Elevator Etiquette

I either feel pissed of or guilty when taking an elevator for the following reasons. I always feel pissed off when I am in the elevator waiting to take off and another party is holding the elevator waiting for some associates to get on. On the other hand, I feel a little guilty when I am in the elevator and I see someone down the hall who is obviously heading for the elevator but I just don't feel like waiting another few seconds to let him/her on so I press the "close door" button and get the hell outa there ASAP. Come on, I know you all have the same elevator angst as I do.

So what's the solution? Should there be some ground rules governing elevator wait times? I vote for a 2 second wait time. So if you're in an elevator and you hear some obnoxious GOM counting "one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi," that means your time is up!
