The Written: Elevator Etiquette Rules While waiting to board the elevator, stand away from the doors. Someone may be exiting at this floor, and you should always let them exit before you attempt to board. Hold the door if someone is coming in. It’s good elevator etiquette to hold the elevator for others getting on the elevator. Don't hold the door for minutes for a friend or colleague who has taken a quick "side-trip" such as to get coffee, go to the restroom, etc. Never hold the door more than 15-20 seconds on a crowded elevator. Break the ice politely if you wish. It never hurts to say "Good Morning" or "Hello" to people. Give people their space, if possible. There is nothing more annoying than having someone stand six inches from you on an un-crowded elevator.

Con’t If you are standing near the buttons, be willing to push a button for someone who asks if you can.. Exit quickly when you reach your floor. Get out quickly so that those waiting to board can do so. Stay farthest from the door if you will be the last person to step out. If you are traveling to the ground or top floor, it's better to stand farthest from the elevator doors after you board the lift. The End
