I have one thing to say to you:
Oh yeah?
In the time it took me to come up with that first thing I’ve also come up with a second thing.
You know how you guys call an elevator a lift? That’s bullshit, because that would mean it should have a different name when you’re going down, shouldn’t it?
Plus, older cable elevators (which I imagine they ALL are in Europe: Home of the Questionable Elevator) have 40% of their work done by a counterweight. So there’s less lifting going on than there is counterbalancing, and the motor is doing a pulling motion, so if anything it should be called a “pull.”
So stop tricking girls into being in love with you because of your accents because you don’t know shit about elevators.
