An Elevator Apology…
…or I should say an “e-re-be-ta” apology. This one is for my Dad…
When I got into the elevator today this sign was posted. You don’t need to know how to read Japanese to figure out that on April 24th they will be working on the elevator from 10-12PM.
That’s good information to have and I won’t plan on going anywhere during that time as I live on the 12th floor. I don’t mind the trip down the stairs so much as the one back up!
The thing that gave me a kick was that the little guy was bowing in apology for any inconvenience that he may cause. Now here’s the best part (for my Dad) - check out the company name on his hat…
Even in Japan, huh Dad?
For those of you that are saying “I don’t get it” that’s because you have no way of knowing that my Dad spent his entire career working on elevators. His first job, at the ripe old age of 17, was installing elevators for Otis Elevator Company. He’s been retired for a while now but he still checks out all of the elevators and escalators that we ride on (and tells us what’s wrong with them)!
