a socially awkward experiment

after experiencing an especially socially awkward situation today, i'm running an experiment and i'd love feedback if you have any.

Scene

• an elevator
• an office building
• Pittsburgh 
• (but could be any elevator, in any building,  in any city)

Background

• when i am on an elevator by myself, i always walk to either side, push the button i need, and stay on the side, typically leaned against the wall until my stop
• if i happen to not be close to the wall, and someone else gets on, i immediately move against the wall
• i like my space.
• i do not like when people are standing awkwardly close to me when other options are available
  

Story

• i get on an elevator this afternoon
• there is a woman standing in the absolute center of the elevator, with equal empty space on all sides
• i walk on, heading to the left side, to push the button
• the woman doesn't move
  
• i lean against the wall, looking toward the door
  
• the woman doesn't move
• i realize the woman is actually standing at an angle, rather than looking directly ahead at the door.
• her angle happens to be in my direction
• the woman continues to stand in the middle of the elevator, facing me, rather than the door
  
• there is less than one foot of space between her and myself
• the average dimensions of a passenger elevator are 51" x 80"
• this leaves 39" x 68" feet of other space where she could be standing (this might be wrong, i'm bad at math, you get the idea)
  

Results

• if you are the only person in an elevator, feel free to stand wherever you want
• if someone else gets in, it is polite to move to one side or the other, so as not to invade personal space
• if you happen to be turned a certain direction, it is polite to shift your stance so as not to stare

Further Research

• when you are on an elevator by yourself, where do you stand?
• do you change position when someone else joins you?
• am i completely crazy for being frustrated by this lady?
