If You Take The Elevator To The Second Floor, You Don’t Deserve Legs

Last week I was on a Caribbean cruise. If you have ever been on one, you will know that the elevators are located right next to the wide, grand staircases leading up and down the ship. They are hard to miss.

After returning from a day in port in Dominican Republic, I boarded the boat and climbed the elevator to reach the buffet on the 10th floor. I returned to the boat quite early so I was the last one waiting in the elevator for it’s closing. When the doors began to shut, a couple ripped them open at the last second to climb in — which was fine at first. I was happy to be polite, and we were all on vacation. This was until the elevator stopped at the end. Second floor To let this couple go despite the fact that the stairs are only 10 feet from the elevator entry.

Sorry, but it’s not the right time to have legs. There is nothing that better demonstrates modern Americanism’s laziness than people who feel compelled by the elevator to go up or down a single level because they can’t find the stairs.

There are very few reasons that an able-bodied person would choose to ride an elevator up or down one floor over climbing a flight of stairs. This is a common American practice. 12 steps. 12 steps are possible unless a person has a serious disability. You can only take 12 steps if you are moving furniture or a large awkward object. A person cannot take 12 steps if they are carrying large quantities of groceries. large, Three bags minimum. They can walk 12 steps. There’s no reason to make everyone wait for the elevator so a lazy person does not have to do the seemingly impossible task of walking 12 or 14 steps on a cruise ship.

My hungry trip to the buffet was interrupted by a couple who wasn’t disabled, didn’t have any luggage, and was not overweight, unlike most of the people on my gluttony-fueled journey. Their legs might have been shaved if I was king for a few days. They don’t seem to need them.
