If you decide to hog your building's elevator, you can't be surprised when it takes ages to get to the ground floor!
In Chicago, for example, elevator usage in offices rose a whopping 301% between January to October 2021. Hotels also saw their elevator usage be impacted greatly by the pandemic. In September 2019, hotels had an average of 22,000 uses per elevator. Yet by April 2020, this dropped drastically to only 2,500 starts per month. But regardless of how little these elevators were used during that time, it’s a great thing that they exist.
As with anything else in life, there’s some etiquette that you might need to know to appropriately ride in an elevator., an American company that installs elevators, has detailed some of the most important dos and don’ts of riding in an elevator on their site. First, they mention that if you’re only traveling up or down two stories, you should probably just take the stairs. There’s no need to hold everyone else up by stopping at every other floor.
Another factor to consider when riding in an elevator is where to position yourself. It’s recommended that if there are only two of you riding, you might want to stand on opposite sides. If there are three or four passengers, it’s wise to stick to corners. And if there are five or more riders, just try to space yourselves out evenly and face the door.
If you have to be on the phone while riding in an elevator, try to keep your voice down and refrain from revealing any information that might make others in the elevator uncomfortable. Better yet, just tell whoever you’re talking to that you’ll call them back soon. And when it comes time to exit the elevator, if it’s full and you’re stuck at the back, just politely alert the other riders.We would love to hear your thoughts on this situation in the comments below, pandas.
