The Visiting Nurses office in our building is the Pinnacle of Laziness
They ALL take the elevator up one flight of stairs.
Fine, perhaps they don't want to walk into their office out of breath.


BUT THEY ALL TAKE THE SAME ELEVATOR DOWN ONE FLIGHT OF STAIRS

The stairs right next to the elevator, and they're even broken into 3 very small and manageable landing areas.
What! The! Fuck!

3. You need a spy cam.
Are they totally hot?

If they avoid single flights of stairs, I'm thinking maybe not...

:P

4. I don't want a spy cam
although having control over the college security cam system a few years ago had some interesting viewing in the elevators.

5. I bet.
I lived in the ghetto dorm my first year of college.
I took the stairs. Nine flights.

6. Are these people that are on their feet all day?
I used to work retail, and it really tires out your legs just standing and walking all day. I'm very fit and still chose to avoid the stairs when I could! Normally stairs are no problem but when you're on foot all day, they suddenly seem like a huge tiring chore.

7. No, not that I'm aware of.
Visiting nurses typically visit houses of those who need medical attention and provide it. My mother does the same job, and from what I know, there's no large amount of standing required.

In fact, you could walk down those stairs in less time it takes the elevator to travel up one flight, open its door, go down one flight, and open the door again.
