Picture the scene...

...EOS, 11th floor, my wife and I arrive at the elevators.

Waiting at the first elevator are a Mum,Dad and 3 children, who, not to put too fine a point on it, look like they've spent their entire life living at McDonalds...

...and they always went large and they always had a giant shake.

Not wishing to make my wife feel too uncomfortable, we decided to wait for the second elevator.

As the first elevator arrived, and the doors opened, in waddled the Grizwald family. As soon as they pressed the `down` button, an alarm started ringing, and the doors jammed open, proclaiming to all in the vicinity...`Overload, Overload`

How embarrasing, because now they had no option but to squeeze themselves back out of the elevator, in full view of everyone...

...and, as they sheepishly headed towards the stairs, past a smiling crowd, Mother Grizwald, ever protecting her flock, uttered this line...

 

..."Do you know, these elevators just dont take into account how much a person is carrying in their bags!!!"

 

Yeah I thought...about 350 big macs! :D

 

Oh, how amusing real life can be. Had a smile on my face all day after that.

I was reading over the posts and this reminded me of EOS recently. My family was getting on the elevator to go up to the Windjammer and as my dad and step-mom and aunt were getting on the elevator it buzzed because of the weight. So my dad and step-mom got off to catch the next elevator. The rest of us and the 6 others that were already on stayed on and went up...on the next floor a family was waiting and about to get on. We told them that it would overload because we were full but the mother insisted...they stepped on and the elevator buzzed, as expected. As the mother was getting off of the elevator she told her little girl, "Come on honey, let's take another elevator...all the heavy people are on this one...":(
