I was riding an elevator in a government building when a red light began flashing just above a message that read “if this light is flashing, help is on the way.”  Oh really?

It’s funny for obvious reasons, but the worrisome part (at the time) was that it just seemed to be flashing for no reason, or at least not because of anything I had done.  I definitely did not call for help.  I thought for sure I’d be spending the next couple hours trying to figure out how long I could entertain myself while stuck in an elevator.  Nothing so exciting took place.  The elevator did its part and released me to my desired floor.
