RANT! Elevator Etiquette

**mazdamazda** · May 26th, 2006 10:11 AM

1. People who try to get in before you get out. This is just plain rude. Ang ginagawa ko minsan ay to stand in the middle of the elevator door para lalo lang sila mahirapan.

2. People who take "round trips". Kapag pupunta ako sa basement level, yung ibang tao sa ground floor eh sasakay na. Kapag pababa naman at rush hour (lunchtime or uwian), yung iba sumasakay na paakyat pa lang ng elevator... so puno na siya pagbaba. Both instances causes delays.

3. People who hog the space near the floor selector buttons. Andaming ganito! Parang yun ang fave spot. Kapag ako ang napwesto malapit dun, I leave a 1 foot space so that people can easily press their desired floor. Yung iba naman kapag nakita ung 1 foot gap na yun eh pumipilit na sumingit pa. Sheesh.

4. People who stand near the door but don't give way to disembarking passengers.

5. People who don't want to move the rear portion. Minsan maluwag pa sa bandang likod ayaw man lamang gumalaw.

Andami pa... hehehe...

1. people who press down or up, but when the elevator stops at their floor, they don't go in. daming ganyan dito sa rcbc plaza.

2. group of people riding with you who talks like they don't give a damn who is with them inside the elevators. true for call center peeps here at the rcbc plaza. tropa-tropa, mga nagsisigawan pa.

3. people who fart inside elevators
4. people riding with you who smells "amoy-araw...."
5. related to item 4..... you are riding the elevator with an arab or with an indian...
6. people who unload their garbage inside the elevators - again, with some isolated cases at the rcbc plaza.
7. there are two of you in the elevator, and the other one is a big papsi (bakla).

other elevator rants....

1. slow elevators.
2. slow elevators while you are waiting at the ground floor....your office is at the 30th floor. and you are late....
3. slow elevators while you are waiting at the ground floor....your office is at the 30th floor, and your boss keeps calling you because you have a network crash....
4. being trapped in an elevator in the middle of the 20th and the 21st floor.
5. being trapped in an elevator in the middle of the 5th and the 6th floor, and the emergency button or the intercom is not working... (happened to me na.... -> vicente madrigal building...)
6. elevator too fast, as if humuhuni tenga mo, parang you are inside a plane which is taking off.
7. being trapped in the elevator with item 7, above.

dito rin... buset.

yung 3 elevators dito upto 26th floor... yung mga tao sa 25th floor... amp! laging pinipindot na "up" eh hindi naman sila sasakay. lech.

o kaya minsan... mag press ng up/down... then ang tagal sumakay... nakikipag chikahan pa... tapos i hold pa yung elevator... tapos biglang hindi na raw siya sasakay.

argghh true!

isa pa... pupunuin yung elevator after one floor, magbababaan lahat. Arggghhh. If one could take the stairs, please TAKE the stairs! (shempre case to case to)
