Waiting for the elevator can be really annoying, especially when the elevator is taking much longer than it should.

In today’s story, one person gets revenge on the person who is responsible for slowing down the elevator.

Let’s see how the story plays out…

Hold up the elevator on each floor? Enjoy stopping unnecessarily on a bunch of floors on your way down.

So yesterday, I was returning home with a heavy bag of groceries.

As I approached my apartment building, I saw a delivery man with parcel trolley waiting at the door.

I decided to open it for him so he could get in while I checked my mailbox.

She had to wait a long time for the elevator.

As I entered the building, I heard him get on the elevator, he must have heard me enter the building as well but he didn’t bother to hold the lift for me.

No big deal, I’ll just wait for it to come back down.

The elevator stopped on the 4th floor, and I noticed it stayed at the 4th floor for a lot longer than it normally should, almost like it was stuck.

After a moment, it started moving, except instead of going down to me, it was going up, and stopped at the 5th floor.

Again it was stopping for an unusually long time.

She realized why the elevator was moving slowly.

It was at this point I realised the courier must have been holding up the elevator doors with his trolley, so they couldn’t close, meaning the elevator won’t move on.

Annoyed because I have a heavy bag of shopping, I live on the 7th floor, and we only have one elevator.

I was even more incensed when I saw the elevator carry on going further up and holding at other floors.

She gave up on taking the elevator.

At this point, I’d been waiting a good couple of minutes.

So I decided to take the stairs to the 7th floor.

However, I ran as fast as I could.

Why?

Because the elevator was coming down from the 16th floor and on my way to the 7th floor, I pressed for the elevator on each floor I passed.

If he enjoyed holding up the lift, he could spend extra time in them on the way down.

She was satisfied with the courier’s reaction.

I waited in the stairwell and listened to the elevator stop on my floor, doors open, doors close, stop on the 6th and so on.

When it hit the 5th, I could just about hear the courier say “for ****’s sake” as he realised no on is getting on the elevator.

I was out of breath and had a good sweat going on but it was worth it in the name of pettiness.

It sounds like climbing the stairs was worth it, but I doubt that the delivery man learned his lesson.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted…

This reader thinks the revenge took a lot of effort.

Another reader wouldn’t want to use this much energy.

This person would’ve done the revenge a little bit differently.

Another person loved the way this story played out.

This reader would’ve added a smell to the revenge.

The delivery man probably never knew who was responsible.

Well played.
