Lifts

I find it funny seeing the fat people standing waiting for the lift. Really feel like telling them to use the stairs - it looks like they need the exercise :)

Long hair with a scruffy appearance with music/geky t-shirts? I've met 1 of those, I don't know where the rest are. It's a poor stero type people give of us :(

Out of my team I have me (footballer) Trojan off these forums (who does Ju Jitsu), another footballer who goes to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, the lad that sits next to him who used to go every day and now goes twice a week or so, another who goes running/biking/gym every day and a bit of a fat biffa who is a member of a gym but never goes.

None of us have long hair, none of us wear sandals with socks...

Why do we all get in do a 180 and stare at the doors and not make a noise?

It makes the lift go faster if you stare intently at the doors, have you never heard of that theory about a watched pot? Well it's like that but in reverse, that's what the 180 at the start does. ;)

I don't know about that, maybe it is just games geeks but I'd guess that 1/3 to 1/2 match the description of long hair, rather scruffy and not infrequently with somewhat questionable ideas about what constitutes adequate hygiene. Almost invariably perfectly nice folks but you can easily see where the stereotypes come from.
 
By the way, never did say that there were lots of the stereotypes, just there are some. ;)

Mostly though everyone here is probably a lot more into exercise etc. than most of the 'normal' offices I've worked in. But our little office of IT Techs has mostly people that don't exercise (me included, but I'm not unhealthy, or fat. :p), I'm just not into doing sports and can't be bothered to sign up to a gym.

I never go in lifts. I hate people and small spaces. By the top it would probably look like a scene from an American school shooting. Good job I'm not a city boy and don't have the oppertunity to ride in them anyway.
 
well maybe they tired maybe they were doing something before and now they have an option to go up with a lift and could be bothered going up stairs.

there are more and more technology that requires less movement from human. i bet in some million years we will evolve in some slob :D

I don't care to be quite honest, if the technology is there then use it. People in third world countries never get to use lifts, so milk it :D
 
What really irritates is people doing this in hospitals, especially the Royal Liverpool Uni when my dad was in there a few years ago. They've two sets of lifts there, one for passenger use, the others marked "Staff Use Only", that are obviously sized for taking a patient on a gurney. However, during visting times the passenger elevators would get really crowded, thus you'd get people I can only describe as deeply selfish, inconsiderate and impatient using the staff only elevators. Incidentally, one of the reasons these were set aside for staff use, in addition to moving gurneys was also for crash teams to move between floors with their equipment quickly, meaning those using them were potentially placing people's lives in danger.
 
In my last building we had no option but to take the lift. The stairs were strictly for Fire evacs only. So the lifts were continously held up by Accenture lot (damn you PeterNem) going from 5 to 6 or 6 to 7 etc etc and we were on the 4th. BAH!
 
Yup, this annoys me greatly as well. Particularly when I see fat people doing it. Use the ****ing stairs and you might not be such a lard-ass, fatty!
 
Im determined not to use a lift at uni this year! Im either on the third or fourth floor for eveything. But ive made a pact with myself to not use any lifts
