Yes, you may have not heard of it but there are simple etiquette to follow when using the lift or elevator.
Attending a meeting at Menara Citibank, I never realised that my visit would be giving my blood pressure a little kick.
Here's what I wrote on Facebook about my experience:
FAIL 1Lift door opens and an elderly man needs to step out. Young male in his 20s does not move aside for the elderly man to step out of the lift. A few seconds pass... I get fed up, moved past the elderly man and stands face to face with young male, our noses almost touching, staring eye to eye with him. He looked at me like he did nothing wrong. Eventually, young male moves aside. I let the elderly man out. Victory for manners?
I am not advocating for us Malaysians to be vigilantes but I am all for the creation of awareness to the younger generation on the need to observe manners.
And, to have manners and to be civilized.
This basic rule of thumb of letting people out of the lift first is also applied at train stations, busses and etc.
So the next time you are in a hurry to sprint into the lift or train, please left others out first.
Especially the elderly, the handicapped and the ladies.
Have a great day world!
