The average person pushes an elevator button 6 or 7 minutes before realizing it's not working. I did a study on this, you know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button.
If you're lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down.
I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.
If I have to move up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.
Hold the door for a lady. Wait until a lady is out of the elevator.
I mean if someone you know pushes a button you're gonna strike back out.
Usually, the energy in elevators is so awkward; I mean, I can't imagine the politics in the ones in the Conde Nast building.
It's different for every project. Some parts are quicker than others to get and know; sometimes right up until the last moment you're just praying that something will click. But you can only do a certain amount of work and then at some point you've got to think: 'OK, I'm just going to have to leap now.'
It usually takes two people a little while to learn where the funny buttons are and testy buttons are.
I recommend people develop a fear of elevators, like I have. Even if something is on the tenth floor, I'm walking up. If you don't have claustrophobia, pretend you do and take the stairs everywhere! It ends up being so healthy!
