I went to the elevator today, punched the button, and noted an odd scent. As I was waiting for the elevator to make its slow and ponderous way up to my floor (hooray for hydraulics…), I had nothing better but to examine the scent. My first conclusion was that it was the chemicals they use to clean our bathrooms, which often contain odors worse than, although similar to, anything generated in the bathroom itself through normal use. But as I thought about it, I realized that, yes, that does smell a lot like piss. This led me to my second conclusion, which is that some jerkface idiot got his ass drunk last night and decided that the easy chair in the corner looked a lot like a urinal. How are they going to clean that up? Are they going to clean that up? Or am I going to just have to deal with my elevator room smelling like the gutter all the time? My floor is the most populous, by which I mean that more people from Outside visit it than other floors, and more people take the elevator since it’s at the top. This is not a good impression. This is not okay.

Actually, all piss-saturated chairs aside, elevators generally work on a pulley system powered by an electric motor. So, it would really be hooray for physics. http://science.howstuffworks.com/elevator3.htm
