Post subject:  The woman I was in the elevator with yesterday

I was going to attach this to my other thread, but I think this gets its own DOTW:
My wife, my son and I are in the elevator after his pediatric oncology appointment and a woman gets on the next floor down. This is the conversation that occurred:
Woman: Oh he's cute, where you at the allergy clinic?
My wife: no
(pause)
Woman: Ear, Nose and Throat?
My wife: no
(pause)
Woman: oh was he..
Me: We were at Pediatric Oncology
The door to the elevator opens and we leave.


Who the fuck asks why you are at the children's hospital with a kid? When, if ever, is this a good idea? I'm sure she meant well, but think before you speak.

I was thinking that she farted on the way out of the elevator.

I hear ya. But it's safer to just say "cute kid" or something like that.

Yeah Im sure she meant well, but you at least need to shut up after the second no, if not the first one.

I am sure she meant well, just a nosey bitch.

Good to see everyone is being levelheaded about this.

There are certainly some odd overreactions, to be sure.

I feel I was very levelheahed, I am sure she meant well, but to continue to ask somebody you don't questions is just being nosey.

Any talking in elevators is horrible.

I think the "Caller Bob" and "bitch" stuff is a little over the line. That's probably what Dolphin is getting at.

I typed bitch so I will have to own that, but in a way it is.

She should be put to death on live TV.

Just type "earmuffs", then you can say whatever you want.

Maybe "Caller Bob" was a tad overboard (right, Tad Overboard?), but I just like to keep to myself and get a little annoyed when strangers are a bit questiony. Why do you give a shit, lady? Realize where you are.

I'm sure she meant well and was simply trying to make conversation. Ignorant conversation, but still.

Post subject:  Re: The woman I was in the elevator with yesterday

Yeah, I know she was just being nice but still she should have been a little more situationally aware. That's part of the reason why I didn't call her any names, though I understand why others would...it was douchebag worthy but she was trying to be nice. Can't fault her for that, just sort of pick up on the cues of the situation.

Hard to say what any of us would do in that situation, to be fair to Psycory. Emotions run high.

The woman erred. Not egregiously, even. She was trying to be nice.

Not even DB-worthy.

Well I disagree with you.

What if she dented a hatchback while backing out of the hospital parking lot? Then how would you feel?

If IMU is the voice of reason, then something is wrong.

I didn't overreact. It was a lack of manners.

I'll never understand sober people who want to talk in elevators. A simple hello is all that should be allowed and even that is pushing it.

How many times have you sat there in a hospital waiting room, and looked around thinking "I wonder what he/she has?" I'm sure everyone has done it. You don't actually do it, because it's rude and none of your business. Same thing with inquiries in a HOSPITAL elevator. Small talk is fine, but small questioning is stupid.
