I had a friend back home who always stood by the button panel in an elevator. Why? "To dodge the hail of bullets intended for me that will kill all of you guys". He said this only half-jokingly. Clearly he watched one too many movies.

Worst part is ever since he said that I do the same thing too. Something my inner 10 year-old boy can't shake.

Damn. Sorry, OP that you had a bad experience.

I've usually had strange elevator encounters (weird foreigner visiting, some kid/adjosshi spitting all over (I mean EVERYWHERE) inside the compartment.

Next time you experience that, you could just let out a "Ya" so that they at least turn around and notice you. Ride the elevator down with them. Get to know their car so you can watch for them in the future.

Bad behavior is bad behavior. Unfortunately in this country, it isn't about who offends, its about whoever gets angry first loses

They only have the signs at the hospital so that people from out of state will know how to mind their manners...especially the injured ones fromthat state up north that has 2 parts to it, one of which is shaped like a hand with webbed fingers. they say that it's a "mitten." They seem to get hurt a lot when they come to Ohio and Wisconsin, don't they?

Hey, Kool Keith made a song about this.

They have the "Take the Stairs" signs in Korea too, I'd say in the majority of the apartment (not officetel) buildings I've been in.

People from Ohio talk big up until they go to the D.

I think it's time to bring back the spirit of Stevens T. Mason and have head South for some regime change down there. Our crack forces can be on the outskirts of Sandusky by nightfall. We'll be greeted as liberators. Toledo and Perrysburg already have proven their loyalties- thy support the Big Cats, not the Wahoos.

When Ohio and Michigan were territories there was some kind of small war between the farmers and when the dispute was settled, Ohio got the area where Toledo is and Michigan got the upper peninsula. Clearly, we Ohioans who are now stuck with Toledo, got the raw end of that deal.

I just discovered another elevator at my train station. I thought that only the main entrance had one. Now I can get my bike over the subway tracks without having to lug the thing (I think that it's made of black holes, it's so heavy) up and down 3 flights of stairs twice a day.

WAHOO!

Even if the subway car is full or the elevator is crowded, a line-up is a line-up. Cutting in line is insulting to those waiting in line and just generally rude. Sense of entitlement.

I walk and stand to block people from cutting in line whenever possible. I don't care about age or status. That's a Korean thing.
