Can someome explain me why the they always have to take the elvator for 1 ing floor?

Would it kill them to use the stairs?

And I'm not just talking about the fat Burger King addict chick

Even dudes who seem to be in shape by playing basketball (ok not just basketball) can't take the ing stairs



It's annoying when I'm already running late for work - my company is located on the 11th floor - and they have to take the elevator to get to 1st, or stop it to fly from 4th to 5th.

Please. It isn't just black peeps, it's every lazy out there.

I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment building and have been lately using the elevator more often to get to my room. It usually depends on which side of the building I enter in. If it's one of the 2 middle entrances, I usually take the elevator because both stairwells are at the ends of the building and my room is closer to the middle of the hall, requiring significant extra walking. Then, the two side entrances offer different scenarios. If I am approaching the side that requires 1.5 flights of stairs to get to my floor, I take the stairs. If it's the opposite side, it requires 2.5 flights and there's a 50% chance I take the stairs. Another important thing to consider: there are 2 elevators and both are fast in both vertical movement and door shutting/closing quickness. Doors respond immediately to the close doors button.

TBH I think my tactics are rather reasonable. What are your guys opinions?

I'm not around elevators much at all but when I am I do try to take the stairs to help with my diabeetus.

3 black guys running for an elevator

using the elevator comes with risks imho, you might get stuck in there and it really be awful experience to stay a couple hours in such a metal box. stairs are definitely my 1st choice when its within 5 floors, there just be some racists who don not want us s to use stairs tbh.

plus the air in an elevator can be really bad tbh, if you want to get a flu just spend a couple minutes in an elevator taking a few deep breaths

happens at my office everyday... After they've driven to the whataburger at the end of the parking lot and then come back and proceed to about not being able to lose weight... but not only black people, lol

You bring up another thing that annoys the out of me. I hate when I have my kids in the car and pull into a drive thru just to see a huge line. As I decide to go somewhere else, I see a line of cars 5-10 deep of people ALONE! Hey lazy asses, if you're by yourself, get out of the ing car and go inside.

If there's a line of cars 3 deep, I'll get off and go inside when I'm by myself. But it's not worth it to get out, get my 2 and 4 year old out, go inside for 5 minutes and then get back in.

But if you're by yourself, just get out of the damn car. When I do it, 75% of the time, I'm in and out in less time than it would take going through the drive through, and 23% of the time it's the same amount of time, but I waste less gas.

As for the elevator, if I have my kids, I'll do the 1 floor thing (my daughter takes forever to go up stairs because she has to stop and look at EVERYTHING in the stair well). If I'm by myself, I'll take the stairs up to 3 floors (depending on how much of a hurry I'm in).

I live on the third floor of my apartment building and don't have an elevator. I walk up and down every time, and don't even mention when I have groceries (like 6 bags or more).

If you're in the middle, the elevator's fine. But if it were me and I was at the ends, I'd just use the stairs unless I had groceries, then I'd be more inclined to use the elevator because I could put them down while in motion.

what if you were trapped in an elevator........with a black surgeon?

I think this is an unreasonable/exaggerated concern.

Does Big K.R.I.T. ride elevators?

Some are more racist than others. But Lefty might be hardly a racist (although most people from Algeria have racial bias against black people) he's just always trying to fit in here. He saw threads made about black people the last few days and thought he might do so...

Oh yeah, there's nothing racist about this thread. You and "Asians in the UCLA Library" girl should hook up.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Again, not apologizing for doing this. It's 100 ing degrees outside. I ain't getting out for , even if it does only take 5 seconds to run across the parking lot to the door. Sorry buddy, you and the kids will have to wait the extra 10 minutes in the air conditioning

I've learned over the years that those who talk about these things are less apt to make race based decisions than those who do not. Racists feel they are better than others because of their race. Most here just comment on the differences and most of that is just to pass time.

Yeah him complaining about that is the dumbest ever. It's not like drive thrus were built specifically for people with kids, they were built so you don't have to get out of your car/turn the AC off/etc.

[lefty]

Ok it happened again this morning

Only black people


I'm not lying

Oh please. Let's not pretend that this thread, or the countless others like it that have become so popular recently, are part of any thoughtful discussion of cultural difference.

[florige]

You don't like scary movies, though either.

And at the "no racist" comment. Come one. It is what it is.

Certain types of scary movies that involve spirits/ghost I cannot watch. I am cool with every other type though.

I actually am not opposed to getting stuck in an elevator as long as isn't for many many hours, in fact I might want to experience it some time. Just as long as I'm not stuck on the 20th floor or so, that would be terrifying.

Maybe if I were stuck there with a hot girl, or a girl I was interested in then maybe. But even then I would probably be so terrified I wouldn't be able to even think about that part of it. If I were stuck in one 20 or so floors up I would probably pass out even if I were stuck in one with Kim or Kourtney Kardashian.
