Do you loathe elevators?

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 23 Sep 18

I've talked about this before. Since I had a dream about elevators last night (why am I always in a hospital when the elevators are stuck in my dreams?) , I thought I'd ask everyone here. Are you nervous around elevators? Do...

Escalators? Not for me.

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 11 May 18

I am mortified using these escalators although when I was holidaying abroad I had no choice but to use them. There was one time we had to carry our own luggage using the escalator. Nor do I like to use elevators. That too make...

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 30 Dec 17

I work in a hotel as some of you know. When kids are in the hotel it can be quite the ruckus going on. A lot of the little ones are fascinated by the glass elevator we have and are always begging to go on it. Unfortunately, the...

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 13 Jun 16

The lady assured me that help would come promptly and told me to call her back had I need of a distraction. I thought that her offering was quite kind but chose to keep myself busy by looking around the compartment. I thought...

A Memory in time : Hosptial Visit.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 13 Jun 16

I looked up as the metal doors closed, watching as the LED display flashed with each level I ascended. I hated elevators and none more so than those in hospitals. They always seemed colder somehow, and more jolting, as if it's...

Elevators, like I am, will you go in one if someone you know is there with you? I will only go into an elevator if someone I know is in the elevator with me. I also let them press the buttons and everything and I usually close my...

Do u use stairs in big buildings or u just hop in elevators or take escalators?

moneymakingtoday @moneymakingtoday (4061) • Philippines 29 Jan 10

Life is easier with the presence of things that make us comfortable. Elevators and escalators are surely a big help in going up tall buildings. I know for a fact that a chief nurse of a local hospital does her rounds climbing...

candymarie @candymarie (1368) • Canada 17 Jul 09

So, I've been noticing this a lot at where I work, most of the time if I notice they're not sure which way to go, I ask, verify, etc etc, and let them go on their way, sometimes going into the elevator if I have to go that way...

Walk to the right, pass to the left?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 5 Mar 09

Has anybody ever heard of this? When you're on an escalator, I was taught that it's polite to stand on the right hand side and use the left hand side if you want to walk and get there faster. But I see people stand on both sides...

Have you ever gotten stuck in an Elevator?

hdjohnson @hdjohnson (2981) • United States 2 Feb 09

Riding the elevator one day, it stopped in between floors, why, due to some technical difficulty I'm sure. It started up after 30 to 45 minutes later. Talk about freaky experience. We couldn't do anything. I wasn't alone, but it...

When you get onto an elevator, where do you stand? I usually press the button then go to the back of the elevator.

Does it bother you to ride in an elevator? Do you go out of your way not to?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 20 Oct 07

Elevators never bothered me in the least but at one time my mother wouldn't get in one no matter what floor she had to go to. I remember one time she made me walk up 12 flights of stairs in a building because she would not use the...

what is the proper response when you're in an elevator and the person you're in it with farts and it smells super disgusting. I usually act like I don't smell it, but I get sick of trying to have nice manners when people keep...
