Can I please get OUT of the fucking elevator because you come pushing and shoving your way in………this is directed to about 80% of the the people using them in that building. You’re all crazy. I just want to walk off the elevator without fear of being cloths lined or shanked for the next good spot….
That’s all.
–Don’t tell me to take the stairs.

Here’s elevator etiquette 101 people. The ones that are waiting for said elevator when the doors open, let the people that are in it off, then get in. Don’t argy bargy your way in when others are exiting like your time is more valuable than mine and that you are too important to wait till the lift is empty. Jesus those type of assholes piss me off to no end.
And stay out of the men’s washroom there!
“fear of being cloths lined or shanked for the next good spot”
There’s a ‘good’ spot in steel box?
I haven’t been to SS in years, it’s really that bad?
Just put your hand up in front of their face and keep walking forward…they will recoil from the touch of a strangers possibly germ filled hands. Make sure you start coughing loudly just as the doors open to really get the idea started.
which elevators are we referring to here? there are several in each tower you see….
I certainly enjoy the duke tower ones more than the cogswell or ones by Timmy’s.
some people’s children… ug.
Just yell “MOVE!” and barge through. If you do it long enough they’ll take a hint, as roughly the same people may have the same schedule as you.
If not, I’m sure they’ll get out of the way if you yell at them.
This is a pet peeve of mine also; it used to happen a LOT in Purdy’s on a daily basis! It got to a point where I’d stand directly in front of the doors, puff my chest out, raise the elbows and just pull a Bro Tim.
If it was a “play the background day” I merely snapped, “CAN I GET OUT OF THE FUCKING THING BEFORE YOU CATTLE BARRELL ON? ITS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!”
The lawyers and CEOs quickly took notice.
You could always fake puking – start making the chugga chugga sounds and the heaving etc. – guaranteed free passage. Or hold an animated arguement with yourself, one hand talking to the other.
is that anything like the ooogachaka oogachaka sounds at the beginning of David Hasselhoff’s “hooked on a feelin’ video?
that may just work
