Question

Explain what the lift man wanted the passenger to do and the immediate consequences.

Answer 1

Answer:

The lift-man behaved in an uncivilised manner by declining to comply with his instructions and moreover by throwing the passenger out of the lift. This was because the passenger had failed to respect the lift- man by saying just “Top” rather than “Top Please”.

Answer 2

Liftman and the Passenger

Explanation:

The liftman wanted that the passenger should say, "Top, Please". He wanted the passenger to add please but the passenger refused to do so. The passenger only said, "Top" and that infuriated the liftman. So, instead of taking the passenger to the topmost floor that liftman proceeded to kick the man out of the lift. The liftman just wanted the passenger to respect him and not order him around.
