I am always helpful in asking what floor someone needs if they have full hands and can’t get to the buttons, however, if there are two panels and you are perfectly capable of pushing said button yourself… guess what you should punch it yourself…. I felt quite liberated to tell a woman that today and she had a piece of paper in her hand ….

I like to get on a crowded elevator and when they ask me what floor, I say “Surprise Me!” Then I turn to face them and back out at the next stop, making sure to maintain eye contact.

when not paying attention and the elevator stops, you get off on the wrong floor, never turn aorund and get backon, if you catch your mistake in midswing, dont be like tiger and stop, continue on and pretend you are actually at your destination, walk around the corner, look at your cell, find the stairs or go the the bathroom, then return to the elevator. This keeps you from looking like an idiot, especailly if you do this alot.

It’s just automatic to enter the elevator and press the button to your floor. It’s actually funny to realize what a dumdum thing you did, especially when you followed your coworker onto the elevator. It’s a little freaky though, when you get on and your floor is already pushed. Then you have to look at everyone to recognize your coworker who had been on before you.

I don’t understand why anyone would care whether or not I repressed a button? It really doesn’t affect anything. Maybe people are just looking for a reason to be annoyed.

When I was living in the dorms in college, we discovered that you could “cancel” a button that was already pushed by holding down the button for the current floor while simultaneously pushing the button for the floor you want to cancel. I don’t know how many other elevators this works on.

Another rule that should be here:
If you are the parent of a small chiild, it IS NOT cute when your child presses every button and holds up everyone else. They could be late for a job interview or important meeting or their next unsulin shot (try going into a diabetic coma because someone’s kid is using the elevator as a toy and you can’t get to your floor where your insulin is)! If your parenting skills are so poor that your child hasn’t learned to behave like a human being in public, then hold their hands until you get to your floor. Or buy them appropriate toys.

If I am in a position to “take” control of the door buttons. I always say going up: mens underwear. going down: it’s Ladies undergarments. this always raises a laugh.
