Man refuses to get out of shared lift

[Georgeoftheinternet]

Obviously we don’t know the whole story but it would appear that a person wanted to share a lift by themself.

Others facts - he may have alluded to her having corona. He record her. Neither wear wearing masks. Enclosed space.

Thoughts?

My personal thoughts are that she was in the right. If she wanted to use the lift by herself than I think people should respect her decision. To go around ranting, recording and speaking to her in a raised voice, especially given her reaction - than he’s out of order.

They were as bad as each other.

She's in the wrong, she should've got out if she wanted a lift to herself.

Why should she get the lift to herself? Lift is for 2 people if she is not happy with that don't use it or wait until nobody else wants in the lift You can expect others not to use lift

This!
It's not your own personal bloody lift FFS lol, how entitled?!

If the coronavirus rules allow 2 people in the lift, and she doesn't want to share with a second person, then SHE needs to vacate the lift, not him.

OP, you seem to have a hard time understanding that if you don't want to comply with the rules then the onus is on you to inconvenience YOURSELF, not others.

Lifts where I am are explicitly for one person or one household at a time.

If certain companies and certain tower blocks can enforce a one-person-per-lift rule, then everywhere can. Not unreasonable not to want to share a confined and non-ventilated space with a stranger during a pandemic.

But this doesn't have any bearing on this video at all. It's not the rule for that lift, that building, that town, that State or that country.

He was right to stand up to her. The sign says two people can share. If she wanted the lift to herself she could have walked away and waited for it to come back instead of holding him up by stopping it from moving.

If she was worried about covid, she should have been wearing a mask. If she thought she had the virus, she shouldn't have been out. If she didn't want to be around someone then she shouldn't have stood in front of him with her finger on the pause button.

He just told her how unacceptable her behaviour it was, disrespectful of his time and he filmed it so he could show what happened if the cops showed up.

My sympathies are with him. She was making him late for his date. He was right not to let her bully him. He stood up for himself.He's allowed to do that. He didn't touch her or remove her, he just said no and stayed put.

He's allowed.

fuck right off with the 'karen' shit and wear masks if you are able. this two needed their heads banging together for being bloody minded.

He was in the right.

If she is so concerned about Covid-19, she should be wearing PPE.

She just didn't want to share the lift with him.

The moment he started ranting and calling her stupid bitch he lost all moral high ground.

He was abusive, and aggressive and clearly a bully.

He was rude, scary and aggressive. Whether he was wrong or right about lift sharing isn't really here or there.

For the record I think she was wrong. The rules state 2 people. But he doesn't get to abuse her whatever the rules.

He is aggressive, intimidating and rude. Rather than diffusing the situation he's right in her face swearing and videoing her for likes on social media. He has also cut that video, I am assuming he doesn't want to people to hear what he said. Presumably the coronavirus comment. It would have been easy to diffuse that situation but he opted for male aggression instead. Anyone that thinks this behaviour is ok is a fool. And anyone who calls her a Karen, when clearly she is not, consider something might happen to you one day where you are posted up on social media to be mocked by the world. Shame on you. I'm reporting the Karen comments.

He was clearly performing for social media and going for clicks.

He is being very aggressive, she would have been better to have just let him go first. I have no idea who got in first but I don't blame her for not wanting to share due to covid.

I say let him go first just to diffuse the situation. Not because I think she is in the wrong, but because he is enjoying the situation to make a rubbish video.

If there was a rule for a space any space, and I wasn't comfortable with it I feel it would be up to me to create the situation where I am comfortable. So in this case waiting to use the lift.

If she was that bothered she'd wear a mask.
I'm really scared of lifts and can only use the glass ones when I'm just with my partner. If other people get in I get out. I'm not like can you just wait cos I've got a phobia which although I can't help the way I deal with it is a preference ie just being in the lift with my partner. Same applies to her. Her preference is using the lift along its not on anyone else to make that happen.

I don't know what was said before but he seems aggressive. However no idea if she's been aggressive.

He was clearly being aggressive and abusive. Well done to her for standing up to him.

Her behaviour would make the majority of people, women and men, aggressive and abusive. You can’t go around making up your own rules and commandeering lifts for personal use and expect others to be happy about it.

He accused her of bringing coronavirus here. She is clearly upset and distressed that he said that. Pretty racist of him. And then he starts swearing at her whilst videoing her for media likes. It's not her behaviour that's the problem here.

He was right. He was horrible about it. But she's an idiot.

It's not her behaviour that's the problem here.

If she hadn’t of prevented the lift from going or had of got out she would not have been in a position where she was subject to his tirade or it would have been for a minimal amount of time. He was in no way right to sprout racist rubbish but she seemed quite keen to stay for the duration and keep him going for some reason. To be clear her entitled behaviour would likely have made me aggressive and abusive after a point but I would not have been racist.

He shouldn't have made the corona comment, that part was wrong.

But she is acting so entitled by holding up the lift that does not belong to her! Sorry, but IDGAF if she felt threatened by him, she should get out of the lift if she does not want to share. Entitled entitled entitled! Feck off out of the lift the sign says two people.
