Well, for what my 2 cents is worth...

In my (much) younger days I used to move office furniture...on more than one occasion I had been crammed with little elbow room in an elevator with two desks on end on dollies and got stuck...on one occasion for close to two hours. Not fun. I think it induced the old claustrophobic reaction in me (and since). I am hesitant to enter crammed elevators full of people as a result. Some of these are easy to overload also...enjoy the trip towards the bottom...

My present line of work (not firefighting) has caused me to see more than a few highrise fires over the years, ask anyone who has experienced one-not fun. For those of you enjoying the view on the 36th floor-good luck.

That leads me to my last comment...I am willing to take an elevator up high for a view for dinner...but I never intend to stay overnight past the 5th floor which is basically the extent of firefighting removal via ladder (I think some do go a little higher).

Bravo to all of you who like to stay up high...I list my preference for a lower floor and insist on it. I get used to the stairs.
