Stairs take 15 seconds to walk up 1 flight. The elevators would take 45 seconds to do your idea. That is not genuins..it is infact sh7oopid Good luck being fat with your ideas
Yeah, whoever thought of this clearly didn't think it out. Also, I love how people are supposed to feel ashamed for elevator traffic to lower levels, but people too impatient to wait for another elevator are fine and dandy. Impatience and laziness are both vices, why shame one over the other. They should also install a system where if a sensor detects more than a certain number of people entering that it begins berating them for being too impatient to wait for the next elevator, lol.
I am a member of the "disabled, but it doesn't show" crowd. And it really is hard when you are in severe pain and people think you're just lazy. I would also question the assumption that the best way to motivate other people is through shame.
Same here. I am always afraid to sit on reserved seats in the bus and waiting for someone telling me not to block such a seat, maybe even already in an aggressive mood towars me. Everyone would think i am perfectly healthy
Unfortunately, at least here in the states, the elevators are always the most prominent in an entryway to a building, and the stairs are usually hidden away, therefore leading people to automatically take the elevator.
This is not only true but sometimes stairs are purposely locked. And when they're hidden way you're not always sure if you're allowed to even use them.
@@goldman77700 I lived in a building where the stairs are off limits unless in emergency. Something about private property because the building is shared or something
Yeah, multi story building without stairs? Was it designed in The Sims? I used to live on the 12th floor of a building and would only take the elevator when I had groceries with me.
This is actually a pretty good idea...until someone who's disabled and in a wheelchair gets on and presses a lower floor. Still a neat idea, though, like I said. I can see it worked very well.
GamingMadisn Well... elevators are usually for disabled people but well-bodied people started using them too I guess. Maybe because there's always a rush and the elevator is faster.
Tsubomi Kido i dont think anyone is going to walk to the 50th floor - elevator installation was actually prompted by and enabled high-rise development, those buildings made them desirable so they became common and disabled people finally got to use them too.

Because deactivating that floor wouldn't cross the mind of the person reprogramming the elevator? If you make assumptions often you should keep them to yourself, assuming is a weakness and when society falls making assumptions will get you killed, raped, eaten or a combination of the three :)
You are actually also "assuming" that the floor gets deactivated because there is nothing in the video confirming what you said. So instead of being such a hypocrite do as you say yourself and keep your assumptions to yourself because it is a weakness and when society falls making assumptions will get you killed, raped, eaten or a combination of the three. Not that there is actually anything bad with a person assuming things but because you should act how you want other people to act :)
+ that it is indeed how husler539 says because as you can see in 2:05 - 2:11 , the button that the woman presses is still active after she leaves the elevator (another evidence that you are the one assuming).
theres evidence of an elder lady using the elevator on two different occasions and staying inside regardless of the public shame(the one commenting "i think that was meant towards me). so either she sucked it up and had to walk down from a higher level, or the elevator still stopped at the level she pressed.
i think when the elevator started giving clear commands to take the stairs people actually took the stairs because they thought there would be a mechanical problem or something and got worried
Although I for the most part agree if you are able to take the stairs, it is overall the healthier option. However, there are reasons that someone may not be able to and so for that reason I find this ignorant. Even if the individual is not obviously disabled (by use of a wheelchair, crutches, etc.) You never know it someone has a back, knee, or many other types of injuries which would make it difficult and in many cases, not advisable to walk up stairs. Instead you just end up making someone feel like shit that probably is already having a rough time. wtg
Rachel Yeung He just said what was wrong. It was congested. Plus it's good for people to use the stairs. Healthy. The only problem is for disabled or sick people who may not actually be physically able to do so. An elevator can't distinguish.
Because it uses energy that in a roundabout way is contributing to climate change and/or pollution, but I don't think this is about that it's about making people feel guilty for not exercising which seems dumb seen as they have no idea what exercise those people have done or will do that day or what medical conditions they have. Elevators should only really be left for disabled people, if your sick and feel dizzy or weak or something, people with kids that are to young to do masses of stairs, someone with an injury, you have a heavy item and don't want to risk falling or pulling something heaving it up the stairs etc
True but also maybe it had something to do with their morality. Taking the stairs can be healthy and a good workout for most people. I take the stairs 98% of the time. I was shocked and disgusted when someone said they didn't want to take the stairs to their 14th floor and they weren't even obese or unhealthy. Just lazy.
Because this particular elevator is often overcrowded, like they said, so they did this to encourage people who are only going up a floor or 2 to use the stairs so that people who need to go to the top floor for example can actually use the elevator for that.
