sidcow Posted February 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2017 People who when a lift has arrived quickly run into it, hit their floor and hit close doors when they know damn well someone else is approaching the lift when they know someone is coming just so they don't have to share the lift with anyone else. It's so bloody annoying and selfish. The reason this shouldn't piss me off though (because it does, intensely) is because I will do it myself. Shameful.

sidcow Posted February 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2017 When a packed commuter train pulls into the main station where 99% of people are getting off, but someone wants to get on why do they stand in the middle of the bloody door still getting in everyone's way and actually delaying the emptying of the train? Just stand aside numpty. You will actually get on quicker by letting everyone off first. It's not like the second the last person gets off the doors will immediately slam shut like a transfer window and the train set off without you. I have mentioned them before but their even more annoying cousin are the people stood at the door who are not getting off but stand there forcing everyone into the small doorway gap they leave to the side. I mean just step onto the platform won't you? It's not going to hurt is it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bloody day, he makes me move as well, not yesterday, I barged into him, then apologised profusely, I am british after all, that will learn him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2017 On the subject of lifts. I work in an office with 3 floors (G, 1 & 2) so I'll say people who use it to go up 1 floor, or people who ever use it to go down. Unless you're injured or carrying something, none of those scenarios are acceptable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I used to work somewhere with a lift and 3 floors too, it was the slowest, noisiest elevator I'd ever seen, and had glass doors, right next to the stairs. I used to quite enjoy the look of embarrassment on people's face when I'd make eye contact overtaking them. Almost always people that could clearly have benefitted from the exercise too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work on the second (U.S.: third) floor of a ten storey building. I always used the stairs. One day we had an I.T. consultant visiting, and I went down to reception to meet her. She was a VERY overweight American woman. Without even thinking about it, I led her to the stairs, noticing too late her wistful look at the lift. After about five steps she was huffing and puffing and breaking into a sweat. I sort of felt guilty, and sort of not. Couldn't really say anything, of course.

Ingram85 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Come the revolution, anyone who uses the lift/escalator or whatever when stairs are available will be shot, unless there are genuine disabilities (being morbidly Billy Bunterish doesn't count I'm afraid) at play of course. I'm not a complete monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2017 I work on the second floor and I usually grab the lift when I can. And I do need the exercise. However I use the lift because walking into our office in winter or summer is like walking into an oven. In the summer the skinny/old girls moan that the air-conditioning is freezing them and campaign for it to be switched off and in the winter they moan it's freezing unless the heating is pumped up to 26, yes I said 26 degrees. I operate a bit of a guerilla war against them and the heating Hitlers who have the power over the controls because I downloaded the manual from tinternet and learned how to change it. Most of the time they don't know because I get it set to a reasonable temperature which is about OK for most, but if I over cool it they come marching over to shout at me for messing with the aircon again. Anyway I use the lift to avoid any increase in body temperate before I walk into the inferno. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it becomes clear that they will actually make it before the doors close. Then I'll quickly jam my arm between the doors to stop them closing and make it look like I held the lift for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just thought of another which has been bugging me for a while. I have realised a lot of my gripes are train related. People who get on busy trains packed shoulder to shoulder and keep their backpacks on constantly bashing anyone in the vicinity everytime they move a millimetre in any direction. And then keep moving considerably more than a millimetre acting like they've got ants in their bloody pants whacking people around the head and pushing over small kids with their whirling dervish of a backpack. Take is off and put it on the floor you cruntip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
