DEAR ABBY: What is proper elevator etiquette? I've always assumed that passengers should exit the elevator before new ones get on. However, I have seen some people push their way through the door while people are exiting. Shouldn't they wait until everyone has left the elevator before entering? It seems like common sense to me. -- ANN IN NEW YORK
DEAR ANN: It is common sense, and it's also the rule of etiquette. The people you describe are impatient, ignorant or rude.