Thats smart, now if someone is actually disabled or unable to take the stairs due to some medical condition they cant make it up to the floor they may need to go to (1-5). Well done smart person!
ambulance girl well it's not your fault , with a human population of more than 7 billion , for everything thing that is done by anyone on earth there will always be someone who would get offended. There's no way you could conduct a social experiment while considering each and every possible type of people out there and without upsetting a certain type of people. Their intentions were good but you just turned out to be the kind of person that would not benefit from this experiment instead be offended. It would have been appalling and disrespectful if they had specifically shown a person on a wheelchair being guilt into climbing the stairs. But they didn't!!! So either they didn't come across such a situation and if they did come across such a person then they most probably handled it well.
And if that was the case, most people only going a floor or two take the stairs, because it's usually quicker and more convenient than queuing for the lift. This is horrible for people with invisible disabilities
I prefer stairs, but my parents always force me into the elevator cause they're too lazy to lift the luggage even though we always get the second or first floor..
I have severe chronic bronchitis. I may not look like I'm handicapped but; I have a disability. To have an elevator tell me that I should take the stairs for a few flights ignores my disability.
Bette Davis Why are you putting somebody down with a chronic illness? It's not like they purposefully chose to have to live with that- I'm sure if they could they would choose to live without it. I would also encourage you to read up on the actual story behind the reason hot drinks are labelled, as in, McDonald's had been serving their coffee at around 180 degrees (much higher than restaurant code required, and they had been given numerous write-ups about it) the elderly woman accidentally spilled it when the lid came off in the car, and it caused 3rd degree burns in less than 20 seconds. After this entire trial, coffee is now held in sturdier cups with warnings, just in case. It's people like you who are critical and judging that make this world a worse place to live in.
@@micahturner6239 people who 'don't look disabled' get harassed and interrogated and get dirty glares all the time for using things like disabled toilets. Things like this validate people who do stuff like that and make it worse
i went to canada for a school trip and some of the other kids abused the elevator, they just really messed with it, i took the stairs most of the time, we were on the 6th floor. and guess what, the ones who kept messing with it eventually got stuck in there for like 10 mintues lol
Can we get 5000 subscribers with no videos? Wtf?! What country are you from? Ain't got elevators in your country? Why would anyone play in an elevator?
What more interesting is the fact that people just walk out of the lift and take the stairs, cuz the elevator told them to do. It's scary what an authority can force people to do
This is not ok. God forbid someone have an invisible disability and then be shamed into having to explain their disability because they cannot take the stairs.
+Bobbie frame. What? God forbid is an idiom I am not bringing God into anything. My comment was to point out that some people have non obvious reasons for not taking stairs.
Well it is a good idea. But you don't know if the people who take the elvator need to take it. Sometimes you can't see the disability. Like me I'm 16 years old and often my knees and hips hurt really bad.Sometimes I can't even walk/move (or don't want to because it hurts so bad). Otherwise it's a good idea and it worked very well.
Winged hunter >needed to comment and bring in a personal sob story to prove a point >proceeds to say "i know" proving there was no point for this comment in the first place
Winged hunter Sorry about the knee. Is is it a permanent condition? I hear that knee/hip pain is not that uncommon for people, even teens, who engage in sports or aggressive physical activity without stretching. There was a time when I forgot to stretch before carrying a truckload of heavy boxes, and for the following 3 days, I couldn't do stairs without crawling on all fours :) +Leimiful A more relevant example of an oversensitive prick is somebody who feels compelled to express distaste towards people for sharing personal experiences on the internet when you could just as easily ignore them.
Eric By Definition Unfortunately, yes. My doctor didn't really know what it could be and another doctor guessed it's about my connective tissue or something. Ouch! Sounds very painful. I hope you don't forget streching again :) Thanks for the backup :D
Being ashamed of taking an elevator is the most absurd thing I’ve hear all year. You are not any more or less lazy by deciding to, or not to climb 20 steps.
Actually, you are lazy. No one who values their time at all is going to wait at least 60 seconds every single time, to do what they can easily do in 15.
Ya no. Try people with wheel chairs or have a metal leg like i do. I have to always use my good leg first. Takes me longer to go up the stairs than the elevator. That is ontop of looking normal that this thing would yell at me..
In my dorm, there were 7 floors. The elevator would move slowly, and the doors would stay open for way too long. People living on the the upper floors really began to resant those on floor 2 who used the elevator. I myself lived on floor 6.
The elevator needs to be fixed and people on the lower floors know that it take way too long so they are less likely to use the elevator anyways at least if they value their time and have common sense.
