 Elevator Lifts are of four types

 Passenger Lift, Goods Lift, Hospital Lift, Service Lift

Ranjan works at the office apartment on the eighth floor Each morning he has to go up in the Passenger Elevator Lift to reach the office on the eighth floor. Ranjan is standing in the queue outside the lift with a colleague of his, Prema.

Ranjan: Good morning Prema. You are looking well this morning.

Prema: Good morning to you too. You too are looking smart, (Ranjan is in conversations with other passengers waiting to enter the passenger elevator lift

. Thank Goodness there isn’t such a long line for the passenger lift this morning.. But the building administration should plan to install Stairs lifts.

Ranjan: Here comes the our passenger Lift. It takes only eight lift passengers. I think we can all get in. Come on, get in ahead of me.

Prema: No, no, Ranjan. You were in the line. before me, you get in first.

Ranjan: That doesn’t matter, ladies first always.

They both get into the passenger lift to go to their office apartment

Chair lift stairs for senior citizens

Prema in conversations with Ranjan That was very chivalrous of you. It is nice to come across a young man who has polite manners and etiquette. These days, men treat women with even more discourtesy because they say, that if you women are to have equal rights, you must share the discomforts equally too.

Ranjan I guess one could argue this subject in many ways. But personally I am of the opinion that man must have manners and etiquette to show courtesy to a lady.

Prema How about the ladies who work in a subordinate position to a man.

Ranjan This is a situation which occurs all the time. And I do notice that the men are not quite sure as to how to deal with their women employees.

Prema I think that a girl or woman who is working under a man in a subordinate position must give him the respect due to his position.

Ranjan You are quite right. Of course discipline must be maintained. But if the boss shows some courtesy which is only good manners, it doesn’t take anything away from his authority.

Prema What exactly do you mean?

Ranjan For instance, let us take the situation in which a man and a woman working in the same office apartment have to travel together to some place. The man is senior to the lady. Who do you think ought to enter the lift first?

Prema: We should allow the Senior citizens to enter waiting to enter the passenger elevator lift first. Some Senior citizens can not use stairs at office or home. My father can not use stairs at our residence.There are no residential elevators in our building,

Ranjan: You should install a chair lift stairs at your residence for your father. Acorn stairlifts are perfect for multi-leveled houses with household members who have difficulty climbing stairs. When not in use, the chair lift stairs chair easily folds up and out of the way. Each of these chair lift stairs are designed with homeowner of installation in mind, and a standard installation usually takes the average homeowner about 2-3 hours.


Getting out of the passenger lift

Prema:  How many other lifts are there in this building apart from this passenger elevator lift?

Ranjan : There are two freight lifts and two service lifts apart from eight passenger elevator lifts

Prema: Well, normally, if there was no office relationship, the lady should enter first. But in this case, the matter would be decided by whoever is standing in the line ahead gets in first in the passenger elevator lift

Ranjan Not really. After all the two people working in the same office building do know each other. I see no harm in the gentleman letting the lady stand in front of him. In the same way, even though he is senior, he should open the door of the taxi or car for the lady to get into the vehicle. Even though people work at various grades in an office yet accepted office codes of courtesy ought not to be forgotten.

Prema Well, now I know whom to ask for a car lift.

Ranjan You’re always welcome.
