Actually, this is pretty standard elevator etiquette. You hold the door for the first laggard, then you don't for the next one. There will always another person coming in a large building like this. Another elevator will come shortly, and if you keep holding the door, the elevator you are in will never move, screwing everyone.

At personal care homes you don't hold the door, you smash the "close" button as fast as you can before a mob of potential walker/wheelchair escapees manage to cram their way in there demanding to go "home" without even knowing where that is.

The Americans with Disabilities Act changed how soon the doors are allowed to close when the close button is pressed. The changes brought in by the ADA were also added to Canada's B-44 code. On most trips, pressing the door close button is worthless.

I suggest you do your research before posting when I'm on the clock, bucko.

NYC subway car doors are controlled by the conductor. A good conductor knows how to toggle the door switch to batter whatever is blocking the door ( usually some poor hominid ) into submission. Usually they'd just bump you once as a warning, but if you stand there holding the door like an asshole you'd get stomped.

The first time I rode the DC subway, I was astounded that the doors were automatic and you could just stand there indefinitely holding them open with (literally) no repercussions. How these trains got anywhere during rush hour puzzles me to this day. I much preferred the NY system.

Boston subways are like that, too (at least some of the lines, the red and blue might be automatic but i haven't been there in a few years and forget). The conductors almost always used their power for good.

Taken literally, the commercial fails because the first woman was arriving when the doors were barely open, while the second was arriving as the doors were about ready to finish closing. The timing's wrong to illustrate the point clearly.

The larger message that they're trying to convey, that you shouldn't figuratively stand with racist assholes, still stands.

To be clear, from now on if I see a Black woman at work coming from 200 yards away I'll stand there holding the elevator open as long as it takes. The thought that one of my colleagues might pop the door open, stand outside and just stare at me in condemnation is terrifying; that guy is one tweet away from permanently losing his career...

...though now that I think about it, that would be really fun to set up someone at work who I hate. I do have one friend at work who's Black, and she has a fucked up sense of humor.

And yeah, the larger message that every slightest action is subject to the worst possible interpretation and immediate condemnation, also still stands.

He wasnt racist, he just needs to alone in an inescapable enclosed space with a female for his A+ infallible super negging PUA technique to work.

Maybe he was concerned about the weight limit.

who lets this alt-right cockburger submit things at all?

AT the end, the blonde realized the predatory jerk was trying to get her alone in the elevator, and jumped out in a bid of self-preservation.


chumbucket - 2017-11-07

Let's all do something about racist elevators.

Really this is about discrimination against white males.

As the T-1000 unit pried open the the door John's heart sank. But nothing could prepare him for Marcie, or at least what he had thought was Marcie stepping out of the elevator and joining its side with a smirk. And then, oddly enough both units allowed him on his way. This was not mercy.
This was a message for John that he had already lost before he even started. He wasn't even worth terminating. And Skynet wanted him to know that. Skynet wanted him to stew in that and suffer. The machines had finally learned a vital trait from men: cruelty.
