The Lift is a Male
I’ve made that amazing discovery this afternoon. After having tea on the third floor I was waiting for the lift to come up. I had pressed the button a couple of times but it was showing a red G, and then came two girls who work in another office in the building. They were chatting and chatting as the future of the universe was depended upon it. I kept on pressing the button and it always showed G somewhat defiantly. Fed up, I thought of walking down all the way. Then, one of the girls, yup that dashing gorgeous damsel, pressed the button. Gosh! How could a machine be that bloody, damn mean? The moment she pressed the button (or was it a caress?) the arrow stood up showing 1, then 2 and finally 3.

hahha...i have felt similar instances too...the lift always closes too soon when i try to barge esp. when there are only girls waiting in it...:(
Hilarious observation..I have the totally opposite view though what being a female..its with technicalities..i can break my head over them and simple look from the hubby things fall in place. Maybe all techie stuff including PCs, mobiles and the rest are females!!
I think the home theatre in my house is definitely female. It never obeys my commands and only comes to life when my husband operates it.
Lesson learnt, always make sure there's a girl present when you are waiting for the lift.
Lol...I am sure a lot of other things are female...like the phones, internet connectivity, bulbs and tubelights, etc etc...:D
Mathew: ‘Here comes Mathew, the man with evil intentions’, murmured the lift before hurriedly closing itself. Now you know why the “lift always closes too soon when you try to barge esp. when there are only girls waiting in it,” huh? Ha ha ha ha…
Sujata: Ha ha ha… “Maybe all techie stuff including PCs, mobiles and the rest are females!!” How come? These devices are supposed to make life easier, then how can they be females? (I’m grinning evilly)
Aparna: You just command and your hubby operates it, and that’s the difference. He he he… “Lesson learnt, always make sure there's a girl present when you are waiting for the lift.” Nopes, yesterday as we waited there, me and a colleague, there were two girls right in front of us. One among them was the girl who was there the other day when I reached the conclusion that lift’s a male. But the girl who pressed the button last time was not present. Can you believe it that we waited too long that we ended up walking all the way down? Lesson learnt: The girl has to be really gorgeous.
Destiny’s Child: Oom…by now you realized that you’re wrong. LOL!
What I gather from this is that...
The lift- is male.
All other electronic gadgets that Men survive on are females...
I am definitely educated now..
Nice Post!
Jyothi: Thanks a lot for dropping by and the nice comment. But why, why is that your blog doesn't allow me to post my comment? I've been trying since morning. Now at last I've given up.
I have no idea why you can't comment. I am able to comment!
well, the lift in our apt is a hijra - a temperamental one at that!
Kochuthresiamma P.J: Welcome back madam.
You forget. Technology is feathertouch nowadays and intelligent too. Try operating some old pull the grill types and you will succeed.
nice post and nice observations too from your friends. reading them set me thinking what all things around me have the male in them and what all the female...
here is a firsthand experience to contest your argument that the lift is male: a couple of years ago i was going up the kseb headquarter building to the eighth floor to meet an officer who works late into the night. the whole building was deserted because it was around 9 p.m.
between the fourth and fifth floor the lift got stuck. i pressed the alarm, but could not know whether anyone was there to hear it. i could not say even whether the alarm was working, because no sound was to be heard. nothing happened for 15-20 minutes. i was beginning to panic, not knowing what to do. it was strange that i didn't think of using the mobile phone for quite a while. some five minutes after i finally did that, there was sound of footsteps running up the stairs and three or four persons calling out 'don't worry, don't worry, we are coming."
i don't think the lift is a male. this one just didn't want me to leave her. my rescuers used mechanical force with a crowbar to open its doors and get me released.
First of all thanks for your kind words.
You got stuck in a lift for 20 minutes? I’m not sure if I would’ve survived at all if I were in your position. I got stuck once for a few seconds and I got so panicked. It’s always scary, the cloistered box, kind of a vertically placed coffin. But using it regularly somehow made things easier for me.
“i don't think the lift is a male. this one just didn't want me to leave her.”
I won’t buy that, I won’t buy that…ha ha ha. I claim it was one demon of a lift trying to scare your life away, what do you say about that?
