The arrogant **** who saw me approaching the lift after him, turned around, looked me in the eye and pressed the "Close Doors" button.
That's where you run up the stairs and get on with them at the next floor, isn't it ? If you can muster a giant fart, all the better
Employees who are on long term sick, getting hufty as if the sickness policy and stages within it are things that I have invented as a way of targeting/tormenting them particularly and that I'm doing to them because of some personal grudge.

I'm not entirely convinced that the Close Doors button in lifts actually does anything, it's just there to give impatient dickheads something to prod at. The doors are closing in a couple of seconds anyway regardless of any passenger interaction, because that's how lifts work.
