, neither of the other elevators budged.

or, possibly the more contrite...

"Sorry, I'm OCD poster boy."

or

"Did I mention how much I like your hair? Your hair fucking rocks like The Pixies in 1990."

or, something like that.

It would never cross my mind that someone re-pushing the button was in anyway a reflection on me, or that they had a thought at all about the fact that I had already pushed it. I would assume they are unobservant and/or control freaky and/or mindlessly trained to hit the button whenever near elevator.

He has to push it for himself; otherwise when the elevator arrives, it will only take you.

Brilliant. Finally it is explained.

The idea of mountains being so far away and as freaking huge as they are here ... skeery, and and unsettling.

ita, we need to go for a mountain field trip. San Gabriels, or the San Jacintos, or a couple hours further in to the Sierra Nevada. I wanna show you good mountains.
