I only take elevators when I’m staying at hotels but honestly, if I can take the stairs, I will. Even here in malls, where elevators are available, I usually opt for the escalator. I’ve always felt that elevators should be prioritized for those who really need them like PWDs, elderly folks, pregnant women, and parents with strollers.

Thankfully, I haven’t had to deal with the kind of elevator chaos you described (yet 😅) Here, if someone’s standing near the doors and you need to get out, a simple “excuse me” usually does the trick. People move aside and give way without much fuss.

Reading your post made me realize how rare that kind of awareness can be. It’s wild how basic courtesy is often ignored. I get that people are in their own worlds, but a little patience and awareness go a long way.
