Post-Elevator Disorientation Syndrome; ‘PEDS’ (n.) 


The odd habit of always turning the wrong way into a corridor when getting out of a lift. 

Despite have carried out lots of terribly interesting and complicated experiments with mice, homing pigeons, monkeys, not to mention a rather attractive goat, scientists are still at a complete loss to explain what actually causes post-elevator disorientation syndrome. Some say it has something to do with the Earth's magnetic field, phases of the moon or subatomic particles, but most don't really give a hoot, and let's face it there are much more important things to worry about, such as the likelihood of naturally occurring polyphony in ‘wingtones’.

[Based on an idea by George Wright.]
