Have you ever observed people in elevators?  There are some very common behaviors that take place, and I submit to you that they are telltale signs of a person's psychological or emotional state.  For example:

The Door Slammer:  That's the guy who, although he sees you running for the elevator, as your coffee bubbles up over the mouth hole of the lid, allows the door to close on you anyway, usually pretending not to see you.

The Polite Door Slammer:  Similar to the Door Slammer above, only the Polite Door Slammer feigns an attempt to hit the "Door Open" button.  Who are we kidding, folks?  He was NEVER going to hold the door for you.

The Position Jockey:  Assuming you get ON the elevator, the Position Jockey plans his strategy long before the door opens.  He inserts himself in perfect position to read the "Captivate" news video, which only appears on one side of the elevator.

Chatty Cathy:  She loves your blouse, she loves your shoes, isn't this weather great, can you believe the Cubs are in first place....you get the idea.  Phew, finally, my floor!

The Avoider:  He's not going to make eye contact, no matter WHAT you do or say.  Even Chatty Cathy can't get him to crack.  He stares at his shoes, his briefcase, his watch, a spot on his tie, you name it.  You could have two heads and the Avoider won't flinch.

So, the next time you're in an elevator, see which of these personalities gets on with you...or slams the door on you!

I grit my teeth on elevators. I'm polite and always let the lady on / off first before I go. But a small enclosed space with a group is not for me.
