elevator etiquette

My new office building requires people who come in before 7am to use an access card to open the front door and to use the elevators.  For the elevators, you have to put in your card and leave it in there while you press the button for your floor.  Now, wouldn’t you expect the first person in the elevator to put in his or her card and then leave it there so that everyone else getting on could press their buttons?  But that’s not what people in this building do!  They put in their card, press their button, and snatch their card out!  😛

This morning, I was the second person in the elevator; the first woman did the snatchy-out thing.  Then I put in my card to press my button and left my card there for the last man to press his button, too… but he had his own card out and was waiting for me to remove mine, and he gave me this weird look, all "what are you doing leaving your card there?"  Hah!
