If you’re living in a dorm or have a class building with lots of floors, chances are that you’ve taken the elevator at some point. Currently living on the eighth floor, I know all too well the difficulties of taking the elevator:
20. The Wait
Why does it have to take so long?
19. The Person Making a Really Loud Phone Call
I can hear everything you’re saying.
18. Gross Couples
If you’re going to your room, can the slobberfest really not wait until you get there?
17. Running into Someone from the Weekend
The guy I hooked up with lives upstairs. Great.
16. Nasty Surprises
From beer cans, to puke, to used condoms, you never know what’s behind those doors.
15. The Person Going to 2
If you’re not disabled, just take the stairs.
14. People Screaming “Hold it!”
If you’re close by, fine. If you’re all the way down the hall, I’m closing the doors.
13. When They See you Coming and Don’t Hold the Door
The five seconds it would take for me to get there couldn’t possibly hold you up that much.
12. Getting Crammed in
Claustrophobia to the max.
11. Thinking it Might be Easier if you Took the Stairs
Try and forget that thought.
10. Someone who Smells Bad
Close quarters and bad smells=a recipe for annoyance.
9. When They Break
Can’t wait to take eight flights of stairs!
8. People Talking Between You
Can’t you just finish the conversation when we get downstairs?
7. When Someone Farts
Hopefully you won’t have a long ride.
6. Getting told, “It’s Going Up,” When You Need to go Down
The worst feeling in the world when you’re late.
5. Stopping at Every Floor
This is why I try to live on lower floors.
4. Talking Elevators that Say What Floor You’re On
Am I the only one who is extremely freaked out by this?
3. When Strangers Start Talking to You
I get that you want to be nice, but I don’t know you.
2. Not Being Able to Fit
We’re gonna need a bigger elevator.
1. They’re Slow
We’ll get to the lobby…eventually.
