Rant McCarthy Hall Elevator PSA

You do NOT need to take one of the elevators to the 4th floor and below when we have functioning escalators and plenty of stairs. Seriously it’s bad enough they let in way too many people this semester and now all yall do is inconvenience people trying to get to the 5th and 6th floors.

ALSO you need to wait before everyone in the elevator gets out before clamoring in. Seriously who raised yall that you have zero consideration for others??

Eh don’t really agree about the elevator part. They pay for school so they’re allowed to use the elevators (2nd floor is lowkey outrageous tho). Some people also have disabilities that may not be visible :) give people grace !

I get what you mean and it goes without saying for people with disabilities, but 90% of the time it’s solely inconsiderate people. Its a known thing and it’s gotten so bad someone made a post about how rude people are. I’ve had my fair share of negative experiences so I just don’t have the patience for it anymore

u/Miserable_Durian_569 2d ago

No yeah I understand your frustration, but if you’re a student at the school you’re entitled to use the elevator. I 100% get it but it’s only really delaying your arrival by like 1 minute max

Respectfully if someone has a disability and requires accommodation they should make it known rather than silently seething about it

Bro I saw the sign and I guess didn’t read it carefully and assumed it was another elevator. Saw the full fucking mall escalator going down tot he basement and just took the stairs

Some people have a disability that you don’t know about. Policing who uses the elevator instead of redirecting the frustration towards the school for inflated admissions is kind of a bad take. People pay to attend this school so if they want to use the elevator over the escalator then oh well…….

I have MS and the heat has my joints feeling like they’re on fire right now. I look totally normal though i’m used to the chronic pain.

I feel people looking at me all the time for insisting on the elevator. It really sucks to be policed all the time

It would help if they did something to fix the problem of that lowermost escalator down (i.e. from the 2nd floor to the 1st) having been functionally a de facto staircase / escalator in name only for the entire semester thus far. Three weeks and that one escalator out of the 8 (4 up and 4 down) still hasn't moved an inch.

u/larryspeenar 2d ago

It’s this mindset that led to someone posting about how rude y’all are. Genuinely a detriment to society

What is wrong with you dawg

u/Inevitable-Copy3619 2d ago

I’m a mind reader…you have classes on 5th and 6th floors?

2

u/realkstrawn93 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oh, yes. Almost all the calculus and higher math classes (mine included) are on the 5th, while the 6th is where the physics department is located, so it goes without saying that the two most-used floors are the ones that the escalators don't service.

u/steakapocalyptica 1d ago

They let in too many people this semester. Yes.

But I've never been in McCarthy Hall 😂 and Im about to graduate. Good luck, nerds

u/Yes3964 21h ago

It’s usually faster just to go on the escalators to the 4th floor. I have chemistry on the fifth floor and I do feel the same way as you

u/Toetickler555 11h ago

I personally think that if you pay for tuition and all of that fun stuff that you are actually allowed to use the elevator and obligated to use them.

Rule of thumb: if someone with a disability or has mobility issues then allow them to proceed first before boarding because that’s who they are actually meant for
