Another common occurrence that makes me mad is people who want to go UP entering an elevator that's going DOWN, when the downward traveling elevator stops due to some people (coming from the upper floors) exiting it.
- brewdad 4y agoI've done that during exceptionally busy times, like dorm moving day. If I wait for the elevator to be going my way on its return, it will already be full and I'll be left standing in the hall. Of course, I think everyone's probably done it at least once simply due to inattentiveness.
- Eisenstein 4y agoI'm confused. Elevator is going DOWN. Person wants to go UP. Presses UP button and elevator stops and lets someone off (not in response to a call). Person who wants to go UP doesn't notice it wasn't a call response and gets in elevator and notices it is going DOWN. Waits the entire DOWN cycle and then presses desired floor button. Elevator is now in UP mode. What's the problem?
- meindnoch 4y agoThe problem is that they unnecessarily increase the crowdedness, and make it more complicated for people to get out on the lower floors.
- kapep 4y agoAlso if there are multiple elevators, the one you actually called might stop unnecessarily. Overall it's the same amount of stops regardless whether you take the right or the wrong one. But for some reason being in an elevator that stops without anyone getting in or out irks me.
