Residents Mentality Towards Lifts

Nowadays at this very frigging millennia, people need to use lift to go up and down, not only in apartments but also in shopping complexes and offices.
People are so depending on this machines so much that, if the machines malfunctions, people would have to face the difficulty to use the stairs. It's ok for you if your home is at 2nd floor, what about a resident who stayed at 30th floor? It would be troublesome isn't it? What about for those people that are aged, impaired, and pregnant?
The most common defects that leading to this situation is the landing door at the hallway. Every time the lift or elevator is too slow to arrive, people would get mad easily. Maybe the person is in rush, time attack or just frigging out of their mind. For them waiting is a waste. Well, TIME IS GOLD!!! What about safety, what about your life, other people's life? Is the life of human being is as cheap as the landing door? Rushing and vandalizing won't be the answer.
These type of peoples would easily raised their foot and make a side kick to get out of their system. This actions would definitely make the so called landing door dented which subsequently uplift the landing lock which is connected the electrical switches in series system. Then the lift would tripped. Just imagine that, if there are passengers in that very lift, the passengers would be in shock knowing that the lift had stop halfway from the floor. They would be panicked, and truly they would find a way to get out of the car lift. This ultimate blind action is leading them to accident which far most can be fatal.
Living in an apartments, condos is like a community that concerns for each other, taking care of each other. We living in a community for god's sake!
Than after the lift is tripped, the maintenance company would definitely quoted the damaged. Furthermore, the respected joint management body have to pay for the fault of their residents done. The money can go for the upgrading facilities rather spending the money repairing the lift defects every month which is largely comes from the residents itself. The other thing is that residents refuse to pay the maintenance fees. Refusing to pay would create greater problem. Think for yourself, for who ever reading this post. What are the consequences?
For me, local authorities should get involved in this problem to find a way to overcome it. It's just like a time bomb, waiting for an accidents to occur. If an accidents happens, who to be blamed and who to blame for?
Therefore, with this brief thought, the people's attitude and mentality must change in order to live in a harmony and prosperous environment.
Patience is virtue.
