@umm In the real world of Manhattan, where many people live and work in tall buildings, many people do, in fact, get off on their own floor. People who are used to taking elevators their whole lives get used to stopping at all floors during rush hours.
College is supposed to prepare you for life. It’s time for the suburbanites to start dealing with the disappointments of city living. Welcome to New York.
@kid, in the real world of Manhattan, there are no elevators. Spoiled prick.
@... they recently built a brand new federal building in san francisco. they had a top of the line architecture firm design it with cutting edge features. (close attention paid to natural light, a cross-wind ventilation system with automatically actuated vents for climate control in lieu of a/c, LEED platinum, blah blah blah.. the stuff architecture/industrial design wet dreams are made of) one of the features was a skip-stop elevator system where elevators only stop every 3rd floor (both to promote exercise and reduce elevator travel times). beyond the main elevator bank (which is all skip-stop), they have a freight elevator that requires swipe access and a single slow elevator that stops on every floor for ADA access.
supposedly the wait for the ADA elevator can exceed 20 minutes at peak times.
@Anonymous …this is old. like, really old.
@Wallach residents, PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS.
@Harmony Hunter you’re telling me i was at NYU?!?!?!??!!!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
@Anonymous this is legitimately a good idea and makes complete sense. why are we bashing shit just cuz it’s nyu? grow up
ps my captcha is 3 dots, a curve and a line….
@this seems smart. bwog sucks.
@Anonymous Been there, done that, and did it better:

@Anonymous it’s not the same… your link is people just trying to be funny. the nyu one is a real suggestion
@Seriously I don’t understand why this merits a posting. NYU buildings have a lot of fucking floors, and stopping at 6,7,8, and 9 gets old fast, especially if you live on the 15th floor. This sign is just reminding students to think about others (something Columbia students rarely seem to bother with).
And Bwog, hipster potshots are tiresome. Give it a rest. Maybe we can come up with a new joke this century?
@Point Take note, Broadway residents.
@seas and people in mudd
@Anonymous Stoping at 6,7,8, and 9 doesn’t get old fast if, say, you live there maybe…
I’m not saying that people shouldn’t just take the stairs anyway, but those who roll their eyes just come across as pretentious elevator high-browers. And, really, do you want to be an elevator high-brower?
@What? NYU has fucking floors? And to think that all we have is a few hidden nooks in the stacks of Butler.
@What? *Are.
@I agree Hipster jokes used to be so much funnier, now they’re just so uncreative. God.
@well I know a much better NYU joke, but it’s pretty obscure, so you probably haven’t heard of it.
@I love how they don’t just say \oh hey maybe take the stairs.\ Instead, you’re supposed to go up or down just one flight and see if the button there has been pushed. What a waste of time. Seriously, who is going to do that?
@Anonymouse Pretty sure this means if you live on the 6th floor and you get into the elevator on the 1st floor and someone has already pressed 5 or 7, you get off at the floor that’s already been pushed and walk to your own from there. I mean, it’s just a hunch… but you’re wrong.
@My bad I didn’t realize this was inside the elevator. I thought it was outside.
@This is an excellent idea!!
have you ever pressed the button to go to floor 9, and then someone comes in at the second just to press 8? it’s so annoying!
@Anonymous yea… You’re dumb. What it means is that if you get on the elevator going to the 5th floor, but the 4th or the 6th has already been pushed, you just get off at 4 or 6 and walk one floor. I’ve always thought this would be the most efficient… seas…
@why why would you repeat something that someone has already clearly explained?
@Check time stamps because s/he posted it before refreshing the page and saw that it was already posted. BAM EXPLAINED.
@Anonymous you are dumber than the people are you making fun of
@Anonymous That’s pretty much Altschul hall on a daily basis.
@NYU is full retard. all the rich kids in my school that had sub-par iq’s just paid the admissions office there. but they probably could have gotten in anyway…
@Anonymous NYU makes me feel smart.
@Certificate on file at the facilities Verticle Transportation office
@Spelling Nazi I’m not even going to correct this one. It’s too depressing.
