I work in a IT department of a well respected local company which is situated on a top floor. After finishing my daily grind, I caught a lift all alone and was hoping that I will get a non-stop-to-ground-floor ride. Every time it happens I think it's my lucky day and I should buy a lotto ticket. The things I think and do to make mundane tasks interesting. Now you know why I call myself 'weird'. Wait, read on and you will know why I call myself 'witty' too.
Continuing...but, as most of the time happens, the lift stopped on the 4th floor. After couple of secs of opening of the doors, a pretty lady hoped on and screamed looking at me. Ok, not SCREEEEAM scream but was she was shocked and said, "Wow!" as if she had seen a ghost. She had assumed that the lift would be empty and didn't expect me in there standing in the corner and hence the shock. She explained this in a quick few words. Doors closed and lift started it's journey downwards.
Realising how embarrassed she must be feeling that she might have offended me and to lighten the mood in the lift, and me being me, I was quick to react and said, "...and I thought I shaved this morning" which instantly made her smile. Determined not to stop their, I added, "But you know, that's exactly how my wife reacts in the morning when she sees me on 4th to 5th day after I have shaved". Now she laughed a very hearty laugh. My job was done. The lift door opened to ground floor, we parted our ways with huge grin on both of our faces and well-meant "See Ya Tomorrow" on our lips. 'All's Well That Ends Well' they say and how true it was today. Nothing like ending the day with a smile and if you can make others smile along then it's a lotto win.
If you don't think I am weird and witty, I will make you change your opinion. But until that happens, you stick to yours and I am 'sticking....'.

So, what would you have done in similar situation?
