1. If someone is seconds away and you can see them, it is acceptable for you to hold the door.
2. It is not okay for you to hold me hostage in the elevator while you hold the door for a friend that you "know is coming".
3. It is not okay to have a "quick conversation" with someone not riding the elevator while holding the door so long the buzzer on the elevator goes off!

I have been on an elevator in the office when this was happening and someone else on the elevator literally shoved the person off the elevator and hit the close button. Dude is an office hero.

If someone is standing in front of the elevator waiting I'm going to walk up and hit the button again because that makes it come faster.

I like to rip a loud fart to establish dominance once the door closes

Let people get off the elevator before you get on.

For most people it's "rush in the door as soon as it opens."

Have been in some countries where an individual will push down to bring the elevator down to him.

Do they pull up if they are on the top floor?

Years ago, I was in an elevator in Boston and some woman was doing exactly what you are complaining about (holding the door for her friends who "should be here any second now"). After the gaggle of dimwits all got in, she pressed the button for the top floor, then complained that someone was only going to the third floor (actually, the only other occupants of the elevator were all going to the third floor). As we were all getting off, she made a comment that we should have taken the stairs, and this little old lady who was one of the last to get off, quietly reach over and pressed the buttons for all twelve remaining floors just before the doors closed behind her. I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

I save mine up for when I know I need to take a trip up or down. Then I make a deposit as I leave and send it on it's way for the next person.

The old cabbage capsule is a solid way to mark your territory if you're in an unoccupied elevator

It's kinda like 'swipe left'.. does that mean move your finger from right to left, which allows you to see what is to the right of current screen, or move finger left to right which allows you to see images to the left of current screen.

I hate to break this to you, but the reason why you have your own "private elevator" i.e., why your boss forces you to use the freight elevator out back, is because you're fat (given your username) and can't fit into the regular one and/or exceed the elevator's weight limit.

It's also possible you smell.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Not possible. That's guaranteed.

I have never understood why people rush onto an elevator before people get off. How does that make it any faster? Now we all have to wait for you to back up to let the rest of the people off.

In Japan, when an elevator door opens on the ground floor of a tall building, women will race each other to be able to hold the door open for the rest of the riders. It's one of the wierder things about Japan. Well, that, and the fact you can buy pre-worn women's panties out of a vending machine.

No no. You should never fart in an elevator. Always wait and let it go as you are leaving the elevator.



Extra credit: Look over your shoulder and grin at those still on board as you walk away.
