Thing To Do In An Elevator
« on: July 13, 2007, 07:09:38 AM »
   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 buttons for other people, but push the wrong ones.
   4. Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
   5. Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"
   6. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"
   7. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
   8. Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
   9. Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
  10. Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
  11. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exit 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 up again."
  15. Swat at flies that don't exist.
  16. Tell people that you can see their aura.
  17. Call out, "Group hug!" 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, "You're 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. Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and 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."
  27. Offer name tags to all the other passengers. Wear yours upside down.
  28. When the elevator reaches a floor, pretend you're struggling to open the door. And when it opens, by itself, play embarrassed.
  29. Murmur, "Have to pee, have to pee", then say "Oooppps!"
  30. Scream out Geronimo every time the door opens.
  31. When everything is quiet, ask "Who's cell phone is that?"

32. [censored at discretion of author...think about it]
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

35. Frantically scream, "Everyone...we have to jump when we reach the ground floor, or WE'LL ALL DIE!  Jump with me!"

32. (The spelled-out version) When your significant other is the only one besides you in the elevator, press 'emergency stop' between two floors and then make sure you spend the time in there well, but a tip is to make sure you don't sweat in your clothes or wet your clothes in some other way, it will be a lot less obvious afterwards if you can avoid it :P

I was going to be a bit more graphic, hence the censoring, but...exactly.

(The number are all confuzzled now, so I'm assuming Durnia was 36.)


37. Don't get too close to someone or act strangely, just stand facing sideways and behave as normal.  You'd be surprised how incredibly weirded out people will get by something this simple.

38. Stand right by the crack between the doors and watch people jump and scream when they open.

39. Drag a small sofa into the elevator and simply ride it up and down while conducting a conversation with your couch-mate.


I've done all three of these and they are quite amusing.

I'm very tempted to try the sofa one at my local eight story library, complete with a view of San Jose on the window.  In modern America, doing # 10, though it would be fun as hell, would probably get you arrested.  Twister would be fun.  21 and 24-27...I have to try those.

"You found us out"...good people still have a sense of humor.
