Etiquette

Hi friends,

Two things happened to me in the elevator today plus other things I see!

1. I was waiting on ground floor for the lift. A kid and his two sisters came out, and I went in. The sisters were looking at me when they were leaving. It turns out that the kid had pushed all the button on the elevator. So I had to stop on floors 1 and 2 before I got to my floor. How Rude!

2. I was coming down the elevator, and got to the ground floor. As the doors opened, a man was guiding a woman into the elevator. He had his arm stretched out, guiding the woman into the elevator. They both saw me, and both continued to walk in. I had to walk out, and I walked out at the same time the woman was walking in. She did not even stop to think to let the passenger off the elevator. How Rude!

3. Some one else is using my door mat! How Rude!

4. Some people disrespect public property; like some kids put up stickers on elevator doors and in passageways. They made scratches on elevator's interiors. How rude!

5. People bang their main doors. People leave garbage outside their doors, complete with smell emanating, when there is a garbage chute available on each floor. How Rude!

There is something called "etiquette" which I guess people don't realy put to use here!

Well, this is bound to happen. I guess it is not as bad as some of the bigger buildings that I have been into. Generally, the owner and the wacthman of my building do all they can to keep it clean, but they have no control over the kind of people. I mean, out of respect, I throw my garbage down the chute, others dont. It's simple stuff to observe etiquette in public places...
