Awkward Moments

So the best part of the elevator ride is the uncomfortable silence as you and the other occupants attempt to ignore each other or awkward conversation that ensues when you accidentally make eye contact with someone.



Here's one of the latter I had today on the ride down after work:



Senior Partner in the firm: Incoherent mumbling

Me: "Pardon Me?"

SPITF: "Had enough, have you?"

Me: "Yep."


SPITF: Incoherent mumbling

Me: "Pardon me?"

SPITF: "How are you?"

Me: "Good thanks and you?"

SPITF: "Fine, fine."

SPITF: Incoherent mumbling

Me: "Pardon me?"

SPITF: "Hard day of business. Some days are good and some aren't. Heh heh."

Me: "Yup."
