If you're waiting for the elevator, don't stand right in front of the doors so that you'll be in the way of anyone who tries to exit. Stand off to the side to give space for anyone to exit before you board the elevator.
The same applies to public transportation. If you're waiting to board public transportation, don't stand right in front of the door so that you're blocking the way of anyone who may try to exit before you board. Stand off to the side and wait for everyone to exit before you get on.
First of all, with both elevators and public transportation, for reasons highlighted in this post you should always let others off before you try to board.
However, you should make sure they actually have sufficient space to do so. Most people are going to find it annoying at best if they try to get off the elevator or public transportation, and some stranger is standing right in front of them blocking their way, forcing them to squeeze past a total stranger.
Giving people plenty of space to exist the elevator and/or public transportation is about respecting the time and personal space of those trying to exit.

~~~
You were Wednesday Addam's little sister, so to say people at Nevermore Academy liked you... well, that would be a complete lie. Wednesday was pretty much the only person you hung out with. You didn't talk to her roommate Enid all that much; unless Wednesday insisted Enid hung out with you. Which has happened a few times, especially when one of you annoys her past her limits.
This was one of those times. You had bothered Wednesday while she was writing, so she sent Enid to distract you. The two of you sat out at the dorm's balcony, playing a game of cards.
"Go fish," Enid said with a smirk as she looked at you over her card hand.
You simply sighed. Enid had picked this game.
"I hate this," You reached down and picked up another card, adding it to your growing collection.
"You say that about everything, Y/N."
"Maybe because there isn't anything to like." You muttered, Enid frowned when she heard you and had a determined look in her eyes as she stood and grabbed your hand. Card game forgotten.
"Come on! We're going to find something for you to like then!" She said, a bounce in her step as she practically dragged you back into the dorm then into the hall.
Wednesday didn't even look at you guys as she typed away.
"Enid, please..." You tried to protest, but she gave your hand a little pull and smiled as she turned to look at you.
"Wednesday likes fencing, maybe we can start there?" Enid suggested.
"Wednesday also likes murder."
"Um... well-" Enid stuttered out, you fought back a smirk at her reaction. She was so easy to mess with," let's- let's just start with fencing, okay?"
And so that's how you found yourself in a fencing suit. About to face off Enid, the two of you had just gotten into position before Bianca walked over in her own fencing gear.
"Addams, if it's a challenge you're looking for... shouldn't someone more suited be your opponent?" Bianca asked, a certain look in her eyes that you knew just spelled trouble.
Something you were absolutely down for. She did have a point, Enid would not be able to keep up with you. You weren't great at fencing by any means but you weren't terrible either. You'd fenced with Wednesday a few times. Which was partially why you weren't entirely opposed to the idea when you heard it.
You sighed and shrugged," kay."
"Kay?" She repeated in confusion, she was expecting at least a little more of a reaction. But you were an Addams after all. She shared a look with one of the girls next to her who shrugged too. Seeming just as confused.
Bianca ignored that for now and got into position as you did the same.
The match started with you making the first lunge, Bianca blocked you and then lunged forwards herself. You made the decision to dodge as opposed to block.
This back and fourth would continue for the next few moments until you managed to get the first point and the match reset.
Y/N; 1 Bianca; 0
Enid clapped and cheered you on, looking rather excited. Maybe she was thinking she helped you find a hobby.
Really you were just happy to have an excuse to fight Bianca. The way she treated Wednesday always got on your nerves, so you saw this as your chance at some sort of revenge. And revenge was a hobby of yours.
"Masks off." Bianca spoke up, you raised an eyebrow at that.
"Masks off?" You repeated.
"Let's see how good you are without protective gear. We go until first blood." Bianca continued to explain.
"Like what you and Wednesday did?" You replied, having heard the very short version of the story from your sister before.
Bianca nodded," exactly."
This intrigued you. You were definitely fond of the idea of drawing blood, so you agreed. Which made Enid a little nervous.
Meanwhile with Wednesday, Thing had scrambled over to her. Frantically trying to get her attention. He had followed you and Enid, so he was trying to tell Wednesday what was happening.
"Thing, you know I do not like being disturbed during my writing hour." Wednesday didn't look up from her type writer.
Thing crawled onto it and placed himself right in front of the paper, blocking Wednesday's view as he kept trying to sign to her. Telling her what was happening.
"That's her problem, not mine." Wednesday stated," Now move if you value your fingers."
He tried again, explaining the whole going until someone bleeds. This caught Wednesday's attention as she remembered how her fencing match had gone with Bianca.
Back with you and Bianca, you had lost your match to her. With her managing to put a slice on your neck. Your fingers dabbed the spot, feeling the blood there. You couldn't help but grin even just a little.
"One more round?" You asked her, she raised an eyebrow.
"Haven't had enough?"
"Yes, she has." Wednesday's voice caught your attention as she seemingly appeared right next to you. Startling you a bit. When did she get there?
"Wednesday-" You started, she held her hand up to silence you. The look she gave Bianca was bone chilling.
"She's done here." Wednesday and Bianca seemed to be in some sort of stare off, you and Enid exchanged confused glances.
Bianca rolled her eyes and scoffed," whatever."
Wednesday turned to face you," let's go." Her tone was firm, leaving zero room for argument with you.
You groaned and followed after with Enid trailing not to far behind.
Back at the dorm, Wednesday patched up the cut on your neck. Not saying a word the entire time. You could just tell she was annoyed with you and you could practically hear the lecture that was coming.
When she was done, her ice cold gaze met your eyes and you couldn't help but shiver.
"Wednesday-"
"Not a word from you. I believed you to he smarter than that. Seems that I was wrong. You should go back to your dorm, before more trouble finds you."
You weren't exactly happy with how she talked to you, but you listened to her nonetheless. Not wanting to push your luck.

Honestly tired of the criticism SNW gets from specifically Tumblr (cause when I check reddit, they love it lots). Like, there are some nitpicky ass people here.
Imo, the Gorn are awesome (you saw them once in TOS, get over it!), Spock/Chapel make sense and were always plausible (Also Spock had his fair share of female love interests in TOS that he knew less than Christine), regarding the silly episodes where Spock gets turned "human" or the new one where the crew turns "vulcan" (In quotes because a. I don't think the intention is for them to be accurate representation of either race b. we all just gonna ignore all the silly ass episodes in TOS like they're not part of the series' bread and butter), the musical episode was literally the best musical episode in the entirety of the genre of rando show doing a musical episode.
Spock this Spock that, there's so many complaints about Spock as if the Menagerie didn't have ooc Spock. The complaints about not having enough screen time for this character or that, like, again, let's be real, this show is for people who specifically loved TOS, of course you're going to have lots of Spock, Chapel, Uhura and yes, Jim also (because he's beyond crucial to Star Trek's legacy), and yes, maybe there should be more Ortega and idk whoever that other pilot is, but you still have focus on Pike, Una, and La'an, which is pretty damn good for a show that only has 10 episodes a season.
Lovely to see that the show has a 98% from Rotten Tomatoes, and a 93% from Google Users, which imo, despite the wackos I've seen on this site, is what really matters and means the show is going to keep trucking along despite a minority of negativity.
My long winded way to say, I can't wait for season 3! ❤️
