re: Office elevator etiquette - do you follow it?

We had a very awkward elevator situation in one of the six in our bank of elevators when we moved to a new building.

Only one elevator goes down to the parking garage and it has front AND back doors. the back door opens in the garage.

at the end of the day, folks on the elevator are going to the lobby and the garage. no one knows where to face.

Some folks split the difference and face sideways—a trying-too-hard effort at being polite.

After months of observation, most folks commit to face their direction of exit. Backs to other riders be damned!
