Full Elevators

If anyone tries to ride the elevator in the middle of the day from the 2nd floor, then you are familiar with this:



or..this:


(Yes, that is Point Park...)


We are all impatient. Especially when you are done classes for the day or you have somewhere to be. It's obviously so frustrating for anyone in Lawrence Hall trying to get anywhere in the middle of the day, and that leads to becoming desperate for an elevator. Point Park kids don't mind squeezing 15 or 20 people on one elevator just to get to their destination, and by now, everyone should be used to it. However, if you are riding the elevator up, then take the elevator up. Please do not hit both buttons, wait for the one that comes first and then clog the elevator. Although it is tempting to jump on a down elevator after waiting 10 minutes to go up a few floors, I'm sure the people on the first floor don't appreciate an elevator showing up with 30 people in it. I mean, they could always ride the elevator down to the basement first, but just think about those in the rec center? They have nowhere to go...except up. And it is going to take them twice as long if everyone from floors 1-4 is in the elevator after their workout. Nobody wants to be shoved in an elevator with sweaty people and 10 other musical theatre majors...that's just no fun for everyone. So if we all just wait two more minutes for the elevator that is going up, we would all be a little less frustrated in a little less smelly elevator.
