What is up with people and elevators? Living in a dorm myself I come and
go almost daily and the one way I make it to the 10th floor is by the
common use of the elevator. Seriously, an elevator is the one place
where your personal space does not matter at all. The door opens and
people get in on the first floor. Probably about 5 people get into this
legally 15 cap silent shrine of destiny that rises everyone up to the
vertical limit of their so called "rooms." When the transport ship stops
on a another floor and more people come in, everyone makes room even if
there is none. "Oh sure come on in so we can be a centimeter from
touching each other." Its hot/humid, you are basically face first into
the hair of the person in front of you. 9/10 it is a morning class and
its anywhere between 8-11 am they haven't showered or showered within
the last few days. The stench is unbearable and does anyone say
anything? NO ! This is how A.D.D we college students are. We ALL STARE
AT THE
lil LIGHTS THAT POP UP FOR THE FLOORS. We are in a elevator we are
either going up or DOWN. Seriously people do we think that we are going
to Texas or China" Do we have to look up to see if we are going to the
right place? We KNow where we are going! All you need to do is look up
ONCE!. Or count the beeps do some math in your head maybe that will keep
you away from A.D.D .
So no one talks in elevators. We are all silent as mice in this death
contraption of texting and A.D.D. What are we as a human race coming to
that a simple conversation of "hello how are you" or "The weather is
nice outside" People aren't open anymore no one wants to talk to anyone.
We all have places to go, people to text, and showers (that we aren't
taking). NO NO i dont understand people in elevators its just plain old
weird. We lose are personal space , our minds, and our lives just using
this simple transit up and down...up and down.

This sadly is exactly like my elevator ride i take all the time in my dorm. i feel stupid staring at the light, and i definetly do not shower before my 8:30 class. anytime im on the elevator, im about to get on it and im talking to my friends while waiting for it. however, as soon as we step on the elevator we stop convo even if we are mid sentence and then as soon as we get off we continue. its like a death chamber that we are forced to enter all the time! i loathe the elevator!
Hahahaa....I never thought about that.It is really weird that noone talks on the elevator it is just an ackward silence unless there is a group of friends on the elevator all at once.Also it is kinda like that on the PRT. It is always so quiet and you are afriad to talk because then everyone is listening to your conversation.
This entry made me laugh because I also live higher up in a dorm and always have to use the elevator. It's hilarious watching people get angry as the elevator stops at every floor on the way up, or on the way down. I have seen people just get off at random floors because they get so annoyed. I have to say I am guilty of watching the numbers light up, but I just want to get to 9 so i can get off the elevator.
This would be like saying why don't we talk to everyone that we pass throughout the day. Seriously we are in the elevator a what whole 2 minutes there isn't going to be conversations in that time. Maybe a hi, but honestly we all say that now not caring. So whats it matter if we talk in elevators.
haha, i dont need the elevator but when i go to my friends floor (8) it is definitely like this. I agree wtih talking to your friends and stopping convo on the elevator then continuing when you get off. It is very awkward and people do get frustrated stoping at so many loors before theres. I get a kick out of it.
