Where you stand in an elevator says something about you. Elevator hierarchy...

Do you have a preferred location in the elevator?

A recent study looked at our elevator behavior and positioning and found some stereotypes going up and down. Generally speaking, higher-ups, especially men, prefer standing in the back of the box. Young men prefer the middle and most women position themselves near the door, regardless of age.

There were some pet peeves where elevator travel was concerned. Topping the list was talking on a cell phone during the ride, followed by not holding the door, standing too close and taking the elevator to go up one floor instead of using the stairs.
