Scene: I get on the elevator in the office along with another man. We both push our floor buttons.
Nothing happens. Oh right, it's before seven AM and we have to swipe our badges. I do so and push the button for my floor. Nothing happens. Repeat several times. The other man swipes his, pushes the button for his floor, and we start moving.
That's when I realize I've been using my Muni transit card instead of my badge.
