An IT worker began eating his takeaway container of lamb vindaloo and rice during what turned out to be an eighteen second elevator ride to the third level of his office building, it has emerged.
Undeterred by the numerous other people in the lift, Peter felt it necessary to make a start on his lunch by opening the pungent container, and holding it with his left hand while shovelling down two mouthfuls with the included plastic fork in his right.
“I’m surprised he could eat anything with the high level of BO from that guy in Lycra” said one observer.
“And adding curry to the mix didn’t exactly improve the overall stench for the rest of us”.
Another witness noted that while also having two papadums in the takeaway bag, Peter elected not to consume those first in the jam-packed elevator, despite them clearly being the more acceptable option.
“I wouldn’t eat in a lift under any circumstances, but he started his second mouthful just before getting out.
“Seriously, what was the point of that? If it’s chips or something you can easily grab without much fuss, maybe I could have understood, but what he did…I just don’t get it”.
It’s been confirmed that Peter had an accident that very morning when attempting to devour a breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon on toast while cycling to work.
Unfortunately he didn’t sustain any serious injuries.
