In the Lift
Allow me to make some crazy comments. Well, if, however you think my crazy comments does make sense, then i will be very glad!! Hohoho
So, today I’ve opted for a topic called — In the lift. I’m not going to go into the extend of saying — oh i saw a couple making out or having a hot sensation which happen to shock me a little bit when i walked into the lift. It’s more of my many years of observation that somehow manifested on my strong opinions of how people walked into the lift especially in my office building.
You might be wondering, what is there to talk about people walking into the lift? Well, to me there are millions of things that i can talk about. Let’s start with a few shall we?
Do you guys believe in –society molds a person? The place that I’m staying right now, even though it’s called a city, but the way of life is still very much like a town, to me. And because of that, many of them don’t possess the ability to adapt or make themselves a bit more versatile when it comes to present themselves in front of a crowd. And the easiest way to justify my point is through my office lifts.
We have many different groups of people working in our building. The majority of them belongs to those that are married with kids. So these people, especially women, will normally walk into the lift with their mouth open and talking non stop. For them, i don’t think they really care if the moral of the society still exist.Their topic normally revolves around;
1) Bargains in the market/supermarket
2) Their kids
3)Where did they have their hair permed over the weekend
4) Trying to tell people how much they and their husbands are STILL in love
5) Who came over to their house in the weekend
6) What did they cook/bake during the weekend
Is this how you would become when you have a family and the kids? Why would you want everybody to know your so called “wonderful” but sounded a “pathetic” life to me? It is a headache when you meet people like this in the lift.
And then we have the married but still looking single weird men.
These people, are extremently uncomfortable with themselves.
Like how ?
When the lift stops @ a particular floor, they walked in the lift looking SHOCKED and i don’t know why. Somehow they try to show people in the lift, they won’t be defeated even though they are shocked and scared, so they still walk into the lift with their most courageous act. But the weird thing is, once they walk into the lift, the way they stand is extremely awkward. Once they come into the lift, press the floor they wanted to go, and then they just don’t know what to do with themselves!!! They don’t know where to rest their hands. I once saw a weird guy, he just don’t know where to put his hands! In the pocket? No no…..criss cross on his chest? Nah…….he was like so nervous and i thought he was going to faint! Until the lift door open just @ the right moment, and i think that moment is like the biggest relieve in his life! Can you call that weird?
So we have the uncomfortable ones, how can we not have the ones that are trying to look extremely comfortable with themselves but actually they are not ? Can you differentiate between the 2 ?
These people walk into the lift looking like a CEO but in actual fact, they might just be an office clerk. They are so confident with themselves it’s almost like their lifetime achievements is just to be an office clerk and they’ve finally achieved it ! So they could held their heads high and thought all the other people in the lift are less than a clerk! But good times never last for these people. When the lift door open once again and it’s so “fortunate” for them to meet the real CEO of the building, these people suddenly becomes intimate with themselves and kept smiling to the CEO. So where did the looking like a CEO ego look go ?
And then we have the married but still trying to look single women.
Why is it that you decided to get married but still trying so hard to look single? Aren’t you a contradict? These people are trying so hard to potray themselves looking like a single women. They dress like a single, walk like a single and most of all, they flirt with people in the lift ! Are their married life really so sad ?
And then we have the seeking attention weirdo.
There is this old man in my building, who happens to still keep his body in shape. I mean like really in shape. He look around 60 but he can still manage to have his tummy tucked in! This old man, whenever he is in the lift, he will say things like ” maybe the lift will just drop in another second. Eh, don’t say it won’t happen. You know that who who, where where….it did happen! ” I really wished there will be a time where his head will just get caught in between the lift doors! These people deliver nothing but rubbish talk. And after so many years, he still never learnt his lessons!
And then we have the come in lift you are obligated to talk silly person.
Do we have a law saying that once you walk in the lift you must talk to @ least 1 person? These people the moment they walk into the lift, they are bound to find someone to talk to. Hey, our building is not like 50 stories ya know? why can’t you just spare a moment of quietness to yourself and others? If you don’t talk to people, nobody will blame you okay idiot ? And you are not that popular as to everybody would LOVE to talk to you. These people just DON’T KNOW don’t they?
And once in a while we have some MATURE human being walking into the lift and greet you with a warm smile. This is exactly what the society is lacking. Instead of telling their own fucking pathetic marriage life, or scaring everybody with their own bullshit philosophy, TRYING to be friendly for nothing, act like a single virgin women, when the whole world can tell you are not with your bulging after giving birth stomach. Why not just substitute all these with a single warm smile and just shut the fuck up and live your own life until we all get to our desire floor ?
