Given that people probably
live closer to each other today than ever before, it could be induced therefore
that everybody speaks to their neighbours and knows their names. But these
photos show that communication between households in apartment buildings
appears to be limited to elevator messages.Snapped in various apartment
elevators in urban dwellings, it is clear to see that some people prefer to
look on the bright side when their neighbours annoy them, while others simply
like to vent their anger. Either way, they certainly make for
some entertaining reading for those who find themselves starring at the inside
of an escalator killing time while they ascend the building. Comical message joke about keeping farts outside of the
elevator, and questioning whether or not the stairs are broken to access lower
floors. One joker has also drawn
on a picture of 'Time machine' doors on the escalator entrance. While another
explains, in farm animal terms, just what the weight limit is for the lift.
Others, however, reveal
their bitterness and anger in their venting escalator messages. One person
accuses anyone of using the ventilator for lower floors as being FAT, and
illustrates so with a hand-drawn picture. And there is certainly an
understandable air of resentment in a message from someone complaining about an
anonymous vomiting person, who failed to clean up their mess. As is there a
feeling of being fed up in a note complaining about a woman regularly screaming
that she's 'coming'. Sadly we don't know if these messages had their desired
effect - to get vomit cleaned up, to prevent lower down residents from hogging
the lift, and to encourage one neighbour to lower her volume while having sex.
