Stuck

If it's one thing i hate, it's getting stuck. Literally. I went to St. Luke's the other day to visit my dentist and there i was waiting for the elevator. I let 3 elevators go by because they were too full. I hate crowded enclosed spaces. The 4th time the elevator stopped on the 9th flr, i couldn't wait any longer, lucky for me the elevator was so full that 2 people actually got off. So, i figured, at least i'm taking up the space of 2.

The door closes. The people inside are whining and complaining about how small the elevator is and that the air conditioning inside isn't working. I keep quiet.

The door opens on the 3rd flr. I feel annoyed. The idiots outside the door take 6 seconds to decide they can't fit in the already very full elevator. There were 5 of them.

The door closes again.
The lights go out. The woman at the back starts to whine like a child "haaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaa blah blah blah"
My heart is in my throat. CRAP. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "Shut UP! Do u really think that's helping in any way?"
I get my cell and use it as my light, looking for the alarm button in the elevator panel. It's not working. The man to my right is looking for the emergency phone. There's none. The woman to my left is quiet, everyone behind me is panicking. Another lady screams "di nako makahinga!!!!!!!!!!!" I reply to her "kung di ka na makahinga, patay ka na. tumahimik ka nga dyan!"

I feel air coming thru the doors, its slightly open. I say this aloud and the man to my right and the woman to my left quickly pull it apart. I step out. The idiots behind me start pushing each other. I move away from their tiny stampede. The 2 women who were panicking both trip on their feet. I roll my eyes and slowly go down.

I don't know what i hated more, getting stuck in that elevator or getting stuck with those noisy people. I did realize that i snap when im under pressure, as in, i snap at people to be calm. Because I may be panicking inside but i act calm outside.
