Definately not rude.  You're in a restroom.  There are more bodily noises heard in there than anywhere.

This isn't the first time someone has asked this.\n\nI see a lot of people tackled this question and there are alot of good answers! It is true that if the power goes out you could get trapped, and yes smoke can enter the elevator chamber.  Most newer elevators do have a recall feature if smoke is detected.  No question the best policy is to always use the stairs!\n\nBasically, the problem with older elevators is they have a nasty habit of going to the floor with the fire. This is because the heat from the fire has been known to short out the call system wiring and the elevator controller interprets it the same as someone hitting the button. So if you are riding in the elevator, the dang thing may deliver you right to the floor with the fire! \n\nNewer elevators are usually connected to the building's fire alarm system and/or a series of smoke detectors outside the elevator shaft. In the event the smoke detectors near any of the elevator doors or in the machine rooms trip, the system overrides all call buttons and immediately takes the car to a pre-designated floor (generally the lowest level unless that's the floor the fire was detected on.) The cars can then only be used until the alarm system is reset or the system is overridden with a key. (Firefigters can use this feature. When in override mode, the controller only responds to manual controls from inside the car.)\n\nI hope this answers your question.

I am Asian and live in an Asian country and as far as Asian cultures go, we don't really speak to strangers whether it's in an elevator or not. We just go our own ways. If the person's face is familiar although not really an acquaintance, you just nod your head towards them in acknowledgement of their presence but that's it. People can go about their business without the small talk and it won't be considered rude.

Elevators are not necessarily inoperable in a fire.\n\nIf a fire is in the building, most likely you will not be trapped like they show in the movies.  The elevator should go to the lobby floor and open.\n\nThe "use stairs in case of fire" signage is there because:  \n\nA)  The elevators have all gone to the lobby level and can only be operated by firefighters at that point.\n\nB)  To prevent people from getting in an elevator and getting off on a floor where there is a fire.\n\nYou can get stuck in an elevator in a building that has a power outage that has no emergency generator, though.
