We are such impatient sods
How often do you press the button?
I was waiting for the elevator to get back to my room after dinner just now and bumped into my Swede clustermate. Yes, I know it sounds just like sweet but next time will you just listen to the emphasis on the letter ‘d’ (the ‘e’ at the end of Swede is silent) and ‘t’ at the end of the word?. Ceeesh!
Anyway, while going up after having pressed the buttons, he remarked to me that Asians love to repeatedly mash the close button (presumably until the door is closed, or else that is definitely a psychological thing) which is in stark contrast with people in his homeland as nobody practically uses the close button there. What did I do?
I gave him a guilty smile. Oh, I remembered that I didn’t touch the close door button at all this time (although I might have unconsciously pressed the button ONCE). Nevertheless, I do use the close door button almost all the time but that depends on my relaxed/stressed mood.
So, in defending us Asians that uses the button, I replied:
"Well, at least we [make use of] it over here."
Oh yeah, must not forget to post this. It’s just, so adorable and so touching!
Lesson to us 2 legged and 2 handed humans: If a Kiwi bird can ‘fly’, we’d be able to do it too! (although that means landing with a ‘BLAM’)
Hope this guy makes it to Pixar someday!
