I feel like a sense of elevator etiquette in the office or other similarly busy environments is pretty standard...

- Always wait for people to exit before you get in
- Get in and face the front
- Turn your music off and/or end phone conversations
- When the elevator arrives at your floor, let the females off first
- Don't fricking go up or down one floor. Just don't. Take the stairs. Unless you're handicapped obviously.

Am I being extreme by getting ticked off at people who violate this? It's always the guys in IT on our third floor who don't follow the so called etiquette. Our building is over 15 stories and they get in on the 3rd to go down to the 2nd for a meeting when we have people on the top floor going down to the lobby.

Take the stairs. Elevators are so 90’s.

You forgot - walk in and immediately ask stranger to pull finger when doors close.

No one does this any more and it drives me up a wall.

I always look up so I can see where I am going.

Why do we still have to do this in this age of "women empowerment" and me are all "misogynist a-holes"? They're all supposed to be powerful, strong women now that don't need our help.

I always jump up right before the elevator stops at a floor so I can feel the gravitational burn.

Sometimes I yell "YESSSSSSSS!" when I nail the landing.

If there's nobody in the elevator with you, that's a good time to blow one out and leave it in there for the next occupant.

I'm in a building full of law firms. It amazes me that they will continue talking about a case on an elevator.

Unless you are in the middle. The people in the middle get out first no matter the sex.
