Things to do in an elevator

[ShyDancer]

1.) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2.) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

3.) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

4.) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.

5.) Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg? How's your day been?"

6.) Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then
scream, "That's mine!"

7.) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8.) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

9.) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

10.) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.

11.) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency
procedures and exits with the passengers.

12.) Ask, "Did you feel that?"

13.) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

14.) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don’t panic, they open again!"

15.) Swat at flies that don't exist.

16.) Tell people that you can see their aura.

17.) Call out, "Group Hug!"And then enforce it.

18.) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and
muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

19.) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering
inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

20.) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the
wall, without getting off.

21.) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in
horror, "Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

22.) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

23.) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

24.) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

25.) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then
announce, "I have new socks on".!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26.) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to The other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"

This is the option I like! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[etchuck]

Oh whew... I thought you had something else in mind when it came to doing things in elevators... like coed-naked twister... :oops:

[NeoDevin]

9.) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

I have played twister in an elevator before :lol:

[pygmalion]

Did anybody mention having paranoid fantasies about the elevator cable breaking, losing all control, and hurtling 60 stories to your death? :shock: Not that it's ever happened to me, mind you. :wink: :lol:

[danceguy]

Hmm, I avoid elevators at all costs...if there are stairs, I take em! Of course, if there's 32 stories to climb...well...it depends if I've had my Wheaties or not! :wink:

[Sagitta]

Dance as if your life depended on it and let the other poor folks on the elevator get out of your way!! :wink:

[cocodrilo]

Ever watch a movie where the actors have been stuck in an elevator and have had to escape through a tiny hatch above? I sometimes look for the hatch!!! :lol:

[ShyDancer]

I always look for the hatch...just in case! I mean you never know right?? :lol: :lol:

I'm the optimistic type. Don't waste my time looking for the hatch!! :wink: :) I figure that if the elevator goes I'll probably go with it, and if it gets stuck then I'll have plenty of time to search for and use the hatch as I carry a pencil torch with me at all times!! :)

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[cocodrilo]

I guess this is one instance where the penlight would be handier than my Swiss Army Knife(ya never know when ya hafta open a bottle 'o wine!!!).
It's good to be prepared!

[Sagitta]

Who said that one can;t have both. Penknife and flashlight at all times. Chewing gum, chapstick, tissues, an energy bar...my credit cards, cash...it's a good thing I don't have a cell phone too!! At this rate I wouldn't have any space to put things. I would have to get a man's purse!! :oops:

I would really like to hear this story! :P

[cocodrilo]

I heard a story about former sumo wrestler Konishiki, who is about 300 pounds, FARTING in an elevator and nearly gassing the occupants to death! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Bob]

I hope he at least had the decency to ask someone to "pull my finger"!!

:roll:

[cocodrilo]

I hope he at least had the decency to ask someone to "pull my finger"!!

:roll:

I heard that's one of his favorite tricks! :lol:

[danceguy]

Only 300 lbs? Isn't that a bit small for a Sumo wrestler? :? :P

I remember one time in grade school when a rather large student broke wind and sent an entire math class running and gagging for fresh air. I asked one of the students what happened (I happened to be walking by the room when they all rushed out) and he said "so and so just let off a couple of bazookas!"

Poor guys! I'm just glad I wasn't in the room! :shock:

Not much to the story actually, the hardest part was cramming 4 of us into the elevator while the twister game was going.

We were in a hotel, first we figured we'd just take over the elevator, and play for a while, but the people in the lobby got mad at us. So we went to the 30th floor, and hit every button on the way down, so that we had time to play. We finished at floor 5, picked up the game, got off at floor 4, and took the other elevator back up to our rooms. :lol:

[Bob]

haha! Lightning round twister!

Maybe if you had invited the people in the lobby to play, they wouldn't have been so uptight!