You will be surprised by how much people TREASURE the time when they are in the lift. Which is kind of surprising for me. Is it because of the society ? You tell me.
Found some really nice lift lobby images on google image!!
Isn’t this lift lobby unique?
This blog is about the who, what, where, when, do,does,did,done of my everyday life!! So i name it, the Rainbow of my everyday life!!!
Ho Ho Ho, nice one, nice entry lah, i wish every people in malaysia read this and they know how to behave in the lift.
i tak boleh tahan their attitude, so somehow must blog about it!! hehehe….
ya ya, we now have our way to say things, we have our blog, this is our way to educate people. by the way, have you ever been to tune hotel? if yes, do you notice the painting on the wall? i would like to do the painting on the wall as well, do they have special brush to paint it? because its look so beautiful lah
hmmm…. i never really sure how do i behave when i am in the lift. go in, press the button, stand still, when the doors open go out. that’s it !
there should be more people like you in my office buildings, i just don’t understand y can’t they just go in lift, stand still and go out when the lift reaches their floor? They must somehow talk or behave weirdly one!
very nice…
i do smile to people in the lift..hehehe. No talk needed, just smile. I smiled to a liangmoi the other day and she replied by saying ‘good morning’ nicely. Perfect way to start your day.
Yeah, that should be d way!
LOL….very nicely articulated observations Chloe.
I do the same thing when I am driving from one state to another on interstates. I watch people and am always amazed at how many of them multitask while driving 70-80 miles an hour in busy traffic.
I did not see this myself but a truck driver told me that he once saw a women putting on her pantyhose while she was driving…LOL Now that is talented. Why anyone would even leave home without them is a mystery to me. Then we have the men who shave and talk on the phone while driving. Or the women putting on her makeup, smoking, drinking coffee and talking to a passenger or on her phone while driving…
AS you say…you find the weirdest people in the weirdest places..
Love the photos of all of the different lobbies
Hey Dorothy!! I certainly don’t think i can put on a pantyhose while driving!! Haha….and the shaving while driving part…..wow…people these days certainly can multitask!! How often do you drive from one state to another ? I really miss the long distance driving!!
Hahah. Lols. You’re sick chloeling, you know that? Great observations, though, really…really great. Bullseye! Like it very much. How come I can’t ever think about it before? Guess, because i’m not that sick. Lols. Thx for visiting me.
haha….shld i say sick people can be creative sometimes??? No prob! do drop by often!!
That they do. Speaking of which, someone once did the classic silent-but-deadly fart in the lift I was in. It was so smelly one might think the one who did it must have some acute disease, rotten internal organs or something. The combination of the deadly smell, how people in the lift react to that–some stay cool, while the other shout the dirtiest words one might have in a lift in a situation like that–and having a thought about what they would to the person did it was too much to bear. So I choke a laugh, and that’s when all eyes, I mean ALL eyes fixed on me. And suddenly it’s not so funny anymore. OMG! While the actual bastard slip freely (whoever that was, he/she too staring at me with a ready to kill look), Damn. Only God knows who really did it, and I pray that He punished that person for having me cornered for something I’ve never done…
the design over there really look nice
This is one funny entry Miss Chole. Really can find the weirdest people in the weirdest places. I don’t know how I behave while in the lift…maybe includes all of them u described above! lol!
Maybe u should tell them about it…they will never know until u tell them! Speaks out…u’ll feel much better…really…else they just can’t shut the hell up! :p
if i speak up, do you think i will be able to get out of the lift safely ??
Since u’re pretty…well i guess it won’t be a problem, will it?
Maybe they will start to talk more if u really speak up…who knows..give it a try! nah…j/k!
Wahaha…
Wat u think…or how u gonna react…IF! one day i really shows up in the lift with ya?
Maybe it is possible! Heh…probably will scare the sh*t out of u rite…sure is…

talking about that, many girls with high heels in my company always got their heels stucked on the floor of the lift, because of the groove lines it needs for the doors to slide open, and there was once where i saw a girl with a stucked heel and i actually burst into laughter……and the girl stared back @ me with stricken hostile eyes! And i felt soooo bad @ that moment…..but thinking back now, i can still laugh @ the situation!! hahaha
