Tipping the scales.

I went into uni today to meet some people I'm doing a group presentation with. We had a meeting with our tutor and we decided to get a lift to the relevant floor. There are only two lifts in our building and they take forever. Not only this, but if there are too many people in the lift, an automated voice informs you so and normally everyone looks at the fat person. So my group got in the lift and so did one other, slightly larger girl. The lift doors wouldn't close, but there was no voice announcement. I said to my group that maybe there was too many people in the lift. The other random girl said "I don't think that's it. Normally it tells you if there's too many people." Yet still, the doors would not close. The girl, in an effort to prove that it wasn't because the load was too heavy, stepped out of the lift briefly. Immediately the doors closed in her face and we were taken to our floor.
