I’ve often wondered if the elevator could be calibrated to go to the top floor requested first, and then downwards, so that the lazy people taking the elevator to the second floor would be discouraged. But I guess that would be unfair to handicapped or disabled persons living on those floors.

Come on, people! Nobody breaks wind on an elevator on purpose. Yes, some people are just lazy and won’t walk stairs (if they are allowed per building rules) – but many people can’t do things that they outwardly seem to be able to do. Nobody stinks so much after exercising that they impact the others on an elevator ride. If they do, they stunk BEFORE they broke a sweat! Chill everyone, Chill!

You’re right MB.

Just shows that there are an abundance of people that complain about nearly anything.

Douglas: I don’t think it would be inappropriate to laugh or hold your nose.

I see nothing in regards to breaking wind. That happened to me today. (I didn’t pass it, thank you!) An older woman entered my elevator and when she turned to press the button, a little freep escaped.

I personally wouldn’t do something like that because I believe it’s not proper etiquette. But my question is, would it be inappropriate to laugh? I sure wanted to.

I can’t stand when people hurl themselves into a closing door so they can enter the elevator. It’s obnoxious and causes everyone in the elevator to be delayed because the person couldn’t wait for the next lift.

I never realized there are all these pent up emotions about fellow elevator riders and etiquette. Chill out people… You’re almost home!

“a little full of ourselves, aren’t we? I guess you don’t have any older people or children in your building – or something.”

Actually Andy, I thought this person was a little full of themselves: “Please don’t take the elvator immediately after running 20 miles or working out. If you’re that motivated to exercise, then you should be smart enough to save some energy at the end to take the stairs back to your floor. Can I get an AMEN?!!”

Hopefully we can ride in the same elevator together, I’ll be the sweaty guy who ran 20 miles that smells like roses.
