[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 181979"] There's a crowd mentality to that. People are like cattle in those situations. If there are only a couple of people waiting on the elevator, I've noticed it doesn't happen. But, if there are several it does. I've missed my floor because I couldn't get off with everyone barging into the elevator. I really don't like having to brush my entire body up against strangers just to get off the elevator. This is the same reason I hate going to the mall. People are walking 4 wide and they just mow down anything in their path. It used to make me a nervous wreck when my kids were little because people would cut off my kids from me. I never go to the mall on the weekend anymore. I've found Wednesday evening's to be the quietest time for shopping about anywhere around here. And the cellphones. I hate them. I don't have one. If I'm not at home or at work, then you don't need to talk to me. I don't think it should be legal to use them while driving either. 99% of the time when I get cut off, the other driver is yakking away on their cell. Or they tailgate. Tailgaters make me nervous anyway, but if they're on the phone you know they're going to be too distracted to stop fast enough. And I have NO desire to hear their conversation while I'm trying to do my errands. You forgot one point, though. Those that talk in public places with their cell on speaker or two-way. You feel like you're eavesdropping, but it's so loud that you're going to hear no matter what you do. It's really uncomfortable. easy child is saving up to get a cellphone. If he talks on it while driving, he will lose his keys. I do have to say that it is a bit different in the South. When I was overdue pregnant with easy child, I went with my mother in law to a doctor appointment. Every seat in the waiting room was taken. As soon as we walked in, almost every man stood up so we could sit down. [/QUOTE]
