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.

]]> Comment on Crowded Elevator by: Frustratedwithrudeness http://www.elevatorrules.com/rules/crowded-elevator/#comment-111847 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:54:38 +0000 http://www.elevatorrules.com/rules/crowded-elevator/#comment-111847 What about people who form a crowd that are WAITING for the elevator and give no regard to people who have been waiting longer than them. 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?

]]> Comment on Going One Floor? by: RonF http://www.elevatorrules.com/rules/going-one-floor/#comment-25353 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:50:35 +0000 http://www.elevatorrules.com/rules/going-one-floor/#comment-25353 I worked at a hospital that required all it's staff to take the stairs if they had to only go up one floor or to go down only 1 or 2 floors (with obvious exceptions for carts, carrying heavy things, injuries, accompanying a patient, etc.). It freed up the elevators and aided the health of the staff.

By the time anybody with a brain figures out what you just asked, the doors will have closed and nobody can bust you in the nose.
