Ride 'em Cowboy!
I like to ride the elevator alone, then I don't have to deal with that awkward silence and trying to figure out where to stare without looking rude, not having to pretend to be totally absorbed with the calender on my cell phone, etc. Today I scurried from the buildings entrance to the elevator, I saw a young man coming from the other direction, also heading toward the elevator. Ching, ching, ching ... I walked faster, pushed the button, the door opened, I slid in, pushed the top floor button, CHING CHING CHING ... and just as the doors were closing he pushed his way in. I asked what floor, he replied with the voice of a boy becoming a man. Fortunately he wasn't going all the way to the top, so I was only stuck in uncomfortable silence for a few floors. Now, I was trying my hardest to just stare at the elevator buttons, but I couldn't help but glance over and stare like you would a car wreck at this kids attire ... Cowboy hat, button up shirt, loose Levi's, genuine pointy toe cowboy boots, and spurs. Complete with pubescent acne. Interesting way to start my day. Now I'm off to eat some lasagna. 9 comments from 3 users

Oh my. What the hell? LOL Was he seriously wearing spurs? Were his boots at least dirty? As in, he was working at the farm... then remembered he had to run a quick errand....

Seriously, with each step it was chang chang chang! The boots were clean, I was checking for the exact same reason ... maybe it was a school thing or something, but that get up was a RIOT! posted by

I love riding elevators with people. We call that a captive audience. I generally make some smart alec comment. If they don't laugh, I'm glad to see them go. But generally they do laugh. And we share what may be our only moment in life together.And spurs in Bakersfield? Where else would you wear them? posted by

I've been singing, "I wear spurs that jingle jingle jingle" Since yesterday and I couldn't figure out WHY. I just remembered. posted by

A captive audience, that's hilarious! Sometimes I'll face toward the back of the elevator, which I think confuses people and every once in a while someone else will join me. Or I'll say "You are all probably wondering why I invited you here today" Once I rode down with a beautiful stranger. I wouldn't have minded riding up with him again ... but alas, he rode into the distance, ahahah! No, not the guy with the spurs ;) posted by

I totally should have, he smelt SOO good ... it was strange, this feeling was completely awakened in my body, one I hadn't felt in a long time. Eh, c'est la vie. posted by
