You ever walk into the lobby of a building and no one is around? You can hear the scuff of your shoes on the tiles. You have to go up a few flights and you know where the stairs are, but the elevator is right in front of you.

Then the elevator doors open. No one is inside. They stay open for you and for some reason they only opened when you approached.

What do you do?
