EDIT: although sunoose (whoever the fuck she is) has been somewhat of a nuisance, she does have a point. i should have specified that this rant was about the elevator at my office. hence, theoretically, no one who is dying or need of medical attention should be trying to go to work.
all i ask are these 6 simple guidelines to follow:
1. if the elevator is crowded and you are in front of the door, you should exit the elevator to let people out. in fact you should do this before anyone has to ask. you know it’s a crowded elevator, and you know that someone is getting off. don’t try to make about a foot of space for me to try to cram past you. i, nor anyone else in the elevator wants to get better whiff of your BO.
2. once again, in the crowded elevator, if your floor is coming up, don’t try to squeeze past everyone before the doors open. there’s no where for us to go. and again we have the issue of your rank BO.
3. again, in the crowded elevator, if you need to hit the button to your floor, don’t just push your arm through to the button. um, hello? BO, remember? also, I would be more than happy to do it for you if you asked nicely. i would even almost excuse the BO if you said ‘excuse me’ as you squirm around while trying to hit your floor’s button.
4. if you’re on the floor that we do this little ‘crowded elevator dance,’ and someone is courteous enough to get off to let others by, let the kind man/woman back on before you try to get on, you fucking savages.
5. walking into the building, if you see an elevator in your elevator bank closing, let it go. chances are that the people who got on the elevator when it first arrived have been waiting for quite sometime because of jackasses like you, who feel you need to catch the elevator that was about to leave, keep showing up. if you’re that much in a hurry or are late, its your own damn fault, own up to it, and realize that being another 2 minutes late isn’t going to kill you.
6. get off the damn cell phone, asshole.
