what is it with elevators?
I know that there is a sociologist out there that can tell me why people lose there common sense on elevators, but until they come forward: What is wrong with these people!!??!!
Today’s exciting elevator ride consisted of Mr. Sweettooth (carrying 4 econo-sized tubs of laffy taffy) rushing to get on the elevator. Once he’s in, and pushes 11, he exclaims: “Wow, that doesn’t happen too often. I’m the last one on the elevator, and I’ll be the first one getting off.” My stop is on 12, and the other person in the car was getting off at 13.
Now, does he think that there is some weird psychic energy that forces people to get on to elevators in the order of there destination? All without verbal communication? If this is so, then why can’t we get that working on the highways?

last week I am in d-town Pittsburgh for a biz mtg. in an elevator headed to the top florr of the Frick bldg, a few floors up a man in a biz suit enters the lift I was in…after a few seconds there is an loud fart and complete silence…it was not me, he was the only other one in the lift, and as soon as he left it he pushed the next floor’s button and got of, leaving me with the “remains”…no common sense nor compassion there…just ignorance and a fould ordor

what is UP with people who rush to get ON the elevator before it’s completely open, so they can’t see that they’re about to ram into the people who first need to get OFF the elevator?
Happens to me daily. I’m the one trying to exit

“Wow, that doesn’t happen too often. I’m the last one on the elevator, and I’ll be the first one getting off.”
have you considered the possibility that he wasn’t talking about exiting the elevator?
like, maybe he’s got some weird taffy fetish. hell, are you even sure it was taffy?
