Maybe they like to go all the way up and then all the way down again.

Even if the lift is going up, they dun care also. They always want to go in occupy a space first.

Want to go down press down, want to go up press up.

Some of them will press up to summon the lift up to their floor so they can go down.
I hate my dumb neighbors for doing that... she obviously want to go down to ground floor but press lift buttons always press all.. end up she will board the lift and came up to my higher floor.. then had to go down to her floor stop and close the door then goes down...

Ask them if they wanna pang sai they look for toilet bowl on the ground right? So the sai can go down.

Same logic for taking lift down, press the down button.

They sure can relate.

You mean if they live in 2nd storey, they press up to go up to 50th storey and go down to level 1?
What TS is meant is probably they press both up and down button thinking the lift door will open sooner... which is true, but what they dun realized is that it wastes more time including the time of others.

One ah pek came from a higher floor than mine but when I went into the lift, no buttons were pressed. The life was going down and I pressed level 1. Ah pek happily inside the lift waiting to go to level 1, just not sure why he never press level 1 button. Or maybe he assumed when he pressed down button, lift will auto go to level 1? :unsure:

they press up to call the lift up. So if the lift is higher floor, they will press down to call the lift down.

Wanna go down but press up?

The lift will proceed to go up and pick higher floor resident instead of going down despite the boomer pressed ground floor.

I came across such boomers before.

But I didn't press "1".

I play along the waiting game and concentrate on my phone.

Eventually boomer pressed "1" and had an angry look on his face.

Then I keh keh "oh ya, forgot to press" :ROFLMAO:

The boomer living on the same level pressed the lift button without letting go thinking it would speed up the process but when the lift came it went pass our floor without stopping. I took the stairs.

Last week take lift all went in. Door auto open 1x think sensor spoil. So nobody press close. Fine. Wait for it auto close.

Then lift no move. I beo then see the other continent fella nearest to button didn't press 2nd floor to go up. Nobody said or do anything. Couple secs later I say loud loud all dun Wana press then we wait loh. Lan Lan the bugger press before it moved.

Some ppl are just plain selfish

my experience:
a mum and kid reached 2nd floor from 1st floor. mum came out 1st. kid adjusting his bicycle to come out but door closing. don't know whether out of panic or ignorance, mum pressed down button but door continued to close to go higher floor. mum used her hands to stop door closing completely. I calmly pressed onto up button and door opened.

Encountered before haha, one ah ma and ah gong took lift up to my level & i thought the lift going up they said they going down, cos too troublesome waiting so they ride up and then go down 😂 haiyo
Actually it’s true. Let’s say your block always has a lot of people coming frown at a certain time and no room in the lift. Just press up so the empty lift stops at your floor. Then go up and then go down in the crowded lift

it’s the same logic as someone going to down from tampines to town take the train to Pasir Ris then go back down to town. Either for a seat or if too crowded at least guaranteed can enter the train
