Speaker 1 (00:42):
We call them blogs. We have a joint blog today.
That's right.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We want to talk about some antiqui Caelin and Paulina
would like to speak about co worker etiquette and etiquet
in general.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Please take it away. I can't wait, do.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yay Lena Broy Yeah, kay, Lena the carpool has.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Something to say.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
My mom is my Her head is spinning right now
because she doesn't know which one is, which.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Apparent a lot to be don't. A lot of people don't.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Just based on your voices, which is confusing to me
because I don't think there's much similarity.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
But anyway, I don't either. We talk very different, like
I don't know, yeah, whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
We love each other, so it's fine mixed suspects. It's
not honor to be mixed up with you. This morning,
Pauline and I encountered a situation that I'm wondering, now,
is it ever okay? Is this ever acceptable? So, like
I said, we carpool together. Paulina is an absolute angel.
She picks me up every morning. I got you so grateful,
And so we ride together, and there's a couple of

(01:32):
elevators we hit together. There's a lot of you know,
little things we have to get through to get upstairs
to our studio. And the first encounter of security is
you have to scan your little key card at those
glass doors, which you guys know, but trying to build
a picture, as Paulina would say, and one of our
coworkers was just slightly ahead of us this morning, said hi,

(01:54):
and she closed elevator on us, like right as we
were about to get into the oule.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So she saw so you were within distance that like
you were not It wasn't it wasn't like you were
on another floor coming up the escalator and she was
gonna have I mean, there's six elevators.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
So she reached out and touch it.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, So it wasn't like she could have just if
she wasn't gonna have to stand there for twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
No, no, we're talking.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Okay, so you were that closed, but she let the
elevator close in your face.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, which I know some people don't like to ride
the elevator up with people. I think Keky said she
does this sometimes it's about it. It's not about it.
It's actually not about you, you know, I would tell you.
So we were like, oh wow, okay, that was interesting.
We let it go.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Then we get up.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
To the same floor because we all work on the
same floor, and there's another like security checkpoint where you
have to scan your key card and then you go
through the same door once again, right behind our coworker,
like right behind like right behind she opened it and
then let it close right behind her. Oh, like again
could have reached out and touched her. So I just

(02:56):
was wondering, are we not teaching these things anymore? Are
they not important anymore? Do we not need to door
at a kid?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't know, Like is it like because I was
trying to think back, like how did you learn to
do that?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
You're just you just did it right, you feel like, yeah,
I don't think my mom sat me down and taught
me how to keep the door open or the elevator open.
But maybe just being a part of society always.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Doors slamming people's faces, unless, of course, you don't know
them and don't want them, like like you work. If
she didn't know you, maybe she wouldn't want you to
follow her in because because you know, I don't know.
I don't want people fall I don't want to be
responsible for the strangers walking around here.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
But but she absolutely knows who you are. Yeah, we're
of the biggest morning show in Chicago. She knows who
you are. Yeah, that wasn't not part of it. But
let's get that in there, let's work that in. I mean,
we're all in her place once.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I'm not calling her all specifically, but like you know,
if I saw the morning show hosts come in, I
wouldn't slam the door in their face.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I would hold the door for anybody.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like a dust bunny.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I don't think I mean.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
And then our rebella who's you know, same generation, says
she learned from girl scouts to open the door for people.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, so I don't.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Know, there is it ever okay to just gout, let
doors close?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Your parents? Do your parents kind of teach you. It's
it's very rude. It was.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I also think there's just a general misunderstanding about elevator
etiquette the same way and we don't have to go
on this whole thing, but the same way that I
think there seems to be a misunderstanding in certain parts
of the world about getting off an airplane. As I've
already I've already you know, shared my frustration about it.
But first of all, everybody gets off the elevator before
you get to get on, So there's no point in
standing right at the door and blocking people's access from exiting,

(04:34):
because it's not gonna go anywhere until everybody gets out.
There's got to be levels, right, So like you your insistent,
I'm getting on the elevator the moment the door opens
isn't gonna make any difference because people I've actually been
on an elevator recently where somebody got on before people
got off on the bottom floor. Why would you even

(04:55):
do that to yourself because you're gonna get run over
because everyone's getting out. So there's that now, I also
understand the thing, and this does happen occasionally where like
there's a lull, not you guys, of course, but there'll
be a very long distance between me and someone behind me,
maybe I don't know, several hundred feet, So there's a
possibility that I would wind up stuck on the elevator

(05:16):
with them. So I will increase my gait, I will
walk faster so that I can get to the elevator
and the door will close such I don't have to
ride up the elevator with anybody else, but that I
create the distance myself, you know what I'm saying, Like,
there's no I make it so that there's no way
that that situation happens where somebody feels like I blocked
them out there We are out of vision at that point.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
If you're gonna do that, then you need that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
In this particular situation, you guys had made eye contact.
Everybody knows you hold the elevator for that person.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, I don't know, it just it was it was
the double for me, Like one I would have let go.
It would be the double double and somebody just sectioned.
Maybe she doesn't like y'all, and you know what, she
won't after this, so.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Either way, know it was it was very rude.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
It was double double. I agree, r bam yeah, like twice. Man,
Now he's what you have. Also let the door close, yes,
oh yes, but I know you like to ride.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Up alone, so that's all right.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I would never I'm the person that will make it uncomfortable,
like you're twenty five thousand feet away, and I will
hold the door and make you do.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
That little jog like you really want to get the door.
I hold the door for people. Yeah, but it's the
elevator that's different.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I know that press but not everybody listening encounters elevator
situations every day. But there are a lot of elevator
use going on here because we're in a tall building.
But the other thing I noticed yesterday was like in
my building. There are four elevators, right, and one was open,
and there was a little bit of a line because
I guess they were slow and people was getting people
were people was they were getting on and there was

(06:50):
a guy with walker, and I figured he needed a
little bit more room just to be comfortable. And so
I there were four people in the elevator, including guy
with the walker, and it looked kind of full, you know,
So I and there are four, so I was like, hey,
I'll just take the next one. And then the people
there were two people behind me, and they rush behind
me to get in the elevator and fill it up.

(07:12):
Now I had already set the way here, like we're
moving on from that one.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
There are four.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
The other one will be here in ten seconds, and
we're gonna let them have their space. Where are you
going that you must get in that elevate. It had
to be that one. I need to get to my
house now, like unless you got to take a big crapper,
And even if you do, I would argue you get
in your own elevator. It's gonna get to where you're
going faster because you're gonna have to stop on some

(07:39):
other floors that might not be yours.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Just in case there's an accident.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But people are so aggressive about the elevator or they'll
pack in, like in my building, like it'll be full
and like one more and then someone else is like
why why do you have to wait five seconds? If
there's only one elevator. I get it, right, Like there's
only one freight elevator. If you own a pat you
have to use the freight elevator. Oh really, Or if

(08:02):
you're moving something, you have to use the freight elevator.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So I get it.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And there's only one and it's a big, tall building,
so like when it comes to your floor, you're gonna
want to try and get on it because it's not
coming back for a few minutes, like it takes a while.
I get that. But the other ones, I'm like, why
why are we packing in? Like it's not necessary.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Let's work together, Like.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
If you've got a lot of packages, I'll say, what
floor do you need?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I mean, let's oh yeah, that's another one. Just help
each other, please, I can't. They don't have a free hand.
You just you're struggling to try to Oh yeah,
