More Americans!
(and Yes, we know they're not ALL like this)

To set the scene, I was in the Luxor Hotel (the big pyramid) in Las Vegas. The Lifts (Elevators for the Yanks) are basically boxes on wheels/rails which move up and down the sloping pyramid walls.

The doors of the lift i'm in open, two guys get in. I am then subjected to about five minutes of this fat American telling everyone in the lift how he 'doesn't get it' that a lift can move up a sloping wall?

As we stop at different floors, this statement is then repeated to every new person getting on the lift...

To prevent myself from having to punch him, I had to get out of the lift early and then take a different one to the ground floor.