I couldn't help but imagine how the makers of the video would react if someone unable to walk received a message "please exit and take the stairs or "hey lazy take the stairs".
Let me get this straight... the idea is to shame people for using a piece of technology for exact purpose it was designed for? If riding the elevator from the lobby to the first few floors is socially abhorrent then why does the elevator have buttons for those floors? How is riding the elevator from the lobby to the 3rd floor more shameful than riding it to the 4th or the 5th. At what floor does is become no longer shameful (6, 7, 20)? Who decides? This is such complete bullshit.
Last time I checked, this was America. I'll call people out on their laziness whenever and wherever I want. Did I miss the part where anybody was forced out of the elevator at gunpoint?
I not only think this is rude but what if a person had just had surgery or has had surgery . What about people that has sever anxiety issues ... think about them to. They could have a melt down if other people are in there and they think they are being judged. Also what about the people who have heart and lung issues . This is just a rude thing to do!
Xendrus Idziak There was one actor in there. This isn't fake as she was the only one speaking and trying to get people in the elevator to say something.
@@GoopyProduction, but you still feel embarrassed because a) you're human and b) you realize everyone else in the elevator doesn't know the message doesn't apply to you.
Lol everyone is talking about people on wheelchairs but no one is talking about the fact that shame is one of the worst ways to teach somebody a meaningful and helpful lesson...
I have a disability and if I put in the huge effort it takes me to get anywhere only to hear a message shaming me for not climbing the stairs...I would feel hurt and angry.
I can see what they are trying to accomplish, trying to reduce elevator crowding. But, as a disabled person, with mobility issues, I struggle to use the stairs, even if its just one floor. I would feel so terrible if this happened to me.
What the fuck? Elevators were invented so people don't habe to wals the stairs. What's the fucking problem with using it? People should be ashamed for not having the patience to wait a few SECONDS for people to get out off the elevator, no matter WHICH floor... So stupid...
+dXb IMO the purpose of taking an elevator is to decrease the time it takes to get to a higher (or lower) floor in a large building. It takes almost the same amount of the time to take the stairs to the floor above you as it does to ride the elevator. There's no point in taking up valuable space in an elevator simply because you are too lazy to walk up one flight.
Kinda fucked up guys. You don't know what that persons just recently been through/going through. Someone could appear perfectly healthy when in actuality they could have a real disability that hinders their endurance...its not anyone's job/responsibility to tell someone how they should get to the next part of their day.
They are not telling them how to "get to the next part of their day" because it is their responsibility to do so, they are doing it because they can, and because it is their responsibility to manage traffic flow. It is not their responsibility to tell people anything, but it is their right. I agree that an automated system telling strangers they are lazy is a bit clumsy and rude. A simple, 'Please use the stairs if you are physically able,' would be better.
So when a person feels under the weather and has monday blues, the elevator says take the stairs. Great start to a day. Even the elevator is messing with the person. 😂
You can't tell by looking at me that I have an inner ear disease that causes me to become extremely dizzy, without warning, so stairs can be dangerous for me.
I'm all for encouraging more stair usage, for people who are able. But then the building should be designed with the stairs clearly marked out, well maintained and easily accessible. Most staircases tend to be fire escapes that haven't been cleaned and are clearly marked out
*Walking up to the 3rd level* is still OK. The blood gets flowing. The rush and relaxation afterwards is nice. I know a nice woman, she is afraid of elevators, she places her shopping bags into the elevator, then she walks up 10 levels, then she collects the shopping bags near the door :-)
Although this is from 2014, the actual question is "Does National Geographic discriminated against disabled people, including those with hidden disabilities?" and the answer is "As this disgusting experiment shows, yes, yes it does." To think NG used to once be considered good quality
No, i just took a fresh shower and drive all the way to work and looking handsome, i'm not gonna walk 3 floors by the time i arrived my office the back of my shirt will be soaked with sweat. But i do tend to walk the stairs when i'm only one floor away, cuz it's faster that way.
Bette Davis inside the staircase has no AC, so it gets pretty hot, and yes, men's shirts r pretty thin and the material doesn't absorb a single sweat, so yea, you'll see some stains on back soaked by sweat.
