Then I turn to face them and back out at the next stop, making sure to maintain eye contact.

This keeps you from looking like an idiot, especailly if you do this alot. 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.

To reach your destination both quickly and with your manners-reputation intact, my advice is to be one with the herd. Thus if you're in Manhattan, just move before they run you over. If you're in Texas, where I live, its best to let the women go first. Sorry to say this, but conformity tends to make crowds more efficient.

It's kinda funny! Also, what about glass elevators, like in the Eiffel Tower? Can I look out thte back there? ;) (guess what? I'll do it anyway!)
