    …so I’ve been on a shit load of elevators, and I don’t recall a single one of them having music. For as common a trope as it is, you’d think elevator music would be more common in actual elevators.

      It’s like porn, they all used to have music, and now people still make jokes about how bad it was but it’s just gone now

      Some hotel elevators have it.

      But yeah, I don’t recall the last time I heard music in a residential elevator.

      I worked in an office that installed music in the bathrooms. It wasn’t there for a long time, and then they added it. An email went out at one point instructing people to stop turning off the music (someone figured out where the Sonos controls were I guess). Someone at the top had decided it was IMPERATIVE to have something to listen to other than the coworker grunting next to you.
