Then the doors re- open and we all stand awkwardly in the elevator for an extra 15 seconds staring at the idiot who did it while the elevator stopper pretends to be oblivious to who this is inconsiderate and inconveniencing every one else? So annoying! You should have gotten there earlier like everyone else in the elevator did. Plus more elevators are coming - you don't have to get on this particular one!

Then you can say "oops sorry" as the doors close and you are on your way.

You look like the good guy, and you get to go.

You can't choose a floor once you're in the elevator, so without knowing what floor you're going to latecomers are better off just calling the next elevator. I no longer feel obligated to hold the door for anyone. Perfect.

Maybe we work together! Everyone in my building hates this system.

OP, you're the inconsiderate one. I bet you're pushing the door close button when you see someone rushing for the elevator. Why do they have to be a lazy fat ass to not want to wait for the next elevator (which in some buildings I've worked in, can take quite a while).

It's also the considerate thing to wait ffor the next elevator so as not to inconvenience other people.

I will confess, I've been known to "accidentally" hit the door close button.

I've also heard that if you keep holding the "door close" button, the elevator won't stop at other floors....instant express elevator!
