so at my school the stairs are all locked forcing everyone to take the elevators

this means that between classes like 40-60 odd people are trying to jam themselves into three elevators that never show up

does this happen at your work/school/home?

no

shit, no, man

so you can get into the stairwell but you can only exit at the ground floor?

9/10/2008 10:40:30 AM

no

and isn't it a fire hazard to lock stairs?

looks like you need some japanese subway workers to help fill the elevators to max capacity.

they're replacing the skylight at my building at work, and right now, they're doing the area that's between the open stairwell and the entrance, so all of us have to take the elevator to get out of the building

lulz

Maybe this could help

I think I might just tape over the locking mechanisms on the floors that I need to go to so I CAN take the stairs
