for Friday Fictioneers.
Here we call them lifts, in other countries, elevators. I’m going with the former!
I hoped to be a pilot but my dream never took flight, so instead I became a lift operator in a posh hotel. It has its up and downs but I enjoy it.
It’s lovely when ladies come aboard smelling of expensive perfume but awful when men break wind, it’s wrong on so many levels.
Yesterday a lady entered displaying an enticing cleavage. ‘Please press one’ she said. I stifled a giggle!
I’m told ghosts use lifts to raise their spirits. Ooo-errr!
Today I’ve travelled 15.4 miles, the doors have opened and closed 342 times, and I’ve carried 271 passengers!
‘Going down’.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Liz Young for the picture.

A man who finds satisfaction in his work
He certainly does Neil!
Press one, indeed! You had me laughing out loud, Keith 🙂
Nothing like a bit of naughtiness now and again! Thanks, Linda.
Nothing better than finding a job one loves!
This was a fun one, Keith.
Job satisfaction! Cheers Dale.
😊
Superb satire…really enjoyed it!
I’m pleased, thanks so much Ain.
Haha.. good one keith😀😀
Thanks, Vartika!
Wonderful word play Keith
Thanks so much, Sadje.
You’re welcome
You are showing your age, lol. Most young folk know nothing of elevator operators. The first place I worked had them.
Haha, thanks for pointing that out Denise!
A different type of flying. Well done.
Indeed it is! Cheers.
Light-hearted and lovely take on the prompt! A bit of a view then, eh? Had me chuckling, as I recalled the straight-faced lift operators who must have seen and overheard all sorts during their shifts. Curious and fond memories of another era. Thanks for lifting my spirits today 🙂
I bet can tell a tale or two! So pleased you enjoyed it, thank you.
Keith,
It’s almost a career in aeronautics. Close enough. Sorta. (Great read!)
pax,
dora
Perhaps not quite as exciting but as you say, close enough! Thanks, Dora.
Delightful Keith. good to find you on fine form, hope you are well.
Thanks so much, Iain, great to your smile again!
Loved this Keith. I bet if he pressed one, she’s give him a right hook!
I don’t doubt it Di! Cheers.
😀
Love all the puns! You really made me laugh out loud with this one, Keith. Excellent.
Just the response I was hoping for! Thanks so much, Jenne.
Dear Keith,
I must say your piece gave me a lift in my spirits. Full of ups, downs, and giggles all around.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Rising and falling, my puns were appalling – but I’m pleased they amused you, Rochelle!
Most fun to read!
Thanks so much, Mimi!
Love it! Please press one, [giggles].
I wouldn’t dare! Thanks so much, Trish.
Loved the play on words, Keith. Great take on the prompt
I’m really pleased, thanks Shweta.
Great Keith. Fun story. Love the punch/press line.
Thank you so much, Susan.
This was funny and that guy sure knows how to makes the best of his job.
Thank you. He does, it’s probably more interesting than it seems!
And if she had had said – Press 2 🙂 Would be interesting Great take
He’d think it was his lucky day! Thanks so much.
like carlyle said, “blessed is the man who finds his work; let him ask no other blessedness.” 🙂
I couldn’t agree more! Cheers plaridel.
Haha going down. This guy has stories to tell.
I’m sure he has!
Puntastic! Sounds like a fab job!
It is, but his request for a rise fell on deaf ears!
Pilot? Looks like he was destined to be a lift operator.
Seems he was Bernadette!
I loved the concatenation of one-liners! Inventive take on the prompt, Keith!
That’s a word I haven’t used in a while! Thanks so much, Penny.
He got to fly after all and an elevator operator would have less stress but the stories he could tell. Very clever writing, Keith!
They must hear all sorts of things! Thanks so much, Brenda.
Great fun, Keith.
I’m sure he wanted to press one (then the other) to make sure they were real.
Thank you. You could well be right Russell!
