GPMike is angry today. 
Either way I agree, I'm tired of the lack of courtesy, and tired of being the only one doing things for people just because it's the nice thing to do.
I arrived at Home Depot last night at 8:05pm to order a custom-sized set of wood blinds. Just one, I knew the size, color, everything. When I walked up to the custom order area a mom and her daughter showed up at the same area so I said "Are you ladies looking to speak with one of them?" and I motioned towards the two Home Depot staff standing there and the mother rudely said "Uh, YEAH." and immediately started talking to one of them. When the other employee start to move away to help me, the bitch mother said "Actually, I'd like both of your help please."
I waited more patiently than I ever have before in my life, politely interrupting at the 25 minute interval, then later at 45 minutes to ask if I could just place a very quick order and pay up front. Bitch mother said, "Maybe soon, I'm almost done with them." both times. If she didn't have a hot daughter there with her for me to enjoy the appearance of, I would've laid into the mom with a stream of criticism for being selfish, rude, and disrespectful to me and the other 5 people that were waiting at that point behind me.
At minute 65 I finally was able to place my order which took literally under 5 minutes. While this was going on the bitch mother returned and interrupted to borrow a pen twice. I felt like reaming her out but it's not how I work.

I would have told her right off, "I just have a quick order then you can have both of their undivided attention."

I was curious to see how far it'd go. Making googily eyes with the daughter really did ease my pain a little bit did help. She seemed to be early 20s, and mouthed "I'm sorry" at one point.

13. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.

No number from the young lass?
General rules that I know for the elevator are:
1) You may nod or acknowledge other riders when you enter if:
a) You join only one other person on board - you're not walking out on stage and greeting an audience
b) You already know one or more people on board from past encounters
2) You may only discuss the following topics, if they force into conversation:
a) The weather
b) How "we're definitely due" for the upcoming long weekend
c) The progress of renovations to common areas of the building that you will both be aware of
3) You have a responsibility upon entry to determine which position in the box will keep you the furthest average from everyone else on board. If you feel boobs or a penis against the back of you, you are too close. Alright, boobs are okay. But if you are that tight on room, you should not have gotten on.

I do the elevator hack (works on 90%) of the elevators I use. Nothing funnier than a bunch of plssed off people when the elevators takes me to my floor bypassing their floors.
Bonus points if you mumble something like "damn pheasants" as you exit.
