Elevator Etiquette
Posted in What the heck, people on March 26th, 2008 by ChrisI hate it when you’re riding the elevator and you’re waiting and the doors open and you start to go out but then right in the doorway is a little cluster of people, the closest two of whom are standing with their noses two inches from the opening doors. Because, of the whole group, not one of their thick smooth brains works quite well enough to come up with the idea that anyone else might possibly have access to this elevator.
Then they stop short, because, gosh, they see you in the elevator. You were not part of Their Plan, and they’re suddenly baffled at how to proceed. Because don’t you see this is Their Elevator, by virtue of the fact that They have decided to Use it during this particular part of Their Day. you do not Figure into Their Equation.
