Am I the
only one troubled by lift users? Are we not supposed to follow certain
etiquettes considering that is a public property? You of course know what to do
in a lift.. but do you know what not to do? Read on. No wonder if you find
yourself in one of the below situation as a victim or a culprit.
·
Do
not attend/make a call while you are in a lift. Of course we know you don’t
catch proper signal but we don’t deserve hear your shouting either.
·
Mirrors
are attractive in lift. But you do have them everywhere else.. do not embarrass
others by adjusting your saree pin or cleaning your nose or worse, moist your
palms and set your hair. The co-lift users are not blind.
·
Yes
I may be watching a video or chatting with a friend on phone. Not even in wildest
dreams it can be porn, so kindly refrain from peeping into my proximity with
your squint eyes.. I may throw up on you due to your nauseating perfume.
·
Mr.Mis-user
of opportunity, if you try poking your elbow to my modest parts, I do not mind
questioning you loud in public. Gone are the days when could you soothe your
desires by act-accidentally touching a woman. Pay and receive respect.
·
I
know you are immersed intensely in a mobile conversation. But you are not
moving either. You are struck on my way to enter or exit the lift..hell even to
the number panel. How am I supposed to press the button? I do not have zig-zag
arms to trace the path to number panel without touching you... Kindly MOVE.
·
Do
not, I repeat, do not check out the girl or guy you find very attractive in the
lift. Simultaneously, someone next to you might be watching you in the mirror
& catch you during your I-spy act. Better to stop yourself rather than
hanging your head down in shame.
·
Be
a gentleman. Let the lady in the lift exit first. Do not indulge in cheap
pleasure of rubbing against her in the race of exiting the lift. However, you
are not going to win any race in that fraction of second.
·
Last
but of most importance, please spare people in the lift from dying of
suffocation. If you are a person who does not like bathing every day, or least
using a deo, please use stairs. Stay dirty but stay healthy.
The journey
in the lift is short, If you can’t behave well during this short journey, you
are nothing more than an animal.
Issued in
the spirit of “Swach Bharath Andholan”, to cleanse your attitude towards small
but a prominent public place.