Ok, but what healthy person takes the elevator to go one floor up? I once worked in a company and I had a really funny manager. One time after a day of work, me and three other women where taking the elevator down to leave the office. It was about five floors but to reach one floor you had to climb a lot of stairs. My manager found us lazy because we where taking the elevator and he really wanted us to take the stairs, wich we didn't. So one day we all left at the same time and he and an other co-worker ran down the stairs and they pressed the elevator button at every floor. So the elevator door opened at every floor for about five times. It took us a while to get down. At some point we where so frustrated that it took so long to get down that we had to take the stairs. We laughed at it then and I can still laugh at it now. (Good thing nobody was disabled). BTW: men should try taking the stairs with high heels. You will look at us women in a whole diffrent way ;-). Taking a lot of stairs while wearing heels can feel like a marathon.
@2:17 Woman: "For the first 6 months we were in this building, I didn't even know the stairs were there. @2:24: Same woman takes the stairs that are DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ELEVATOR. LOL
DeShiia Coleman This is giving you more the illusion of choice than our natural blind tendency of doing what others are doing, plus it's making you healthier. I see no harm in this.
AwkwardRenegade I don't mean to say that taking the stairs when you only need to go one floor up is bad. It the element of social engineering through subtle manipulation. Governments and corporations do it all the time. Ex: A government wants you to ride tour bike more. So they fund studies on how bike riding is really good for you and have it run on all the news channles.While simultaneously funding studies on the amount of car accidents each year and how they have gone up every year sense cars where invented (neglecting to mention that that is because there have been more cars every yea sense cars where invented). Now every time there is a car crash the news covers it as if it were a plane crash. Then a tax is passed on every car purchase. School programs are put in to educate kids about the merits of bikes and the danger of cars. Finally more and more bike lanes are pug along side car lanes until it is made difficult to drive your car. Some of what I have just described has actually happened in some cities. Cigerettes are another good example of a corporation manipulating people to do one thing and then the government manipulating them to do another. Of course riding your bike is healthy and of course not smoking. But these tactics have get used to get people to go against their own interest and relinquish their free will. This is just example of how easy it is.
DeShiia Coleman I know, that's just the reality of the last decades. Corporations have been doing it for years as-well as governments for good and for bad reasons. People like Edward Berynays basically invented this strategy of marketing and social engineering since the 20's that later gave birth to the mass consumerism we have today, it didn't simply happened because the market made it so, the very economy survives through the notion of manipulating demand through the manipulation of wants, convincing people that they need something and that it's worth it to work 8 to 12 hours a day for that extra something. I'm all for legit education before manipulation, make people realize for themselves through facts why something makes sense, but in all honesty, when you're facing certain ruthless interests that won't hesitate in using those tactics with extreme efficiency, sometimes the best way of opposing their influence is by adopting similar strategies, the herd mentality is real either we like it or not.
That is extremely stupid, there are people who are handicapped or who have injuries. It's not always obvious either - I once had a platellar injury so I was explicitly told by the doctor to avoid stairs, though random bystanders passing snide remarks wouldn't have possibly know. I can't believe that company allowed them to do that to their elevator
Okay first of all, they did this so the crowd in the elevators can be reduced and people choose stairs and inculcate at least that much exercise in their life. Second, those w the medical condition can simply ignore it and ride the elevator.
Did anyone else notice that mostly women were affected by the shaming elevator voice? It was as if their abusing boyfriend was 'negging' them, so to speak, to get the results he wanted out of them.
It sure would have been awkward if someone who was disabled had gotten on that elevator and heard that message.
Indeed
Have you noticed there is a camera in the elevator?
I would just press say 10th floor, then when I arrived there, press the button that I originally wanted to go ro
Not as awkward as your command of English. "would of" doesn't mean anything.

Because this particular elevator is often overcrowded, like they said, so they did this to encourage people who are only going up a floor or 2 to use the stairs so that people who need to go to the top floor for example can actually use the elevator for that.
@@Xiox321 that wasn't encouraging at all lol
Brilliant
Thats smart, now if someone is actually disabled or unable to take the stairs due to some medical condition they cant make it up to the floor they may need to go to (1-5). Well done smart person!
So it's like this guy didn't take into consideration that a disabled person might try to use the elevator.
gotigers98675 he is a moron
Have you noticed there is a camera in the elevator?
Here's a premise, it's a recorded voice. Don't get out.
Disabled people are lazy also.
ambulance girl well it's not your fault , with a human population of more than 7 billion , for everything thing that is done by anyone on earth there will always be someone who would get offended. There's no way you could conduct a social experiment while considering each and every possible type of people out there and without upsetting a certain type of people.
Their intentions were good but you just turned out to be the kind of person that would not benefit from this experiment instead be offended.
It would have been appalling and disrespectful if they had specifically shown a person on a wheelchair being guilt into climbing the stairs. But they didn't!!! So either they didn't come across such a situation and if they did come across such a person then they most probably handled it well.
shame stair "hey hardworker take the elevator"
You know what? We don’t need to publicly shame people , we need to make the staircase more inviting!
