I am
not mentally disabled. You do not have superpowers. So why do people act like
either of these could be an option?
If I am
with a group of people and I try to open a door to a house, car, room, or
anything of the sort, and it is locked – why is it that someone else who also
does not have a key thinks that if they try the door will open for them? Odds
are that I tried to push and pull. I tried to turn the knob both ways. I tried
a little jimmy – the door is just locked. But there is always that friend that
watched you fail to open the door. That friend who will push past you to give
it a try themselves. That keyless friend who will try to use his powers to open
the door. What are you the kings of the doors? The doormeister?
This
same person will stand next to you while you wait for an elevator. They will
watch you press the button. They will watch the button light up. But their
simple, impatient ass will still press the button again just to make sure the
elevator is coming.
When
you want to cross a road and you press the button, this friend will see and
hear the button get pressed. The traffic however, still has a green light. So
of course your friend has to press the button again. Not once. Not twice. But infinite
times. And yes, I understand that 29 seconds feels like a long wait, but I can
wait until my little green man shows up. My friend, after pressing the button
so much that it needs replacing, will still J-walk. Sometimes I hope this
friend gets a friendly little ticket from a police officer.
