We're taking bets that no one knows what to do when they enter an elevator...

Picture it Sicily 1935. No seriously think about this scenario. What do you do?

The elevator doors open. It is crowded but there is space. You have waited a long time. You get into the elevator. Do you....?

A) Say hello to everyone. Turn to the front and stare at the numbers as they go down or up.
B) Ignore everyone. Try not to touch people and stare at the door.
C) Smile at people. Make eye contact with people but don't stare.
D) Stay facing the back. Make jokes about the elevator crashing into a fiery abyss. Have an evil laugh as you get off.

There are no real rules to the elevators. I think the only real rule is do not jump up and down because you will probably break the elevator. Even that doesn't stop people from doing it. I would like to make a book of elevator etiquette. Please submit in the comments section rules that you would like included. Once I get 50 good rules I will make a book and bind it. Then I will pass it out so that everyone will now now the elevator rules.
