I wonder if terrorists have ever hi-jacked an elevator!.!.!.knocking out the self-appointed person, who is controlling the floor button options and taking over the controls!.!.!.I mean,what could they possibly hope to accomplish,on such a short trip!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can't get into a good conversation on an elevator, since you don't spend much time there unless you spend the day riding up and down the floors!.
People don't talk because they know they won't get to finish their conversation!. What is the average time a person rides the elevator!? Oh, I'd say 2 minutes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You also have to stare straight ahead or at the digital floor numbers as they count down/up while trying not to meet anyone's eye!.

There will be no shifting of your gaze to no one! That is deemed improper elevator etiquette and is met with unforgiving stern glances at the offender!.

lol ((((Fallen)))) Keep talking honey, they're just mad they can't be part of the conversation!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not at all, when I go to my office there is a gentleman that is always talking to himself and no one objects!.

We should never be loud, curse, or abusive in any way, we are in a public place which is a necessary object for many people!. We must respect the rights of others!.

Maybe they are looking at you because you are stating great words of wisdom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
