People hate just sitting and thinking so much they'd rather shock themselves

Today it meant that the kiosk screen in the elevator lobby started autoplaying whatever is on TikTok. (I meant to get video; maybe next time I’m there.)

Another time, at work, it meant that I locked myself in the sub-basement (where they keep the building’s UPS batteries, & with which I have no business). I’m still known for that, even among those hired years afterward.
