You guys are, generally, I have found, intelligent human beings. Therefore, let me put this question to you:

 

If you come up to a lift, and it has a large notice on it saying ‘OUT OF ORDER, DO NOT USE’ do you,

 

a) Scream “noooo!” and beat your head against the closed doors while slowly sinking to your knees

b) Go find the stairs

c) Press the button (just in case) and get in the lift when the doors open.

 

Ok, all of you who answered a), I sympathise, as I hate stairs too. If you are a sensible person, you do b). If you are a reader in my library, you do c). This leads to your being stuck in the lift. 

 

It took us twenty minutes and much running about to find the key that would override the doors and get the poor soul out. Personally, I was in favour of waiting for the lift maintenance people to arrive and letting him suffer in there, but as we are nice librarians, we didn’t do that. Shame.

 

Combined with the idiot freshers (see previous entry) I sometimes wonder why we bother…

Well, if I was going up I'd choose A. If I were going down B, if I was going to work C. But that's just me.
