Hailing an elevator?

You can hail a cab so why not another mode of transportation? I pressed the elevator button this morning and waited. How lucky was this? I was the only one there at the bank of 6 elevators so I was pretty much guaranteed a non-stop ride to my floor. Two minutes later I was still standing there with 8 more of my newest friend. When the elevator door opened, everybody waited for me to go first since I had gotten noticable older just waiting for this moment. Instead I stepped back and waved them all on ahead of me saying that I'd get the next one as there was nothing pressing on my agenda that I couldn't wait. I did get the next ride and you guessed it, hit every floor on the ride up. Ken Schulz
