The Broken Compass

The broken compass is that guy who walks into the elevator, hits his floor, and just stares at you: face to face. They have no sense of proper elevator etiquette or direction. The rules are:

1. You hit your floor button.
2. You turn around to face the doors.
3. You say nothing!

Don’t be that guy who makes the other passengers uncomfortable by staring at them for the course of 12 floors. Us working compasses have done nothing wrong and yet we suffer. When you are a passenger to the side you see, out of your peripheral, this situation from time to time. That guy threatens you breaking the 3rd rule! How can you not laugh at the awkwardness of this scene in which two strangers are staring directly at each other while trying to not stare at each other? You can’t! Rule 3 broken. You are that guy, or in this case, that other guy.

Elevator’s Rogue Gallery

There are many other elevator users known as “That Guy”.

• The Dutch-Ovener – Farter
• The Hot Boxer – Smoker dragging in his smoke smell
• The English Impatient – Constantly pushes floor button or close elevator door button at every stop
• The Chatter Box(s) – Usually comes in a group of 2 or more. If alone, do not make eye contact. They are like retards. The second you make eye contact they have to come over to you and retard-chat your head off: Nothing coherent or worth listening to. “great. Yeah, i think the bronze for shot-put in the Special Olympics is great.” Its just awkward and you can’t get away.
• The Fat Lazy Bastard – Gets off at the second floor while everyone on the elevator is going to the 8th floor and up. Check out the Vlog below, by Wpromote, to further understand that guy.

Please, don’t ruin the elevator for the rest of us. Don’t be…that guy.
