Standard Courtesies In an Elevator
Whoever reaches the elevator first goes first. After pushing the button for the floor you wish to get to, move to the back of the elevator. If the elevator is full and you can’t reach the button, ask someone close to push the button for your floor, suing “Please,” of course.
If the elevator is jammed with people, don’t attempt to cram yourself in. Wait for the next elevator. It is always nice for the person in an elevator to hold the door open or push the “door open” button, just as it is just as polite to let the person go ahead to their destination.
While in transit up or down, do not stare at other people, smack gun, talk on your cell phone or sing with your MP3 player. Try not to use the reflective wall as a mirror for grooming.
If you see someone you know on the elevator, have only small talk if others are riding also. Do not whisper, as this is rude.
If by any chance there is an elevator operator be cordial, using “please” and “thank you.”
Riding the Escalator
Keep to the right at all times, so others can past you if needed. If you are the rider passing, politely say “Excuse me.” If the escalator is full, be patient and wait until you are to the destination.
When stepping onto and off of an escalator, do not stop to look around. Move immediately so others can get off.
Tomorrow, we will cover Standard Courtesies On the Sidewalk.
See you soon,
Teresa

I am now working in a an office building where I frequently use the elevator with others. I find it very awkward!
ReplyDeleteI agree, and I don't believe that those feelings will change. It is just strange being that close to strangers. It helps knowing that you are doing the proper thing.
ReplyDeleteIt just feels funny for two people to stand side by side staring straight ahead. Ugh. If you have any more elevator tips, I would appreciate it... or I might just start using the stairs!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Abilgail. I don't think there is a comfortable situation. I don't feel comfortable on an elevator unless I longtime friends, and that too can be uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteI will see what else I can find.
