And to Elevador, I don't think Lois was being rude. It was A) wrong of the other person to invade her and her husband's private conversation. And B) wrong of her to assume they were talking of being looney. The hospital could just have extra padding to avoid injuries when wheelchairs crash and burn. Also, the other passenger could have used it as a conversation starter. "What hospital?" or "Why were you there?" To Lois,

I’m totally trying that!

And to Elevador,

And B) The other passenger was rude to go up one flight, or change their plan mid-ride. I hope they were disabled, as that would make it ok.

One other person was already on board. As the doors shut, I looked around, turned to my husband and said, "This reminds me of my room at the hospital." The other passenger punched the button for the next floor and got off.

Unfortunately, in many cases there isn't a service elevator (many apartment buildings) or it is very difficult for a mere mortal to obtain access to it, at least not without a lot of red tape and advance notice (office buildings, hotels, etc.). In that case, if you need to get a large item up to your apartment/office/room, you really don't have a lot of options. Unfortunately, you're going to have to use the regular elevator.