[Sabor]

just put me in a stuck elevator with a beautiful woman in it .. and i promise to add plenty to the list :bouncy:

[Swing Kitten]

so in that case could be add "getting slapped in the face" to this list then? :lol:

[danceguy]

Aww, give him a chance SK! You never know, that lady may have stopped the elevator on purpose! :shock: :P

[cocodrilo]

Hey, Scorpionguy! My cat just tried to attack your avatar!!! :lol:

[Bob]

Good thing he is moving so quick! I bet he looked like Neo in the matrix :lol:

[Chris Stratton]

Something I've always thought would be fun to organize would be a dance-themed elevator 'performance hack' in some formal or business type environment.

Imagine people in an elevator lobby when suddenly the door to an elevator opens. Viennese waltz music is playing, and there is an elegantly costumed couple doing fleckerels in the elevator car. As the doors open, they pop out, do 8 or 16 measures of viennese waltz around the room, then back into the elevator and resume fleckerels as the door closes...

(fleckerels are the fast in-place rotations done in the center of the room during a viennese waltz)

[Bob]

HAHA!

that would be great! Impromptu sock hop at the ritz! I can just see the elevator doors open, 30 couples charge out with Ella and Louis singing the fast part of "stompin at the savoy"

and BAM! full on lindy hop!!!


the song ends, the couples take a bow and then charge back into the elevator!

Film at 11!

[Chris Stratton]

Or some sort of dance related "flash-mob" type of thing in general...
The elevators aren't really needed for that - you just have a bunch of people blended into the crowd, all start on some cue - which in this case would be the music.

You just need a dance form with a large community to recruit enough people from, that can be done on a typical street/square/park surface in street shoes.

[Sabor]

so in that case could be add "getting slapped in the face" to this list then? :lol:

well, if they plan on slapping me silly.. can i atleast pick the ''to be slapped" area and the force/style of the slaps :oops: .. seems fair to me :mrgreen: LOL

[danceguy]

Hey, Scorpionguy! My cat just tried to attack your avatar!!!

Heh! I used to have a cat that helped me play Nintendo when I was a teen, she'd sit there and jump and paw at the bad guys while I was playing! :lol:

Of course, she also used to open windows and then stick her paws through and touch you at odd hours of the night...yep, she was a weird cat! :P

[Purr]

Has anyone tried standing in the front of the elevator with the door at your back, looking at the other people?
:shock:

[Bob]

I have.

It didn't creep anyone out. As a matter of fact I have met some really interesting people that way.

[DancePoet]

ShyDancer: Your post had me laughing throughout. Thank you!

[Laura]

Yep, I've done that thing where you stand at the front of the elevator with your back to the door. People often start talking to me. I guess I look friendly. It's kind of cool.

I once had an elevator full of strangers sing me "Happy Birthday" when I announced it was indeed my birthday. Granted, I was inebriated and I was at a fancy hotel so people were in the mood to be friendly, but still it was one of the cool high points of my teenage years.

[Bob]

Of course you look friendly! ~looking at her avatar~ Who ever heard of Mrs. Jetson being impolite much less mean!

:lol:

[ino]

25.) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then
announce, "I have new socks on".!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have to use that one :D

[Pacion]

Not that I am even contemplating anything from the list :lol: it dawned on me a few days ago that there is a guy at work who I have gotten into the lift with first thing in the morning, about five times now, in the space of three weeks. We would ask each other which floor, press the button and travel in silence. (He gets off one floor before me.)

When it dawned on me, I was thinking that I should say thing to him - at least findout his name - otherwise this could go on for the next year or so, just the two of us, getting into the lift together and not saying a word :lol:

What would you do/how would you react if this were you either as me or as him :lol:

[MacMoto]

how would you react if this were you
Depends on how friendly/innocent you look I suppose -- or how sinister/disturbed, as the case may be :twisted:.

[ratherbdancing]

The best is while your at a dance competition practicing your routines in the elevator by yourself and when the door opens and the organizer of the comp or a judge is staring at you. :roll:

[*princess*]

i recived this in an email, like a year or so ago and it still crackes me up everytime i read it however im still wiating for the next time i go in an elevator :lol:
