The elevator is the safe place? Come on wooman want equal rights and they got them. They have to wait in line like the rest of us ok! Not only that but its rediculous that some woman truelly believe they have the right to go first. Example: on vacation with my family (and there's about six of us, mostly male) when waiting for the elevator we went frist in an attempt to get to the back as to allow anyone else that wanted to get in to be closer to the door so they wouldn't be stuck. This women jumped over my bags to get in first to hit her button. It was the same as our floor. She stays in the back. When we all reach the floor the woman tries to push past us. We ask her to politley wait as we attempt to get off. She glares at me then starts cussing me out because we didn't let her off! She was like "Haven't you ever heard the saying woman first you jackass!!!!" wtf what am I supposed to do? You people really make me wonder. The elevator is the safe place?

As an elevator may be considered as safe, and the outside may be considered as unsafe, therefore gentlemen should let ladies enter the elevator first, and he should exit the elevator first and hold the door for the ladies.

PLEASE, I beg of you, stop it with the Ladies First thing! I hate the awkward position it puts me in!" Thank you for reminding us that it is not 1957. The author of these rules and many of the people commenting need this reminder. A Lady: “NO NO NO! PLEASE, I beg of you, stop it with the Ladies First thing!

You don't just charge in the door.

If she's been on the elevator more than about ten minutes she'll be racing to pee ASAP. Hold her up and you could end up with wet shoes. One essential to the rule: pregnant women.

I would like to comment to those cads who aren't gentlemen "Didn't your mother teach you any manners?" I think though, that some men don't know what to do since the Women's Lib thing started because perhaps some women have reacted negatively to their gentlemen ways. That's too bad. They should be gentlement no matter what. I like it when men are gentlemen and let me on or off the elevator first.

I truly cannot believe so many people get so wound up about common sense issues. Moreover, I'm amazed anyone is anal and bored enough to enumerate a list of rules for elevator etiquette: "Don't defecate in the elevator." You've got to be kidding me. Good Lord!
