<p>Where I work - we have 2 floors - only the 2nd floor isnt under the first floor. it's actually just next to it. Originally you could walk down 5-6 steps and you're there - but 51% of the people I work with have some sort of disability so they put in an "elevator" that goes down to the other floor - or side. It's really more lik a lift (but most call it an elevator) because it's not enclosed). I always walk outside and around to the other side of the building instead of taking the lift - because I don't have a disability and can use the steps outside of that side of the building to get there. </p>

Are the elevators usually crowded at the times you take them?</p>
<p>Also, an anecdote:</p>
<p>I lived on the 9th floor in a 12-story dorm in college, and the generally accepted practice was that people on floors 2 through 4 took the stairs (right next to the elevators). One time during the dinner rush to the dining hall, we're in a packed elevator going down, and the elevator stops on 2. 2 going down. As in, you could fall down to 1 with less time and effort than it takes to wait for the lift. This strikes a nerve. Before the doors are open, I say to the elevator crowd, "What kind of effing loser takes the elevator from 2?"</p>
<p>The doors open to reveal Steve Mocco, undefeated heavyweight NCAA champion Iowa wrestler. The elevator crowd looks at me and this one jerk gets this grin like he's about to relay to Mr. Mocco what I think of people who take the elevator from 2. I look at my roommate standing next to me and ask "Dude, why did you say that?"</p>
<p>I challenge you to get yourself into a more awkward elevator situation.</p> commented on 'Too Lazy to Take the Stairs, But Strangely Not Too Lazy to Write Extensively About Not Taking the Stairs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200d834f55d3069e22006-10-27T13:03:42Z2008-08-29T00:17:00Zas someone who works in an office where we are not allowed to take the stairs (top secret security measures,...<p>as someone who works in an office where we are not allowed to take the stairs (top secret security measures, seriously), i long for the day when i could forego the slow elevator and merrily skip up the two floors to my office. that said, if i was allowed to stair it, i probably would still take the elevator. might i also point you to your post of January 23 in which you relate a heartbreaking tale of awkward elevator conversation- just something else to consider in your grand debate...</p>Deacon Barry commented on 'Too Lazy to Take the Stairs, But Strangely Not Too Lazy to Write Extensively About Not Taking the Stairs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200d834bff56353ef2006-10-27T10:01:04Z2008-08-29T06:19:50ZDeacon Barryhttp://www.deaconbarry.blogspot.comElevator up.

Your use of the elevator in this case may inconvenience other people who can excusably take the elevator. As someone who works on the fifth floor of a building with notoriously slow elevators, it really bothers me when I have to stop at the first floor for someone who appears able to walk. But, if there are only 2 or 3 floors in your building (including yours), then screw walking. That's for dummies and/or the fully able. </p>Adam commented on 'Too Lazy to Take the Stairs, But Strangely Not Too Lazy to Write Extensively About Not Taking the Stairs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200d834f5489569e22006-10-27T03:47:08Z2008-08-29T11:57:35ZAdamI just read your title and realized that i'm not so witty after all.<p>I just read your title and realized that i'm not so witty after all.</p> commented on 'Too Lazy to Take the Stairs, But Strangely Not Too Lazy to Write Extensively About Not Taking the Stairs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200d834bfe9ac53ef2006-10-27T02:48:46Z2008-08-29T00:06:59ZSTAIRS, free exercise!<p>STAIRS, free exercise!</p>Adam commented on 'Too Lazy to Take the Stairs, But Strangely Not Too Lazy to Write Extensively About Not Taking the Stairs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200d834f5401869e22006-10-27T00:50:39Z2008-08-28T06:04:03ZAdamI'm not so sure you can claim efficiency as your motivation considering that in the time that it took you...<p>I'm not so sure you can claim efficiency as your motivation considering that in the time that it took you to draw out this diagrams, write up this post, post it and then check to see what various comments people are writing you could have asked at least 50 people in person. </p>
