Leaving an elevator when a woman gets in?

Nope, never did that myself. Just keep your paws to yourself if you're that worried.

I mean come on give me a break, she could have just as easily waited for another elevator.

Good Heavens, where do they find these people that they send into foreign countries to train others?

I have lived and worked in America for over 25 years and never has a lone man exited the elevator when I entered it, nor have I ever experienced any sort of sexual harassment during any elevator ride.

It is my guess, that these trainers are giving these instructions, solely because America as a whole has become such a litigation happy place where people will sue one another over anything.

As long as you don't bother, or sexually harrass the woman who's getting into the elevator, I don't see why you should have to leave when you're not at your floor! Some people think American women are these bad people who will sue you over anything - but the truth is, American women are just sick of being harrassed! If men could learn to keep "it" to themselves, women wouldn't have to sue for sexual harassment!;

I've never heard of that. I'm also sure the elevators in most buildings have security cameras, so there would be tape showing no harassment took place.

However, this is a strange new world, and anyone concerned can simply get off the elevator and resume their trip later.

This is interesting. Not a lot of men do this. The only time that I seen this was in HS when one my male teachers would get off the elevator when a female (teacher or student) would get on.

I don't think so... never had a man stepped off when I've gotten on and we where both alone...neither has a man tried anything I would consider sexual harrassing either.

No, you don't have to exit. If she claims sexual harrassment, just remember she has to prove it. Also, in most elevators now in the US, they have cameras. I think you're okay.

That's retarded! Sounds like propaganda to me. The only elevator etiquette you need to follow is to stand to one side instead of at the back. That way, if a women gets on, she can stand on the opposite side facing you rather than being forced to turn her back on you.

if a woman gets on an elevator by herself, i'm sure she can take care of herself, you don't need to be a security monitor

That sounds ridiculous, is it just given to the Germans?
