This really annoys me. I purposely stand right in the front middle of the door that is about to open (If I am in elevator by myslef)so people will have no choice but to wait. But wouldn't you know it so idiot squeezed past me to get on elevator while I was trying to get off and had the nerve to grunt at me. How rude.

I face the door, no matter where I am in the elevator and this other person makes me feel uncomfortable, feeling like they're staring at me.

This makes stairs risky. I don't care if there are one-floor floozies, just be polite when getting on/off; smile and be sure your deodorant is up to snuff. I'm a boomer and I don't want to increase my risk of injury at this point in life.

He has to be the last on and then he stands in the doorway when the women are exiting. I want to say, "Get out of my way!" It makes me uncomfortable to have to walk so near, sometimes brushing against him on my way out. If he wants to exit last he should move to the back and stand there until we all are out.

We don't let women drivers drive ahead of us on the road, do we? Its common sense: Get on and get out of the way of others!! Also, if you are getting off the elevator on a nearby floor, stay near the front!! Those alone are the BEST courtesies for the elevator. Bottom line: Get on the elevator or take the stairs!

AS for the comments about americans, we do have a bad eating habit and should change our diets. Its unhealthy! For those Brits who are leaving comments have you seen your own teeth! let me know and ill send you to a great dentist in America! they can really help you with that =P Sterotypes are bad, and this isnt my impression but it is a sterotype of Brits. We could all do a little change in our habits. This is site is very useful if you dont understand how to socialize or you are very introverted.

If they just walked in the door to the elevator bank and theres 15 other people waiting, they just shove their way to the front of the group and think they're entitled to get on first???!?! Drives me insane and nothing in this article touches on that - why not?

It freed up the elevators and aided the health of the staff.
