The French have a phrase "l'esprit de escalier"
which means "staircase wit", the clever stuff you find yourself wishing you'd said on the way out. So if you see a frenchman on a staircase, punch the cunt, he's being snide inside his head.

the cunts are probably being extra fucking snide in lifts, I pity the next fucking frenchman who gets into a lift with me.

Weren't a hotel
Empire State, on the way down. We were queuing for the lift (they say elevator in america!) and this kid with a proper foot high mohawk comes past and steps in the lift with me. He was looking at me and my mate all the way down. He either wanted a fight or to bum us, i'm not sure which.

The germans have "treppenwitz" meaning the same
However, in contemporary German it has a different meaning. It refers to events or facts that seem to contradict their own background or context.
