She was found in a fire escape stairwell, not a normal public one - but still 17 days!

This American takes them about 35,000 times a day at work (and a few more times daily at the homestead).

Just wanted to point out that some of us are still mobile.

You could ask the same question about Koreans.

80% of the time i walk up to my place on the 15th floor. I only take the elevator when i'm carrying heavy stuff (bottles of water for example). So many koreans take the elevator up to only the 2nd or 3rd floor. I feel like kicking them in the backside and telling them to take the stairs.
