One of the fundamental rules of elevator etiquette is that you must always pretend you are not listening to the conversations of other riders. However, a corollary rule also says that you shouldn't discuss bowel movements and similar subjects on the elevator.
I'm on an elevator, and a sizable fellow remarks to his buddy: "Yeah, the Atkins thing is really working. I weighed myself this morning and I was down to 265." Then he leans over, and, in a voice that was only slightly hushed, adds "And that was even before I took a shit."
So I let out a barely hushed noise of disapproval, and these jerks turn toward me like I'm the jackass. Hey, guys, you broke etiquette first.
