LIFT CONVERSATIONWoman: Where's the 5th floor (stares at lift buttons)
Man: This lift doesn't go to the 5th. How about go to the 6th and then walk a floor down?
Woman: Ok.
*Presses lift button. But presses the 8th floor button instead*Another Man: (in a friendly and slightly annoyed tone) Tsk. That's the 8th floor. Sigh. Make us stop an extra time
Woman: (also in a friendly tone) Well, I'm sorry. I''m just human right? And humans make mistakes. Don't you make mistakes?
Another Man: Yes, I do.
*Lift reaches 8th floor, Woman leaves*Another Man: *speaks in Hokkien to his friends and then in English* Don't give me that bullshit.
I suppose underneath their friendly tones (not just the man's..the woman's as well) was really annoyance.
