"You Don't Want to Go There."
Overheard in the elevator: "You don't want to go there." --- referring to floor 11 (where the mathematicians are) and filled with much fear and trepidation, and also a bit of disdain.
The two of us in the elevator destined for floor 11 stayed quiet. Sometimes it's not even worth starting.
