Elevator Etiquette/Discomfort

[nkypete]

Elevator behavior has always made me laugh. People stand there and no one says anything. They just stare at the numbers, like something different is going to happen this time--like it'll go from 1 to 5 to 4 or something.

 

So I usually get on the elevator and go stand right next to someone just to make them feel uncomfortable.

 

What happens when you get on the elevator with @Getslow?

I just usually fart and look at them with a big, Cheshire cat smile. Breaks the ice every time.

Anyone ever been stuck in an elevator before with other people. Fun times.

I saw a video where the first people on the elevator faced the back wall. Everyone who got on the elevator after then faced the back wall too. People are such sheep.

A trend I've noticed over the last year or so regards elevators.

 

If I'm on an elevator with one other person and we're NOT having a conversation I often get a "have a good day" from the person when they exit.

 

Is it being polite? Or , my theory, is it mainly a "I've got to say something - this silence is killing me?"

 

Anyone else a)notice it or b)say it when exiting an elevator?

 

I am one of those annoying people who makes sure to make eye contact and will offer some banal conversation, usually a comment about the weather, or something equally stupid. Without fail, I say have a nice day. I try to be the person pushing the buttons so I can ask what floor to start conversation.

I always speak. The world is a better place when we are friendly and respectful towards one another.

 

Keep it down please. :stop:

My father in law was an elevator repairmen. He gets and emergency call to release some folks that were trapped. He goes to open the door and a man proceeds to cuss him out. He closes the door and says "Ill be back later". Waited a good amount of time and showed back up and asked if they were ready to get off the elevator. They were very polite that time.
