I wonder why when the little bell dings to signal that the elevator has arrived, that most people rush to the doors before they even open. Isn't there like a 90% chance that someone is in the elevator and is going to need out before anyone else can get on? It is always amusing to me when these elevator crowders then react in shock that someone is actually in the elevator needing to get out. Then they say something like, " Oh, excuse me" and back frantically away from the doors. Is this there first time using an elevator or are they just in that big of a hurry? I bet if you did some kind of lab experiment involving electric shock and some kind of reward, you would probably still find a majority of people rushing to the doors.
I don't know, just a thought.

Or...what about when you are on the elevator with a bunch of people and when the door opens you automaticly get off and then realize it is the wrong floor that you got off to early.
Yes!! that is hillarious. When other people get off on the wrong floor and have to turn around and get back on it, I can barely hold in my laugh. It's such the walk of shame. It would be better to head right for the stairs, than to turn around and get back on the elevator. Even if you are on the 30th floor.
Another cohort that I have always been mystified by is the one floor riders (OFR). They are the people that when faced with the decision to walk up 12 steps or ride the elevator, they ride the elevator every time. I really think someone should take the time to examine the mind of the OFR. Is their act based out of pure audacity? Laziness? Low self esteem? Do they really feel that the challenge of 12 steps is too much? Or is it a pure hate crime? There are so many questions that I feel need to be answered.
There is hope for the stairs still. there are people in this world that are not only afraid of elevators but even more so afraid of the OFR and the crowders of this world.. So join the odd ones of this world and give the lonely un-crowded stairs the tromping they so desire.
