I don’t think I have ever talked about the elevators here, but they suck, they are slow and we only have to go up 4 floors, so most days I take the stairs, even though, I’m dead by the time I get to the top. Today I got my breakfast and decided that I would go up the elevator. I came around the front as one was leaving and a guy pushed the button and another door opened. What luck, that never happens. So 3 of us step on the elevator, they press 2 and I ask for 4 and just as the door is closing a person sticks their arm in and comes on. We wait and as the door closes again, someone sticks their arm in and we wait. And again as the door closes, someone sticks their arm in and pushes the button for 3. Me being the quite person that I am, yell out “Push the door button already, I could have been up and down the stairs by now.” Now everyone is looking at me and we finally start to move with the help of the 2nd person that got on. She pushed the door button. We get to 2 and 2 people get off. We get to 3 and 3 people get off and I push the door button and finally get to 4. So that is my rant for the day.
It started sounding like you are the bus driver and 5 people get on and 4 people get off and 1 person gets on and 2 people get off and the question is who is the bus driver and most people get screwed up because there were counting how many people were getting on and off……You are the bus driver, now push the door button and lets go!

People really are clueless when it comes to elevator etiquette. Rule #1 - If the doors are obviously closing and well over halfway there, do not stick your arm in to stop it from happening. Rule #2 - Do not overcrowd the elevator - there needs to be enough room to spread out in case you get stuck. Rule #3 - Do not push the wrong floor and then push the right floor and act like you didn't do it.

Oh yeah, Rule #4 - Ladies and children are the first to get out of the elevator so mind your manners and quit trying to run us over already.

i avoid elevators at all costs...i get really claustrophobic in them when they are crowded, so if i can use the stairs, that's what i'll do...and everyone knows when you step into an elevator and no one else is waiting to get on that you should push the "close doors" button as fast as possible so it doesn't get crowded...i hate the fuckers that stick their arm in the door...grab the stairs if you're in that much of a hurry...
