I could post thousands of entries about breaches in elevator etiquette, but there's one particular faux pas that's really pissing me off today: people who march in to the elevator and just expect someone else to push the button for them. This is especially annoying when the person is on a cell phone and dressed in bigshot clothing. For those a-holes, I almost expect a tip from them when they leave, because clearly I am being treated as their subordinate, a nothing, a nobody. (The tip would probably be a $1 bill, though, because, while their shoes are Jimmy Choos and cost $1,000, they are cheap when it comes to rewarding people who provide services for them.)Here's a tip for everyone reading (which, I'll be the first to admit, is probably nobody): push your own goddamn button when you get into the elevator, and if someone does push it for you, remove your stupid-ass Bluetooth from your head long enough to make eye contact with the person who just did you a favor, and say "Thank you".
Jerk.
