Elevator pet peeves

If you live or work in Manhattan where there's no way to build but up, chances are that crowded elevators are a big part of your life. Chances are also that your routinely encounter some extremely annoying elevator-related behavior. Here's some that I've encountered:

  • Getting in an elevator in order to travel not just one single floor, but one floor down. Come on!

  • Pushing one's way inside without even stopping to look whether anyone wants to get off, then bumping into you with a shocked expression that says 'What!? You mean people come out of elevators too?'

  • Getting into an extremely crowded car full of people leaving work at 5:02 pm and then immediately pushing towards the control panel to make sure you press the button for first floor. Do you really think the thought of doing that hadn't occurred to anyone who got in before you?