And if that was the case, most people only going a floor or two take the stairs, because it's usually quicker and more convenient than queuing for the lift. This is horrible for people with invisible disabilities
This is a good comment. True crowd control engineer detected.
Good way to make me want to damage the buttons.
What if they said it to a guy in a wheelchair?
That would probably be plain offensive.

I am a girl, and I am NOT lazy.
I prefer stairs, but my parents always force me into the elevator cause they're too lazy to lift the luggage even though we always get the second or first floor..
XD I take either one
Yeah, screw the handicapped people, make them all climb the stairs!
I have severe chronic bronchitis. I may not look like I'm handicapped but; I have a disability. To have an elevator tell me that I should take the stairs for a few flights ignores my disability.
Then... ignore the elevator
Obviously it isn't aimed at handicapped people. If it was then it would be called the Kanye West elevator.
Bette Davis Why are you putting somebody down with a chronic illness? It's not like they purposefully chose to have to live with that- I'm sure if they could they would choose to live without it.
I would also encourage you to read up on the actual story behind the reason hot drinks are labelled, as in, McDonald's had been serving their coffee at around 180 degrees (much higher than restaurant code required, and they had been given numerous write-ups about it) the elderly woman accidentally spilled it when the lid came off in the car, and it caused 3rd degree burns in less than 20 seconds. After this entire trial, coffee is now held in sturdier cups with warnings, just in case.
It's people like you who are critical and judging that make this world a worse place to live in.
@@klxiv5370 Jesus, well you seem nice.
@@micahturner6239 people who 'don't look disabled' get harassed and interrogated and get dirty glares all the time for using things like disabled toilets. Things like this validate people who do stuff like that and make it worse
What if it was an old woman who couldn't walk up the stairs?

i went to canada for a school trip and some of the other kids abused the elevator, they just really messed with it, i took the stairs most of the time, we were on the 6th floor. and guess what, the ones who kept messing with it eventually got stuck in there for like 10 mintues lol
Can we get 5000 subscribers with no videos? Wtf?! What country are you from? Ain't got elevators in your country? Why would anyone play in an elevator?
Hello Daddy I'm a subscriber xD
😂
cool story bro
@@georgecookie2107 kids will muck about with anything
What more interesting is the fact that people just walk out of the lift and take the stairs, cuz the elevator told them to do. It's scary what an authority can force people to do
This is not ok. God forbid someone have an invisible disability and then be shamed into having to explain their disability because they cannot take the stairs.
+Bobbie frame. What? God forbid is an idiom I am not bringing God into anything. My comment was to point out that some people have non obvious reasons for not taking stairs.
@@earthtolaurenne Snowflake
Yep that would be me lol
Is it shameful to have a disability?
@@ItsBinhRepaired well would you want to have to share great detail with people angrily interrogating you in public
Well it is a good idea. But you don't know if the people who take the elvator need to take it. Sometimes you can't see the disability.
Like me I'm 16 years old and often my knees and hips hurt really bad.Sometimes I can't even walk/move (or don't want to because it hurts so bad). Otherwise it's a good idea and it worked very well.

>proceeds to say "i know" proving there was no point for this comment in the first place
Okay alright. You want me to delete my sob story? Would you feel better after that?
Winged hunter Sorry about the knee. Is is it a permanent condition? I hear that knee/hip pain is not that uncommon for people, even teens, who engage in sports or aggressive physical activity without stretching. There was a time when I forgot to stretch before carrying a truckload of heavy boxes, and for the following 3 days, I couldn't do stairs without crawling on all fours :)
+Leimiful A more relevant example of an oversensitive prick is somebody who feels compelled to express distaste towards people for sharing personal experiences on the internet when you could just as easily ignore them.
Eric By Definition Unfortunately, yes. My doctor didn't really know what it could be and another doctor guessed it's about my connective tissue or something.
Ouch! Sounds very painful. I hope you don't forget streching again :)
Thanks for the backup :D
Then don't get out.
Being ashamed of taking an elevator is the most absurd thing I’ve hear all year. You are not any more or less lazy by deciding to, or not to climb 20 steps.
Actually, you are lazy. No one who values their time at all is going to wait at least 60 seconds every single time, to do what they can easily do in 15.
tetrabromobisphenol maybe you save 20 seconds if it’s one flight of stairs. If it’s more than one floor an elevator is going to be faster.
Kai Widman Thats the idea. If you want to go up/down one floor, go by foot.
