There exists a chasm in the compassion of human beings. A distance between the way we should treat others and the way most people actually do. Much like in autism, it’s a spectrum. But it’s always nice when you meet someone who understands the simplicity of a request to joy ride elevators. Most are curious. Some are annoyed. Others will just refuse to break protocol.
