Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

if you are able bodied, not carrying a heavy load, and going to the second floor of a building that has both an elevator and a perfectly usable and accessible staircase,

do you wait for the elevator to go up on floor or

do you take the stairs?

I always take the stairs, unless of course I forget my pass which you need to get onto the second floor via the stairs Chat Icon

Stairs! I get all annoyed when the stairs aren't accesible from the lobby.

I used to walk up to my 5th floor apartment most of the time.

Re: Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

Since I am pregnant and my legs always hurt- usually the elevator.

Before pregnancy I was a smoker, so I took the stairs alot (I'm talking up 6 flights for school) but I would have to stop at the top to catch my breath and would curse myself for taking the stairsChat Icon

I take the stairs.

The building I work in has way too many people but not enough elevators so I'm used to it. I work on the 7th floor and often take the stairs if I don't feel like waiting for an elevator.

I used to work in an overcrowded NYC HS and I would take the elevator one floor b/c the stairs were too packed with students to get through.

Re: Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

depends on the elevator. at work, we have new elevators that take literally 5secs to arrive.... meanwhile, the stairs are far from the lobby... so elevator.

at home, I used to always take the elevator (which is technically 1 flight, but really closer to 3 normal 'flights of stairs)... but it's out of order more often than it's in order Chat Icon So I have to schlep my lazy toosh, along with my lunch bag, laptop, and roughly 22 lb baby up the stairs Chat Icon

Re: Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

It depends. At work I often have to carry a heavy bag from floor to floor so then I use the elevator... if I'm not carrying anything heavy, I use the stairs.

at work I take the elevator and I get so many dirty looks but before you think I am downright lazy I work near a studio so they closed the stairs for security reasons. I would def take the stairs if i could!

Re: Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

We have an elevator in our building. I only take it if I have a cart with me. I actually scold coworkers who take the elevator up... Chat Icon The funny thing is, I usually wind up beating them up the two flights of stairs...

The only time I take the elevator is if it's more than two flights, or if I'm not familiar with the building. Hotels are designed for you to take the elevator primarily. The stairs are often tucked away somewhere, so it takes a little while to find them from the lobby. Hospitals, too.

I live on the 'first' floor but it is actually the second floor... it takes longer to wait for the elevator than to take the stairs!

Re: Do you ride the elevator to the second floor?

I live on the "2nd" floor (it's actually the third; lobby, 1st floor, 2nd floor). I always take the elevator.

We have two staircases but they are completely enclosed and even though I feel super safe in my part-time doorman building, I don't like those staircases and their enclosed area. I will take them if the elevator is taking forever, but I don't like it.

I've always worked 20th floor or above, so elevator at work.

I used to have to take the elevator from 18 to 19 to use the bathroom when ours was being renovated & I felt so lazy, but the stairs are for emergencies only.
