digging the new crib,,,such lovely views from where i am right now,such charming co-tenants,,,except for mr and mrs MEANIE.theyre co tenants,living a floor below us.
what made me write a topic about them you ask?

mr.and mrs meanie doesnt like elevator sharing.among all of us tenants,we have concluded that they are the only people ENTITLED to use the lift.
there was one time i attempted to share the lift with them(being the tenant living on the last floor while carrying bags of groceries)i was given a "SHUHADA!"reply from the wife and a TSK!from the hubby.
i mean what the....?!?!?

can someone guide me as to what elevator ettiquete we have here in the gulf?

oh,,,btw,patience and goodwill has never been my virtue.:)

It's not about ettiquette. when she said "shou hada" it means that she did not like what she saw (maybe your cloth are too much prevailing).

I think I know the couple you're talking about. Absolute idiots. When I first moved in they were upset because I was given a parking space with my apartment and put up a sign saying "private parking" they tore in down and parked in the spot, although there were plenty of other spots.

never heard of a certain gulf elevator etiquette...

Just rush inside and pretend you don't see them.

I saw shoe before, and I don't think he can be considered as a threat or offensive-looking person besides shoe have the brightest hue in the color wheel... ^_^

Shoeaddict,

I was just teasing you about you avatar picture don’t take us too serious ;)

I was a bit harsh on you (as a wake up call) because you should have immediately noticed that the scene you described has nothing to do with etiquette and its all about xenophobia, racism and ignorance!

Just an advice, be assertive and do not allow any one to abuse you, especially in cases like the one you described.

Mr. Nic and exlegend.we live here with a purpose,therefore if your purpose in life is to SHOVE people around to get ahead or not to let people share common spaces with others then what really gives?

i only asked if there are rules and norms in using lifts.

and for the ugly crocodile pair of boots(in case you have no idea that its NOT)why are you affected by it?

hmmmmm...interesting...

Elevator ettiquette?

I just wanted them to take bath properly and observe proper hygiene so that thier stink won't stuck inside the elevator.

and just get in the lift. they don't own it so what the heck if they don't want you or anybody inside.

i remember last night, i was happily drinking (an almost finished) bottle of coconut juice when i was in the lift when the door opened, the guy just stood there staring at me gulping the last drop. heh.

- ooops. sorry, off-topic. :P

Maybe your ugly crocodile boots scared them!

Now seriously man, why bring this silly personal incident here?

Why not just force yourself into the lift or deal with it with the direct concerned ones?

Obviously you have racist and uneducated idiots as neighbors and no one here can help you except you.

In these days of bluetooth technology may be they are concerned that just your presence would corrupt the woman...:)
