Elevator + Body Oil = Smiley Face

I was just getting worried that the people I work with had toned down the filth but NOPE.  There is something I see on a daily basis in the elevator.  I guess it could be considered “cute” but today it hit me — it’s not at all cute.  Before I give away the entire McNasty meal, let me tell you about the elevators…

Our elevators are COOL looking.  They have marble tiled floors, and sweet wood paneling around the inside of the “shuttle”.  The doors are 100% brushed chrome and they look slick — similar to those cool techie looking fridges rich people have in their houses that show finger prints all over place.

Now, a few MONTHS ago I noticed something strange in the top corner of the door.  Someone had put a tiny smiley face up there.  No, not a sticker but a smudged smiley face.  That was gone the next day and I’m assuming that the janitors must have cleaned it off.

Fast-forward a bit and get this; NOW every time the smiley face is cleaned off, SOMEONE puts it back the next day.  So basically someone in the company is using guerilla-like tactics and smudge graffiting smiley faces on the door of the elevator!  Pretty funny actually.  I even tried to make a smiley face on the door myself but i couldn’t get any smudge action.  I think my fingers were too clean to get a nice grease mark going so I thought for a split second — “how could you get grease?…FACE.”

Now this is my theory — I think the guerilla enters the elevator then as soon as the door closes s/he wipe his/her fingers on their face and starts tagging up the elevator.  That is not so cute anymore — face grease on the elevator door?! Damn.  And the poor janitors have to clean it up every night.

Maybe next time I’m in the elevator I’ll write the URL to this post in booger juice.
