Lady shares her first-time experience on elevator

@_Faridat stated that she was heading to the third floor when she stepped into the elevator alongside another passenger. The moment the doors closed and the lift began to move, a slight vibration she had not anticipated startled her into shouting out loud.

The man sharing the space with her turned and calmly asked if it was her first time. She confirmed it was, and wrote that the embarrassment hit her like a wave.

The second moment came at the third floor itself. When the elevator doors parted, she stayed put, assuming someone outside was waiting to enter. The same man had to tell her directly that she had reached her floor.

Laughing about her experience, she said:

"Omoo from a young age ba, my kids will be well exposed. In my 28 years of life, today is the very first time I entered an elevator. Haaa! 😂😂😂"
"I embarrassed myself. The moment it started moving, I wasn't expecting that slight vibration. Na so I shout! 😭 The guy inside looked at me and asked, "First time?" I just said, "Yes." Ahhh... shame wear me like Bubu gown. 😂"
"I was going to the 3rd floor. When the elevator door opened, I just stood there thinking someone else wanted to enter. The guy looked at me and said, "This is your destination." Ahhh! 😭😂"
