Something about the elevator
Friday, February 20th, 2009Author’s Note : My friend read this somewhere in a forwarded mail and related the story to me. I guess if you have read it before then feel free to skip but I thought it might seem interesting to share with those that had not encountered this forwarded mail (someone like myself, actually)
Eddie is used to working long hours at night. Sometimes up to 1 or 2 in the morning due to the nature of his job. And because of that, he is used to going back home alone in the deserted and dark office building. Eddie’s normal routine was to call the security guard stationed at that particular day just to unlock the elevators. You see, for security purposes, the guards would lock the elevators after a certain hour of the night.
After working in A company for a number of years, Eddie had decided that it was time to change his working environment. However, his new job still took him til late hours at night. On one particular night at approximately 12am, Eddie decided to call it a night and head home. As usual, he would need to call the security head to inform him to unlock the elevators. After a few rings, the security head picked up the call and unlock the elevator for Eddie. Eddie stood in front of the elevator waiting it to arrive at his office’s 15th floor. After a few minutes, Eddie realized that the elevator did not budge and called the security head again.
