Fun with elevators

One of elevators in my building has a funny problem with the door. It opens normally until it gets roughly 7/8 of the way, then it hesitates for a second, and then very slowly opens the rest of the way.

Despite my full knowledge of this, I still managed to ram my left hand into the hesitating door when I got off the elevator to do laundry today. I didn't just ram it, I drilled the sucker. Scraped a bit of skin off my knuckles, but thankfully there was no blood.

There was a Swiss Chalet deliver guy in the elevator at the time (who orders Swiss Chalet delivery for lunch?), and I think he made a comment about my amazing coordination, but I was too busy not dropping the laundry basket to listen to him.

While waiting for the elevator when I was going down to put the laundry in the dryer, the fire alarm went off. I knew they were testing the system today, but I didn't know when, and I was standing directly under the bell when it went off. Scared the hell out of me.

I didn't realize this before, but each floor's fire alarm sounds slightly different. The trip down to the laundry room was a constantly shifting tapestry of sound, and it was possibly the coolest thing I've ever heard.

There are 20 minutes until the dryer will be finished, and I'm really curious as to what's going to happen on the elevator this time.
