Although this probably happens everywhere. Seemed like every time my wife and I went to get off the elevator there was alway one or a few people that would crowd on just as the doors open, before anyone had a chance to get off.
It didn't take more than a couple of times on the elevator before I just put my nose to the door before it opened and stood there until all the outside folks got the message, "let folks get off before you crowd on the elevator". Now, I'm 6'3" + and about 260, I take up a lot of room in an elevator door, I also wasn't worried about saying something to a few folks about elevator etiquette. My wife is 5'4" and about 115 soaking wet, she said at times she's happy to be married to a grizzly bear.