Your an idiot .
Given the fact that most people with desk jobs live mostly sedentary lives, a tiny bit of exercise is preferable to none at all.
Instead of shaming people take those buttons off of the elevator, it might be more time consuming but it's way more polite.
What happens if you're on the 9th floor and want to get to the 2nd?
Ya no. Try people with wheel chairs or have a metal leg like i do. I have to always use my good leg first. Takes me longer to go up the stairs than the elevator. That is ontop of looking normal that this thing would yell at me..
@@ampz1466 go 1st and take the stairs lazy!
Yeah, that's brilliant... So the diabled people who can walk but not in a wheelchair can't get to where they need to go. Brilliant thought. Lol
In my dorm, there were 7 floors. The elevator would move slowly, and the doors would stay open for way too long. People living on the the upper floors really began to resant those on floor 2 who used the elevator. I myself lived on floor 6.
The elevator needs to be fixed and people on the lower floors know that it take way too long so they are less likely to use the elevator anyways at least if they value their time and have common sense.
I would've said, screw you elevator
yep, who are you to call me lazy
I couldn't help but imagine how the makers of the video would react if someone unable to walk received a message "please exit and take the stairs or "hey lazy take the stairs".
Imagine if some person in a wheelchair wanted to get to the 2nd floor and then the message would come out, hey lazy, take the stairs
Didn't even open the comments and already knew that I was alone on my perspective
In such case we can change the message just a little bit ...e.g we can say hey lazy take the stair ..if ur not sick or handicap
My quad friend would probably like it because it would make more room in the elevator for her wheelchair.
Theyd probably think it was funny
Emotional black mail, people have a enough to deal with. Embarrassing people isnt kind, we need more kindness
"I didn't know the stairs were there" The ones directly in front of the elevators? Yeah sure.
Negative reinforcement always has unintended side effects. It would be cool to add positive reinforcement on the stairs as well.
Let me get this straight... the idea is to shame people for using a piece of technology for exact purpose it was designed for? If riding the elevator from the lobby to the first few floors is socially abhorrent then why does the elevator have buttons for those floors? How is riding the elevator from the lobby to the 3rd floor more shameful than riding it to the 4th or the 5th. At what floor does is become no longer shameful (6, 7, 20)? Who decides? This is such complete bullshit.
I literally looked up herd mentality and this is pretty accurate to what I was expecting.
Its a free country, I could do what ever I want so no elevator gonna tell me what do do😂😂😂
Nobody:
Americans:
iTS a fReE cOuNTrY
@@ScrubLordKyle i meannn it is tho 🤷♀️💀
In a crowded elevator, say, I’m glad you could all make it. You are the chosen ones.
“Take the stairs” Me: Aint nobody got time for that!
Last time I checked, this was america. I'll take the elevator whenever and to where ever I want.
Last time I checked, this was America. I'll call people out on their laziness whenever and wherever I want. Did I miss the part where anybody was forced out of the elevator at gunpoint?
I not only think this is rude but what if a person had just had surgery or has had surgery . What about people that has sever anxiety issues ... think about them to. They could have a melt down if other people are in there and they think they are being judged. Also what about the people who have heart and lung issues . This is just a rude thing to do!
Wow this is blatantly fake, using actors. 0:43 white haired chick and 2:02 pink hat wearing chick, same person.

I didn't even notice that, just recognized her face. Oh well, now there is no denying it.
Xendrus Idziak There was one actor in there. This isn't fake as she was the only one speaking and trying to get people in the elevator to say something.
The Official Illuminati
Link with source? or did you just make that one up to sound intelligent?
Xendrus Idziak Not made up. Just think about it. It's obvious in the video that she's an actor.
I don’t know why I laughed so hard him saying , “be ashamed of taking elevator to the second floor “
There's no way that woman didn't know the stairs even existed 😂
What if I am a delivery guy and I have to go to every third floor in the city ?
Then you ignore the message that obviously wasn't intended for yoh
"hey lazy take the stairs"
@@GoopyProduction, but you still feel embarrassed because a) you're human and b) you realize everyone else in the elevator doesn't know the message doesn't apply to you.
There is no harm in taking the elevator, it is there for people to use.
Shame is not a good motivation...
Love is...
Lol everyone is talking about people on wheelchairs but no one is talking about the fact that shame is one of the worst ways to teach somebody a meaningful and helpful lesson...
I would've been like "Shut up, your an elevator it's what you do" 😁😁
Just wait for a person in a wheelchair to get into an elevator and try and get to the second floor.
