I was absolutely in the wrong in both of these situations, but regardless they made me laugh -
Elevators.
My condo elevators are not big. We are allowed three people only, during the virus. It is impossible to be six feet apart, but everyone is on board with the best placement possible. Before this more virulent strain, for many reasons I truly believe that the chances of an instant transmission is/was very slim. And obviously we need to mask up.
A couple of times I have forgotten to get my mask on until the last moment. One time when the elevator doors were opening I made that mistake but I had it on, over my mouth/nose but was struggling to hook an ear. Ie. It was hanging a bit as the doors opened. But I was actively hooking it and was covered.
The guy on board walked out. But was standing almost just as close to me to wait for another elevator.
As this is not Star Trek, the doors are not a rapid close. It took me a bit to realize what was going on, as no words were exchanged. His choice of course.
The next one made me laugh due to a lack of common sense and what I deem a bit of hysteria. I had taken a commuter train where they try their best to have safety measures but of course you're in an open car with multiple people.
And masks are a must.
i needed to use a one floor only - ie. five second ride - elevator off an outside platform because I was wheeling a granny cart. This elevator was massive. Six feet was not even an issue, with three people. Two people were already on and standing at the back, ie. in the only configuration where six feet was possibly a crapshoot. This elevator was massively long.
i entered the elevator, stood at the front - back to them obviously, and a woman walked off with a huge sigh. Ie. She had to pass me to get off, part of the comical take. And sighed again and loudly said two people only and pointed to a small sign I had missed. While she is saying this she is way closer to me than she was was in the elevator.
And would have been for the five second ride. And talking directly, face to face. And much closer to people waiting for the next one, than she ever was to me. And of course she was just on the train with many people for an extended time, not a five second ride.
This time I got off for her, as I was the one not following rules, and got off to stand beside a commuter that had an entire comedy routine on her choices. So at least I got a laugh out of it.
