And he got out of the lift thinking 'what a rude git'

You need to get a life.

I talk to people in lifts, they can't even avoid me with all the mirrors and shiny surfaces, unless they close their eyes and start la-lahing to themselves... though there was a wierd bloke in the lift this morning that I'd never seen before.

You for got the most important rule, if you drop one, make sure its very stealthy and always look at the others in the lift with disgust

[QUOTE 2946801, member: 1314"]We have 3 lifts in our building. The protocol is:

That when the lift doors are closing you must not press the button to re-open them to gain entry. That is rude.

You must not enter a lift with a worker from a different company. That is rude.

You must not talk. That is rude.

This morning I parked my bike in the basement then walked to reception, got in the lift. A bloke then broke all 3 cardinal rules of lift etiquette. I studiously gave him the blank.[/quote]

WTF


this is a joke right?

If you must fart, do it silently, then wrinkle your nose in an offended manner and cast accusatory glances at your fellow liftees.

[QUOTE 2946854, member: 1314"]I thought very carefully about the OP, about whether it would make me seem like a grumpy old git. The guy blatantly broke protocol. There’s no point in saying sorry as he entered the lift as he intentionally re-opened the doors. It’s on par with undertaking cyclists. In the measure of things, ok there’s starvation in the Sudan, kids with no shoes in Bombay and thousands killed by flooding in Asia.

However in the minutiae of office protocol it’s above him nicking my stapler, but below sitting at my desk and clipping his toenails.[/quote]

Just in case you are still in any doubt - yes it does.

I agree with Rule 1, that annoys me too.
Rule 3 seems a bit odd.
Rule 2 is down right maddness.

 

[MontyVeda]

all three rules are utterly bonkers.

but i can forgive Crockers for sounding like a grumpy old sod... it is Monday morning after all... maybe he'll have lightened up a bit by Tuesday afternoon.

You need to get a lifet of your own

Are we allowed to do FTFY nowadays?

Are we allowed to do FTFY nowadays?

If that was a serious question, then yes, what you have done is fine for comic effect and because it is clear that you have changed the quote (from Spinney-as-mod).

Wonder what would happen if you had a real cheek rattler and then burst out laughing. Small spaces do do funny things to humans

 

[ufkacbln]

You have missed the Cardinal Rule for the use of lifts

When the lift arrives, step forward to the door, and then block the egress so that no-one can get off

Then stand there with a blank look and wonder why you can't get in

Not to mention use the lift to go up one floor.

I enjoy beating people who do this... By using the stairs quicker.
