obviously, this has something to do with elevators

I have been standing on the elevator lobby for about thirty seconds before I realized that elevator doors don't open by themselves - they're dependable machines that require human intervention AND that dependability is directly proportional to the intervening-human's intellect. So, I pushed the down button while mentally laughing at myself for having accomplished such a remarkably idiotic feat.

I've been on several elevator bloopers before: pushing the wrong floor number; wondering why the elevator isn't moving and then realizing that I hadn't pushed any button at all; getting off on the wrong floor. This recent incident is the fourth. I wonder if there's going to be a fifth and if whether or not it would involve gravity. Heh.
