Elevators have been around since 300 BC, or at least the primitive ones. Then, in 1880, electricity-powered elevators were introduced. You think having it around for so long will allow us to feel more at ease when using them, but why do we often behave differently in the elevator? While many actions are considered socially acceptable outside of an elevator, once we step into that giant metal box, you are subject to so many rules! Some of these rules are designed to keep us safe. Afterall, riding an elevator is like defying gravity, a malfunction can lead to disastrous consequences.
