The main elevators in University Hall run from floors 1 - 7.  The main staircase runs from floors 1 - 4.  Why is it that some people see the need to take the elevator from 1 - 2?  Seriously?  It’s one floor.  There’s even a landing on the main staircase halfway up, so you can catch your breath.  3 and up I can understand, that’s a lot of stairs, but 1 - 2?  COME ON!

I mean, if you have a broken leg, or a rolling backpack, I can understand.  But half the time I see people who are perfectly capable of climbing stairs just waiting at the elevators, only to take them one story up!  I mean I tend to be a lazy guy, but I know when it’s appropriate to take the elevator, and when it’s not.

Also, why is it that some people wait like 3 minutes for an elevator to take it 5 - 4?  Or 5 - 3 even?  Gravity is working with you people!  Going down the stairs is just like walking, only when you are done, you’ve descended in vertical space!
