I remember a few times at college when I lived in the high rise dorms that had elevators that sometimes they would stop between floors---literally----and the door would open and you would be looking at the nine AND the tenth floor----pretty freaky!!!!!! I sometimes have nightmares with elevators in them doing the same dang thing!!!
I know exactly where Steve is coming from on that one!!!
Trust me, so do I. I have been terrified of elevators all my life. I honestly don't know how I managed to take the lift at least twice a day, 5 days a week up and down 42 floors when I worked at Merrill Lynch in NYC. I literally had to zone out with my Walkman and pray the entire time. So, I can totally relate to Steve's phobia here because I share it -- and I figure taking the stairs whenever posssible is better for you anyway, ha.
I just thought the gentle ribbing of Steve re: the lifts was rather cute.
I would have been a regular stair-climber if I had lived in your dorm!
These are years with a genius for living.
