In social situation, everyone knows the gentlemen are supposed to hold the door for the lady.
When it comes to elevators, however, people appear to be clueless on the proper protocols involved.
If everyone would follow these simple rules of etiquette, society would be better off.
• First- please, please, please wait for those exiting the elevator to get off before forcing youe way on.
• Second, after entering the elevator please allow room for everyone to get on without holding up the car. Also, give everyone as much space as possible.
• Third, the person by the button panel should push the buttons for everyone else in the car.
Other riders should simply say, “Four please,” to indicate thay want to exit on the fourth floor.
Never reach around, across, in front of or underneath someone to push your button. If there is no one in front of the panel, feel free to push your own button.
