Elevator

A lot of days when i leave work, i get in the elevator, and we ride down it to the parking lot. We usually chit chat about something, and when we get to our floor, theirs always an awkward moment.

We usually look at each other and say "have a nice night" or "see you tomorrow" or "let's hope tonight's episode of the Bachelorette is better than last weeks".

And then, on some special nights, there is a few awkward minutes once we have already said our farewells, and we realize our cars are parked somewhere in the distance next to each other.

Their is an unspoken rule that once you say your farewell's, you are no longer allowed to speak to this person. It is common knowledge that one person slows down to walk behind the other, or at least one person looks at their phone randomly to make sure the time passes until we reach our cars.

And so Edmund, no i was not really on my phone, but that was a few awkward minutes on the way to our cars, so i thought i would be that person today
