StairMaster yourself up 8-10 floors, wait there. You'll end up with an rear end you can bounce change off of.

I ain't waiting in a fuckin line to go to my goddamn front door. I used to do security at a hotel with 30+ floors and would sometimes go up manually for nothing other than to wake up.

I would gladly do that out of sheer impatience.

I'm thinking the trick is to literally just take the stairs up one floor. There'll be no line on that floor, and you'll get the elevator as soon as it passes.

So like, get in as it's coming back down, then stay in? That's line cutting and we'd kick you out.

If it's anything like my building you only have access to your floor and your fob won't get you anywhere but common areas or your floor. Taking the stairs is good for you anyway and more people should do it.

Assuming people are filling up the elevator on the ground floor to go up, it'll be full from everyone loading up on the ground floor, so you'll never be able to get in.

If they're not filling up the elevator, I dunno what the gently caress they're doing.

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Elevator Tactics, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Otis Elevator factories, and I have over 300 confirmed line skips. I am trained in elevator action and I'm the top rider in the entire US Elevator Forces. You are nothing to me but just another rider. I will skip the gently caress out of the line with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network consisting mostly of King REoL and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out your fob access to ALL FLOORS. You're loving climbing stairs now, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can skip elevator lines in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in skipping lines, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Elevator Repairman's Corp, and I will use it to its full extent to rescind your elevator privileges off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment about elevator etiquette was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo elevator cable grease all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving taking the stairs, kiddo.

I could totally see the HOA having like entire sections just devoted to elevator etiquette, with incredibly specific rules and stupid as gently caress fines associated with breaking them.

Midtown condos suck but downtown buildings can be just as bad. My friend used to rent in The Picasso and it's 4 elevators for 402 units.

Yeah, I lived in poo poo building outside Toronto in East York for a few years. Crap elevators, although I didn't use them much because I was ground floor. Although that just meant you had people trying to look in your windows constantly. That, and I woke up once to a crazy standing outside the bedroom window muttering crazy talk in the middle of the night. Fun!

Well, luckily the moving company broke every piece of glass I had when I moved from that place.

True story. When they showed up at the delivery point, the delivery guy hands me a box filled with glass shards and gives me a "I know, crazy right?!" look.

It honestly could be as simple as someone is moving in, and they don't have a freight elevator. I used to have a job that occasionally required packing out apartments/condos, and we would gently caress up everyone's day.

Elevators are expensive, regulating developers is hard. At least that's what I'd assume.

The taller a building gets the more total space from the lower floors gets used up by the plumbing/elevators/etc.

Friend of mine lived in one of the 40 story towers downtown Toronto. 4 elevators. 1 was commonly used for moving and maintenance. 1 was always done. Wasn't uncommon for there to be 2 elevators servicing like 500 people. It would routinely take him an hour to take his dog out to piss in the morning. His apartment also flooded one time which was on the 28th floor lol

Gah my life rn. Granted the building was erected in the loving 30s so an elevator at all must have been magic but there's no excuse to not have freight today

Take the stairs to the 1st floor, get into elevator on the way down, pretend that you forgot something openly and you need to go back up.

I wonder how many able-bodied people live on the 2nd or 3rd floor just sit there and wait 20 minutes.

Sorry I'm late to see your parents, spouse, but I had to wait in line 45 mins for the elevator and my knee has been acting up. What? They are leaving? Well, they can jump out the window and get to their car faster that way.

He would just force open the doors, grab a cable and shoot the end off to get sling-shotted upwards.

The resulting fatalities of the people currently riding the elevator would be marked down as obstructing justice and their surviving families would be charged accordingly.

Google tells me there's 37 floors with 888 rooms, so if you're like the 400+ peoeple who live past the 20th floor it's gonna suck to walk up everyday.
