09/28/2004: "Elevator etiquette"
When you're waiting for the elevator, and the light above it dings and the doors open, what do you do?
If you immediately walk into it without waiting for people to get off, then I hate you.
Nothing drives me nuts more than people who don't seem to realize that there are people in the elevator who need to get off. Where do you think the elevator came from? Some magical dimension where it was waiting empty until you pushed the "up" button?
This rant comes from getting knocked in the head today by some idiot girl who started walking into the elevator before the doors were even fully open. I was standing right in the middle of them trying to walk out, and BAM, idiot girl strikes.
This rant also applies to any other sort of enclosure that people might be getting off of while you're trying to get on, such as the bus. It makes perfect sense; people have to empty out to make room for you to get on.
