how to get onto an elevator

gmoney has been an inspiration to all of us, hence this thread

today i'm waiting for an elevator inside the metlife building. the elevator doors open, and two gentlemen get out. as soon as they get out the lift, they just stand there side by side, so that no one can get into the cabin. the doors shut behind them. press the call button again, and gotta wait a bit longer... everyone that was waiting for the elevator was fuming cuz of these two herbs

Elevator Etiquette

http://www.canoe.ca/LifewiseWorkEti...uette2-par.html

TAKE THE STAIRS
If you are only going up one floor or down two floors (obviously easier than going up), you haven't any heavy packages to carry and you are physically able, you really should take the stairs. It's rude to make other people wait or to delay their necessary trip up or down just because you are lazy.

HOLD THE DOOR
If you are inside the elevator and see someone running for the elevator, resist the urge to push the "close door" button repeatedly and quickly. Instead, hold the door for them. And, if you are one of many waiting to get on the elevator, hold the door open and let others (men, women, old or young, it doesn't matter) get on before you do.

MAKE ROOM
If others are getting on the elevator, back up or to the sides and make room. If you are the person getting on the elevator and others have made room for you, you should either step out of the elevator when it stops or step aside to let those at the back of the elevator off if need be.

MAKE EYE CONTACT
It is not always necessary to make conversation with everyone you meet on an elevator but it is polite to at least look at people and maybe smile. You never know who is standing next to you (the bosses spouse, a new client) and some friendly acknowledgement might send the right impression.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
Nowhere is the old adage of "if you can't say anything positive say nothing at all", more appropriate than in an elevator. You really never do know who is listening. And in close quarters where it's hard not to listen, it is especially important to be careful what you say.

Unfortunately for you a got a 1420 on the SAT and a 166 on the LSAT, both of which are above the 95th percentile. So its not that I am stupid, but rather that your level of intellegence is so far beneath mine that you cannot comprehend what I am saying.

Why oh why didn't you push them aside with one of those offended "Excuuuse meee"? Only sensible thing to do in that situation.

On a related note, one thing that I cannot stand is slow people that have to get in front of a line. For instance, when waiting to cross the street I sometimes experience that these old people will squeeze in front of everybody, and end up constitute an obstruction to everyone with a normal walking speed when the light switches. One would think that they were aware of their slowness, but maybe they're just getting some kind of perverse pleasure out of pissing everone else off.
It also happens sometimes just when getting off the subway or at the end of stairs/escalators, which seem to be the perfect spots for families and couples to get their bearings/debate where to go next.

And that's where it counts.

its not that the numbers means nothing...but tests are a challenge in academia. it certainly has nothing to do with being socially adept or being able to deal with things in real life. nor does it make u a nice person who is liked by everyone. some of the most booksmart ppl that i know are socially inept when it comes to meeting ppl and maintaining friendships/relationships. not saying anything bad, im just stating something i observed. ::shruggs::

You have somewhat of a good point here. On the otherhand, standardized test are the best objective measure for determining one's intelligence.
And I didn't list my numbers to impress you people, I was just debating with the guy who called me a stupid retard.

There is no good test for judging intelligence...... Some of the smartest people in the world have done the worst on test...

Idiot....
