#btw I'm aware the lowest level the lift goes to isn't actually the floor of the lift shaft so this is all nonsensical even in principle

[nohoperadio]

Sometimes at work when I call or send the goods lift to the lowest floor, I have a vague intrusive thought (although I probably can't rightly call it that since it doesn't seriously bother me) that someone might for some reason be at the bottom of the lift shaft and me sending it down is going to crush them to death. Like maybe there's an engineer working there and they forgot to disable the mechanism somehow or something like that.

And sometimes this intrusive thought manifests in a way where on some level I'm aware that someone might be down there, sort of on the border between consciously and unconsciously knowing, like I hear a vague sound that might be a voice down there, but I push it out of my mind and press the button anyway because I can't be bothered to think about that and the hassle of figuring out what to do about it, and I know I'll just be able to feign ignorance if the worst does happen anyway.
