Elevator Doosh II

It is a commonly understood by most elevator patrons that upon entering and choosing your destination that you are supposed to blankly stare at the door (or floor) so as to not make anyone else on the elevator uncomfortable. And, if you do not follow this code, then you are a doosh. I understand that sometimes there are exceptions -- maybe you actually know someone else on the elevator and you can do a sort of demi-turn to chat softly with him/her. But never by any means is one supposed to directly face another elevator patron especially when you are one of only three in the thing. In this case, not only are you a doosh but a psycho. Talk about the best way to strike fear and anxiety in your colleagues on the way to lunch. This is not the time to go against the grain, choose your battles wisely, and face the gosh darn door.
