I need to say something about this, because it makes me mad when people say shit like that.
How do you know the person doesn't have a legitimate reason to be taking the elevator?
I remember I lived on the 13th floor of a 15 floor res hall my frosh year. There was usually only 1 or 2 elevators working, and a line out the front door of the lobby to go up. Those of us that lived on the top 10 floors used to not let in people that lived in the bottom 5, or not let them off and make them ride with us and then get their floor on the way back down for being lazy asses.
Well, I sure did learn my lesson about being an asshole. During my winter break I tore my ACL and when I came back I couldn't do a single flight of stairs up or down if you PAID me. Well, my big sis lived 2 floors above me and if I wanted to see her, I had to take the elevator. People used to get PISSED about me getting on at the 13th floor to go up to 15, or even worse, when I stopped the elevator at 13 to get off when I came down. The brace I had to wear for it was very streamlined, so it didn't show under my pants. I looked like a perfectly healthy person.
One day, I got on the elevator with these two infamous bithes from the 14th floor and one of them says to me.
"You fucking lazy ass, next time take the elevator up to 15 instead of making us stop one more time."
I was LIVID. I actually pulled DOWN my pants AND brace to show her the brusing and stuff that was on my leg from the injury. I told her to lose her attitude or else once my knee was better I'd kick her ass.
Just be more tolerant, you don't know if some of the people taking the elevator up a floor or two have a leg or hip injury, or maybe asthma that prevents them from taking the stairs.
