Maybe they were trying to help you out by reaching for the "door open" button but didn't make it in time. Anyway, the "close door" button, as we all know, is just for looks. It doesn't even work.



Because in our elevator, when you push a button it lights up, bright ass!

Thanks folks I know the deal about the metro and that's why I usually ride using the Ergo. Now, thinking again I believe it's the same kind of people here in my building and the self absorbed folks in the metro. It makes sense. Exactly the same behavior!

21:48 you're right. Most of them are white handsome young guys. Poor girls who get involved with them! They're so rude!

21:54 this is my to go phrase, believe me! But sometimes they're so rude and they don't even look up so there's no way to ask for anything. Do you believe that one time I asked (exactly like you said) and the guy pretended he didn't hear me???? Yup, they can be really rude when they want to.


Yeah. You don't sound very pleasant. At all. PP was just trying to understand your argument and you came off waaaaay fucking defensive.

I understand that there are some rude people, but I think that you are a very sensitive, unhappy person. It seems that you're assuming that everybody doesn't want you in the elevator... which is kind of a stretch. But maybe not, cuz you kinda seem rude and weird. Good luck!

I have never been on an elevator where the "close door" or "open door" buttons light up. Don't buy the story.

OP, I was going to post my sympathies until I read your replies to other posters in this thread.

You sound like a nut. Take the stairs and spare others your insanity.

Sorry, I thought you were being left outside the closed elevator door. But gee, thanks for calling me an ass. You sound really polite and sweet. I can't imagine why anybody would see you and think "oh shit, I have to ride the elevator with her again." Must be the baby. Mmm-hmm.


I thought this, too. OP, I bet you have quite the reputation in your building.

(And where is this 20 story apartment building near the metro?)


At Grosvenor there are quite a few apartment and condo buildings that are 20- 20+ floors.

I always try to hold the elevator for people I know are coming or if I see someone carrying many packages. But for the ppl who like to shove their hands in at the last minute when the doors are closing and then wonder why they are given dirty looks...stop wondering because its rude just wait for the next one!

No way! PP called me a liar making assumptions.

"How do you know?" I know because I saw the button lighting up with his finger on it. That's how I know.

It's just so weird that people around here have such a hard time empathizing with others... I mean, aren't we all moms? Don't we all go through the same experiences? Isn't it why we're here anyway?

I thought we had to support each other, right? That's why we get such nasty attitude all over the place. People all over have a very hard time walking on others' shoes even when they're the the same size and color!

How come it's easier for you to justify this guys attitude instead of commiserating with a fellow mom when chances are you've been through some similar experience? I just don't get it!

LOL I have a lot of time on my hands today, right?

I think "how do you know?" wasn't intended to call you a liar. I think she was asking because we're not there to see how the elevator is laid out. So yeah. And even if she was challenging you, all you had to do was answer the question instead of jump into name calling.

And from what I gathered, you weren't just talking about one person. You insinuated that everybody seems to do this to you. I sympathize about the rude guy. I would be pissed too. But to say that everybody does this, is a bit much. But then again, maybe you were having a bad day? Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, it's easy to misconstrue other peoples actions.

Don't get me wrong PP. It's not everybody. When we need the elevator during the day I ride mostly with maintenance folks and cleaning crew. They're so pleasant and helpful; the late night pizza guys too! The only rude people ride early morning and early evening. They're much more fun when they ride drunk on the weekends

I hear ya about the drunk people. When I was dating my husband, he lived in Adams Morgan. There were always drunk people in the elevator. And sometimes there would be puke. I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with a stroller then. That would've been awful!

OP, you're the poster who in a previous thread promised to run over other riders on the Metro is they didn't make room for you and your stroller, aren't you? I think I recognize your writing "style." Glad to see you haven't changed.
