Condo Viewing and a Pet Bear on the Loose

It's been 5 months but this was an odd one. 

I was visiting a supposedly luxurious condo for checking out their show flat. They had a doorman and concierge helping me with directions. After locating the demo apartment, I'd realised that in order to enter the unit, you had to step into a weird single-person lift. It replaced only about 6 steps of stairs, was open air, and required me to open 2 low flaps to activate. I had difficulty stepping into the petal design, and it did some sort of rotation to get to the top. 

Stepping off the platform, I was greeted by the sales team, where the designer proudly asked my experience with the platform I'd just used. I was too polite to share how I really felt. 

Departing the venue, I found myself approaching my car parked along a road. A bear was chained to a pole nearby, so I'd hesitated and walked towards a row of shop houses. It was getting restless trying to break free, and while my pace quickened, it broke free and ran towards me. Reaching the safety behind some fencing, I saw as it ran into an open shop in front of me, as I tried calling out to warn people around me about the animal on the loose. 

The condo lift probably still wasn't as ridiculous as visiting BlackPink in their spinning penthouse unit, but it was still a pretty damn stupid design.
