An idea!
Posted in Blah Blah Blah by Donna on October 30th, 2006
I have an idea that will either brand me a genius or ridiculously anal retentive. Elevators should be equipped with a carpet that is emblazoned with circles showing where riders should stand. The circles can even have numbers in the middle of them showing where the first person should stand and the second, third, and so forth. This will make it easier for everyone because there will be no question as to where riders should stand AND it will stop all the Japanese people from crowding into the elevator even after it has been sufficiently filled to capacity. All one would need to do is look down at the carpet. They will see that there aren’t anymore circles left to stand in and they will wait for the next elevator.

How about a Twister pattern on the carpet and a spinner on the wall where the buttons are. Now that is not anal.

Pedestrians in Philly and New York pay no attention whatsoever to the “don’t walk” signs at street intersections. And riders in those burgs are supposed to follow instructions on where to stand in elevators? Those rules might work in Kansas, Toto, but in the Land Of Oz people do as they please.
But it does my heart good to know that there are people like you in this world, people who desire fairness and civility
from their fellow humans.

I’d like to see separate elevators (esp. in Europe) for those who use deodorant and those who don’t. Anyone who eats garlic and kielbassa must use the no deodorant lift. We are so lucky in the states not to have those strong odors assailing us.

Or all the superfluous Japanese people could step into the left breast pockets of the other riders for the duration of the elevator ride.
