If you're not from New Jersey the following post might not make any sense, just an FYI. I'm in the elevator yesterday leaving work (19th floor). The elevator stops at like 15th floor and when the doors open two women are talking, one in about her late 20's and two in about her 40's.

#1: so where did you grow up then?

#2: oh well, I grew up in central Jersey

#1: oh where?

#2: Middlesex county

#1: OK, like Manalapan, Marlborough?

#2: No, that's the shore...

#1: ohh?

#2: yea, Middlesex like Scotch Plains near the Watchung hills.

OK, so I understand that Manalapan & Marlborough are both in Monmouth county but to call it the SHORE is a little absurd. I live in Middlesex (technically) but I'm really only two towns over from them. But Scotch Plains is NOT Middlesex county, that's more like Union and probably not near the Watchung Hills which is probably Somerset county... Good thing you live on the Upper East Side now, or did you really mean the Lower East Side?

One is actually not the loneliest number...

So I realized one of my biggest pet peeves is popping up a lot recently: why must people press the button to the elevator one million times when it's evident you have already pressed it once, or worse they pushed it once themselves already. It really drives me up a wall when I see this happen, especially when the person presses it over and over about six times at rapid fire. I mean, do you really think that's going to help the elevator that is clearly on 29th floor get down to the lobby any sooner? It's plain and simple, what goes up must come down, so take a second, check your blackberry it's going to take some time, but I promise that elevator will come to you with just one press of that little button.
