There's a freight elevator that I pass every day on my way in and out of my building.
There's a sign next to it that reads, "Freight only, no passengers."
This always makes me smile because I always visualize some delivery person getting to the elevator and putting down the three boxes he's carrying. Then he looks at the sign for a bit. There's no real expression on his face, but he looks at the sign far longer than it takes to read it.
Then, after putting all the boxes in the elevator, he presses the correct floor button, and squeezes out from the doors as they're closing and hurries to the main lobby, where they have the people elevators. He's on his way to meet the boxes on the sixth floor.
No, I haven't actually seen it. But it amuses me that it could happen.
