If the remaining person is Flower, you move a little closer in front of him and drop to your knees. Duh.

If you are standing in a row then i assume the car is wide enough that you have comfortable spacing, otherwise you should already have spread out front to back. Since you have spacing, you can remain. On the other hand you could move w/o seeming rude if there was some need to get even further away (smell).

I wouldn't know, I use a private elevator. Sharing is for poor people with no class.

Oh, sure, lord it over those who live in walk-ups.

My former martial arts instructor eloped and his wife is now pregnant and they are having a party to celebrate their wedding and the upcoming baby. I am going to the party with the other people he used to train. We have known each other a long time and have hung out socially as well.

He is not the type to have a registry for baby gifts but his wife thought it was a good idea. I am looking on the registry now and all the items are really inexpensive -- like $4.99 for a rattle, $10.00 for a blanket, etc.

For a good friend sometimes I spend about $200 on a baby gift. For a not so good friend, usually $75 to 100. However, I am going to have to buy up all the items on the registry to get anywhere near that. I suspect the items are inexpensive because he's the type that doesn't want his friends to spend a whole ton of money on him.

However, I don't know what to do -- how much should I spend so I don't come off as excessive, but at the same time, I don't want to come off as cheap. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
What about going in with the other people that are part of your group for something a bit more extravagant, like a car seat or glider or changing table or something? Sort of a group present?

All good thoughts, thank you everyone. I will mull this all over.

I stay in the middle, so as to give everyone the best view of my ass.

A related question: You are crammed in an elevator with five people, but have a good view, over the shoulder of the rider crammed directly in front of you, of the Elevator TV. Everyone gets out but you and the person in front of you.

Must you move to the other side and give up your view, or can you stay crammed in the corner?

You always move to a corner. The corners get filled first, then the walls furthest from anyone else. Then, it's just a matter of spacing.

I would move to the side.

or to the back.

weird, I was going to post that on the train, if someone starts an inane conversation I stick in my IPod headphones and turn up the music. I now am spoiled and feel that urge to do the same thing in an elevator. Not sure if it is the time of year with the summers and the interns but lots of irritating conversations in elevators as of late. One rationalizes that in an elevator, how long can you be stuck there? long enough to have to endure a stupid conversation. And why do people feel compelled to make forced conversation about the most inane things [to each other, not me] or to disclose embarassing personal info in an elevator? it's simply squirm worthy. people feel the need to fill the empty air just like they feel compelled to carry on loud conversations on a packed train at 6am. who wants to hear your ass at 6 am? it is what drove me to buy the ipod in the first place.

Actually, the second law of thermodynamics forces you to move to the corner.

Not unrelatedly, when the elevator doors are closed, you can't tell whether you're moving very fast or not at all.
