I already text-messaged a few of you about this, the ones of you I know would be fascinated/appalled at the depth of the stupid, for it burns so....

I went back to work the social workers' convention this morning. With the elevators and two sets of stairs less than 30 feet behind her, an attendee came up to me and asked...

"How do you get upstairs?"

Between that and chasing them out of the roped-off area holding a buffet breakfast that was surrounded by signs for a pharmacists' event...yeah.

I was wondering what that text was referencing. Now that I know, please tell me you beat this person up the stairs and pushed them back down them once they reached the top.

Okay, after sending that I wondered if you had enough context. [profile] americanstd and [personal profile] shadowcell understood: [personal profile] shadowcell's response was to suggest I tell her that in SoCal we fly upstairs.

The guy who was being my boss on the job answered the question; I think I was sitting there stunned, my eyes dilated.

Speaking for the pharmacy group never *ever* piss off a pharmacist...they have worse tempers than any Lawyer I've met.
(and we hosted the summer piss-up for Trinity for years.)

This shining example of human intelligence wasn't a pharmacist. She was one of the social workers.

Whoops

I wasn't clear- I meant to say that I've seen how territorial pharmacists can be over a buffet at a convention, and that worker would have been in deeper trouble had she been found by one instead of you. ;-p

I should have left them to it, then. it would have been like something off the Discovery Channel.

Um, she could have been like me, not being able to see beyond my nose when I'm in unfamiliar territory. Otherwise, I navigate just fine!

This was the third and final day of the conference. She'd passed those elevators for at least one day previous to that.
