Does anybody else take it personally when the lift says; "going down"?

    It really depends who's there with you...

    Other than that, don't take it personally, it might be a disappointment though on occasion (like, when I've been pressing the up button).

    If I press the Up button and it says "Going down" or if the Grim Reaper is standing there with you then I'd take it a bit personally

    Otherwise not really, if I press the down button and hear that I'll be quite relieved the elevator is going in the direction I want it to go

    If you've been waiting for one for a while at our place, it says "sorry to keep you waiting" when you get in. I always want to say "no you're fucking not"

    Was in a packed lift once when a large lady got in and the weight limit exceeded warning came on. A chap in the lift said "Don't worry Joan (not her real name), I'm only going one more floor, I'll walk down".
    He got out but much to Joan's embarrassment, the warning stayed resolutely on.

    You were going up in my estimation until you stated this thread.

    A man enters an elevator of a fine hotel and says "Ballroom please"

    To which the lady standing in front of him replies "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was crowding you."

    No wonder Grace Brothers closed down. Sheer idiocy to have ties on the first and second floors.
