Almost embarassed myself

A week or two ago, I used the elevator at work to come down 3 floors. I usually walk down, but that day I took the elevator after a long long time.

When the lift reached the first floor, it stopped. I immediately started passing comments in my head about how people have become so lazy, that they cant even walk down one floor.

Just then the door opened and who walked in? A person who was probably afflicted with polio and so had obvious inconvenience in climbing down stairs. It was but natural that he had to use the elevator.

I felt bad and I can just count myself lucky that I didn't air my opinions to my friends who were in the elevator.

It is not just the physically challenged but also obese persons like me who need a lift.

Cool man! You learnt a lesson without uttering a word! People have n reasons to board the lift at first floor or to first floor. Many will not be as agile as they seem to be...