My dad can't use stairs because of health problems. So he takes elevators even for 2nd floor. This is very rude way to feel anyone bad.
I have a disability and if I put in the huge effort it takes me to get anywhere only to hear a message shaming me for not climbing the stairs...I would feel hurt and angry.
I can see what they are trying to accomplish, trying to reduce elevator crowding. But, as a disabled person, with mobility issues, I struggle to use the stairs, even if its just one floor. I would feel so terrible if this happened to me.
Right, shame people for using the elevator, truly helping humanity.
I'm over here wondering why anyone would take the awkward elevator with strangers instead of taking 30 extra steps to the next floor o_o
+Raluca Laptes he was just saying.
Exactly, who likes waiting around like that every single time. Only someone with lazy habits would put up with that.
What the fuck? Elevators were invented so people don't habe to wals the stairs. What's the fucking problem with using it? People should be ashamed for not having the patience to wait a few SECONDS for people to get out off the elevator, no matter WHICH floor...
So stupid...
just shut up
My aunt was in a wheelchair and had to take the elevator, but couldn't because it was full of people who could walk
+dXb IMO the purpose of taking an elevator is to decrease the time it takes to get to a higher (or lower) floor in a large building. It takes almost the same amount of the time to take the stairs to the floor above you as it does to ride the elevator. There's no point in taking up valuable space in an elevator simply because you are too lazy to walk up one flight.
Kinda fucked up guys. You don't know what that persons just recently been through/going through. Someone could appear perfectly healthy when in actuality they could have a real disability that hinders their endurance...its not anyone's job/responsibility to tell someone how they should get to the next part of their day.
They are not telling them how to "get to the next part of their day" because it is their responsibility to do so, they are doing it because they can, and because it is their responsibility to manage traffic flow. It is not their responsibility to tell people anything, but it is their right. I agree that an automated system telling strangers they are lazy is a bit clumsy and rude. A simple, 'Please use the stairs if you are physically able,' would be better.
I once walked down 24 flights of stairs just to avoid using an elevator
So when a person feels under the weather and has monday blues, the elevator says take the stairs. Great start to a day. Even the elevator is messing with the person. 😂
You can't tell by looking at me that I have an inner ear disease that causes me to become extremely dizzy, without warning, so stairs can be dangerous for me.
*Lazy Hack:-*
1) Go Up to 5th Floor.
2) Then Go down to 2nd Floor.
what if you were on the top floor and used the elevator to get to the 2nd floor?
bluedragon859 hey lazy, take the stairs
CrystalCritter disabled people.
CrystalCritter unless there is no other way.
Honestly regardless of the fact that I can't easily take the stairs I'd have probably told the elevator to f off.
I'm all for encouraging more stair usage, for people who are able. But then the building should be designed with the stairs clearly marked out, well maintained and easily accessible. Most staircases tend to be fire escapes that haven't been cleaned and are clearly marked out
For emergency situations know where the stairs are is helpful. Taking the stairs helps with that.
*Walking up to the 3rd level* is still OK. The blood gets flowing. The rush and relaxation afterwards is nice.
I know a nice woman, she is afraid of elevators, she places her shopping bags into the elevator, then she walks up 10 levels, then she collects the shopping bags near the door :-)
I'll take the stairs because it gives me a good excuse to look at the travelling cable and counterweight in the glass elevator shaft.
Although this is from 2014, the actual question is "Does National Geographic discriminated against disabled people, including those with hidden disabilities?" and the answer is "As this disgusting experiment shows, yes, yes it does." To think NG used to once be considered good quality
"Lazy elevator users". Yeah, this from a guy who has never spent 8 hours in heels.
1:09 google her name and look who is getting shamed now LMAO
Now Imagine I'm holding lots of groceries going to level 2
They should install this in the elevator of my building
No, i just took a fresh shower and drive all the way to work and looking handsome, i'm not gonna walk 3 floors by the time i arrived my office the back of my shirt will be soaked with sweat. But i do tend to walk the stairs when i'm only one floor away, cuz it's faster that way.
You sweat from walking up three flights of stairs? And not only that, but soaked with sweat? Really? How charming.
Bette Davis inside the staircase has no AC, so it gets pretty hot, and yes, men's shirts r pretty thin and the material doesn't absorb a single sweat, so yea, you'll see some stains on back soaked by sweat.
Erik H then u must be really fat or unhealthy to sweat
***** Everybody sweats at a diffrent point. I sweat really fast due to suffring from Astma. I get hot really fast. No body works the same way.
i can sweat a lot even when im not doing anything and standing still.

