All we need is just a little patience

The elevator bank for the portion of the office that I work on has six elevators. Even though they're really slow, I don't think I've ever waited more than one minute to get an elevator after I push the button to go up from the ground floor. Could someone please explain to me, though, why others feel the need to rush to catch an elevator before it closes so they can squeeze in? Is anyone really that anxious to get to their desk one minute earlier in the morning?
