If someone is right by the buttons I don't want to get in their face so I'll just ask them. It's really not a big deal man.

A simple please in the request makes it reasonable. You are an a-hole for not saying please, so reciprocation of being an a-hole is perfectly appropriate.

Meh

Depends on how he was asked

If the guy was like “hey penis breath, be my little bitch and press 5”, OP has a solid point

Same here. Of course I work in a two story building so...Not sure why there are buttons. If I get in on one floor I must be going to the other floor so why have a button?

I was the only one on the elevator and standing at the back. Dude looked like he needed to take the stairs anyway


Well, if he looked inferior to your presumed physical condition maybe you should've been a good person and press the button for him without whining like a little bitch!

If that was me you'd still be in that elevator. You'd never think twice about not pushing that button again. Then a month later I'd stalk you and jump in the elevator with you again. This time I'd mumble the floor number.

Naw.... Just your average democrat... Didn't want to push the button because the walk on was wearing an American Flag and a Maga hat...

I've got no problem with this.

If someone says, "Four please". I'm more than happy to do it.

But if someone's tone is like I'm their personal bitch, dat button ain't getting pushed by me.

But frankly, this has never happened to me.

ETA: After reading the replies, most of y'all on the rag. Bunch of cranky bitches up in here.

Courtesy is gone. I hate when people call at work and thru just start talking at me. No greeting or even telling me their name

Wow. I didn’t realize humanity had fallen this far.

If I am closest to the buttons I have no problem lifting my arm up the 8-10 inches to press a button for someone. I usually ask them which floor when they get on. I’d probably prefer to do it over them getting in my personal space anyway.

I guess I am in elevators so much it never even occurred to me this was even an issue worth caring about.

You actually have a point IMHO, it doesn’t take much effort to put forth the common courtesy of politely saying “can you hit 4 please?” Rather than grumbling “4” without so much as eye contact.

It’s like the a-hole in the store who won’t get off their phone or acknowledge the customer when checking out, just ring them up without a word or even looking at the customer. Sad really.

People really have forgotten how to be courteous human beings.

Wow, you really showed him. You sound like the kind of person that leaders look up to.

And we all love the fact that you thought of us little people and rushed right into TD to share how brave you are for taking a stand.

For your sacrifice would you like a medal or a chest to pin it on?

ya mullet.

You're melting over a guy asking you to push a button?

Sounds like a grade A

When rednecks leave the fields and get introduced into modern culture, it can sometimes be a difficult transition.

Was this your first time on an elevator?

You may not have the emotional development necessary to share spaces with other people.
