    I blows my mind how many adults don’t know this. The way I was raised, I’d be embarrassed to get in someone’s way as they tried to exit an elevator. But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing and we’ve clearly given up on that.

      Funny, I never saw it as a decency thing, more utilitarian. It’s a waste of effort to try to cram myself into an already occupied box (unless there are occupants staying in the box, of course).

      Same with trains. Nobody in my city seems to get that. I just barge my way through them crowded at the entrance if I’m getting out

      It’s wild when I see people just shove onto an elevator like my dude. The hell. Why. And they get mad when we’re all annoyed at them!

        At an airport there was a long wait and elevator was packed. My father in law and kids all got in, and now it’s full then it goes to next floor and more people cram in. Now it is over stuffed. Goes to another floor and my father-in-law was fed up, when the doors opened he shoved the front people out and said this is where you get off and hit door close. They were saying “hey this isn’t my floor”.

        Poor etiquette on both sides but still makes me laugh.