"Hey lazy! Take the stairs!"

"I have recently recovered from a broken ankle"
Someone in a wheelchair rolls in and it says ‘hey lazy take that stairs 😂
So they leave.. and everybody still has to wait while the elevator now opens on the next floor for no reason
Ok, but what healthy person takes the elevator to go one floor up?
I once worked in a company and I had a really funny manager. One time after a day of work, me and three other women where taking the elevator down to leave the office. It was about five floors but to reach one floor you had to climb a lot of stairs.
My manager found us lazy because we where taking the elevator and he really wanted us to take the stairs, wich we didn't. So one day we all left at the same time and he and an other co-worker ran down the stairs and they pressed the elevator button at every floor. So the elevator door opened at every floor for about five times. It took us a while to get down. At some point we where so frustrated that it took so long to get down that we had to take the stairs.
We laughed at it then and I can still laugh at it now. (Good thing nobody was disabled).
BTW: men should try taking the stairs with high heels. You will look at us women in a whole diffrent way ;-). Taking a lot of stairs while wearing heels can feel like a marathon.
Grow a pair of balls, stop whining about your fkn heels, no one cares.
wouldn't work on me cuz i would have headphones in listening to music.
"Hey Lazy! *Take the Stairs!!! *
@2:17 Woman: "For the first 6 months we were in this building, I didn't even know the stairs were there. @2:24: Same woman takes the stairs that are DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ELEVATOR. LOL
If they were lazy smart, they would just go further down or up and then go to their desired floor lol
Kind of Orwellian. Sad that so many people were so easily manipulated....but not surprising.
And almost exclusively women leaving and going for the stares because a machine told them to. Common ladies ...we gotta work on our fortitude.
DeShiia Coleman This is giving you more the illusion of choice than our natural blind tendency of doing what others are doing, plus it's making you healthier. I see no harm in this.
AwkwardRenegade I don't mean to say that taking the stairs when you only need to go one floor up is bad. It the element of social engineering through subtle manipulation. Governments and corporations do it all the time. Ex: A government wants you to ride tour bike more. So they fund studies on how bike riding is really good for you and have it run on all the news channles.While simultaneously funding studies on the amount of car accidents each year and how they have gone up every year sense cars where invented (neglecting to mention that that is because there have been more cars every yea sense cars where invented). Now every time there is a car crash the news covers it as if it were a plane crash. Then a tax is passed on every car purchase. School programs are put in to educate kids about the merits of bikes and the danger of cars. Finally more and more bike lanes are pug along side car lanes until it is made difficult to drive your car. Some of what I have just described has actually happened in some cities. Cigerettes are another good example of a corporation manipulating people to do one thing and then the government manipulating them to do another. Of course riding your bike is healthy and of course not smoking. But these tactics have get used to get people to go against their own interest and relinquish their free will. This is just example of how easy it is.
DeShiia Coleman I know, that's just the reality of the last decades. Corporations have been doing it for years as-well as governments for good and for bad reasons. People like Edward Berynays basically invented this strategy of marketing and social engineering since the 20's that later gave birth to the mass consumerism we have today, it didn't simply happened because the market made it so, the very economy survives through the notion of manipulating demand through the manipulation of wants, convincing people that they need something and that it's worth it to work 8 to 12 hours a day for that extra something.
I'm all for legit education before manipulation, make people realize for themselves through facts why something makes sense, but in all honesty, when you're facing certain ruthless interests that won't hesitate in using those tactics with extreme efficiency, sometimes the best way of opposing their influence is by adopting similar strategies, the herd mentality is real either we like it or not.
Please tell me you don't have offspring. I swear to god, an idiot like you being multiplied would be my worst nightmare.
I wouldnt take the stairs lol
That is extremely stupid, there are people who are handicapped or who have injuries. It's not always obvious either - I once had a platellar injury so I was explicitly told by the doctor to avoid stairs, though random bystanders passing snide remarks wouldn't have possibly know. I can't believe that company allowed them to do that to their elevator
When I get off an elevator I quickly push all the buttons and get out and laugh! Yep I'm that guy!
What happens if it's an old lady or a mom with a stroller and quadruplets
Okay first of all, they did this so the crowd in the elevators can be reduced and people choose stairs and inculcate at least that much exercise in their life. Second, those w the medical condition can simply ignore it and ride the elevator.
Did anyone else notice that mostly women were affected by the shaming elevator voice?
It was as if their abusing boyfriend was 'negging' them, so to speak, to get the results he wanted out of them.
I always love it when people at my office take the elevator down 2 floors to go to the gym.
