A viral video has caused a wave of anger online after an Asian woman was filmed blocking a man from entering the elevator in the apartment building where he lives. The footage shows the woman standing in the doorway, holding her phone, and insisting that only “two people” are allowed—even though she is alone inside the lift.
The man calmly explains that he lives in the building and simply wants to go to his floor, but she continues to argue, using the posted sign as justification. Viewers quickly pointed out that her interpretation of the rule made no sense, and many accused her of intentionally trying to exclude him without reason.
The confrontation has been widely shared across social platforms, with users calling her behavior discriminatory and unnecessary. Others have praised the man for remaining composed during the tense encounter, despite being unfairly challenged in his own residence.
Building management has not yet issued a statement, but the incident has reignited discussions about prejudice, shared spaces, and the growing number of viral elevator confrontations across the country.
