2264: A tale of a visitor

A tale of a visitor at the new society: He visited a family friend, who recently purchased a new flat in the outskirts of the city. After grilling the friend, the new owner, about the features of the society, amenities provided, good, bad, and worst, recommendations to buy/invest here, and why they purchased, after almost an hour or two, he (the guest) finally got up to say goodbye. The guest was leaving. The new flat is on the first floor. The host showed the walkway/staircase way to go down, but the guest insisted on going by lift. The guest is young, or rather, always shows off how young he is physically and mentally to everyone possible. So such a person opted to go down to the ground floor to catch the cab by lift. And the electricity went off. The host shouted to come out of the lift, and guests kept arguing, but you said there is a backup, right? So why should I come out? The door was getting closed; it's a closed capsule lift. Even though the guest was not ready to accept it, he is around 70+, but still he continued with the argument about backup. Somehow the host literally pulled him outside. OMG, what was this? And why remain so adamant? What do you achieve? When and where to argue is still not clear? Why?

Clarity is a must in life. Only because there is a lift with backup as an amenity, everyone without need should use it? Why? No, big no. 

What if the backup system fails and the guest gets locked up for a couple of hours? In closed capsule lifts with no electricity supply, it's very hard to breathe, and why enter into a scary situation for no reason?
