Elevator hold ups

Who knows what will happen when you throw humans into anything. Today for example...I was tasked with bringing a new computer up from the first floor. No problemo! Walked down the three flights of stairs, grabbed the box, proceeded to the elevator, pushed the button and waited...and waited...and waited. After about 3 minutes I approached the front desk and asked if they ever experienced elevator problems before. The response was a resounding "yes". I figured it was another issue with it and I sat the box back down at the desk and started back up the steps emptyhanded as a service call was placed for the elevator. Upon reaching the 2nd floor I heard voices and stepped around the corner to see two women, engaged in hushed conversation, holding the elevator door open. At the same time the janitor approached to followup on the service call. They asked if I needed the elevator and I responded that I did, in fact, have to bring a box up to my floor. I was probably snottier than I needed to be...but, what the hell?!?!?!
