These are the rules, people! They're divided into four broad categories: Calling and Waiting, Boarding, Once the Doors Close (our personal favorite), and Exiting. Challenge time! See if you can match the rule to the category...
  1. Singing, humming, and whistling are generally discouraged.
  2. If you're only going up or down one floor, use the stairs.
  3. Always stand facing the door.
  4. If you're in a crowded elevator and have to leave, announce that it's your floor and excuse yourself.

Answers: 1. Once the Doors Close (duh!); 2. Calling and Waiting; 3. Boarding; 4. Exiting

We admit that number 3 is kind of tricky and easily falls in the Once the Doors Close category. We also admit that we occasionally break the "no re-pressing the floor button" rule.
