Things to do in an elevator

I found this funny list of annoying things to do in an elevator:
These are REALLY tempting!


Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."
Ask each passenger getting on if you can push the button for them.
Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.
Blow spit bubbles.
Blow your nose and offer to show the contents of your kleenex to other passengers.
Bring a chair along.
Burp, and then say "mmmm...tasty!"
Carry a blanket and clutch it protectively.
Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: "Got enough air in there?"
Do Tai Chi exercises.
Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that this is your "personal space."
Frown and mutter "gotta go, gotta go" then sigh and say "oops!"
Give religious tracts to each passenger.
Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.
Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!"
Holler "Chutes away!" whenever the elevator descends.
If anyone brushes against you, recoil and holler "Bad touch!"
Lean against the button panel.
Lean over to another passenger and whisper: "Noogie patrol coming!"
Leave a box between the doors.
Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.
Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off.
Meow occassionally.
Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down.
On a long ride, sway side to side at the natural frequency of the elevator.
On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the bottom.
One word: Flatulence!
Play the harmonica.
Pull your gum out of your mouth in long strings.
Say "Ding!" at each floor.
Say "I wonder what all these do" and push the red buttons.
Sell Girl Scout cookies.
Shadow box.
Shave.
Show other passengers a wound and ask if it looks infected.
Sing "Mary had a little lamb" while continually pushing buttons.
Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of THEM!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.
Stare at your thumb and say "I think it's getting larger."
Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "I've got new socks on!"
Start a sing-along.
Take a bite of a sandwich and ask another passenger: "Wanna see wha in muh mouf?"
Walk on with a cooler that says "human head" on the side.
Wear "X-Ray Specs" and leer suggestively at other passengers.
Wear a puppet on your hand and talk to other passengers "through" it.
When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.
When at least 8 people have boarded, moan from the back: "Oh, not now, darn motion sickness!"
When the elevator is silent, look around and ask "is that your beeper?"
Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly.


If you can come up with any more funny things to do in an elevator, feel free to post them...

Ask a five-year-old to draw their name on the button panel.

Say, "Oh no, I thought I could smell something!" then look away and say quietly, "They don't make the nappies as good as they used to."

Use an imaginary computer and ask everyone,"Do you want to play?"

Re: Things to do in an elevator

I've got one! Enter. Go to the back. Face the front. Stare at the floor indicator. Do not shift your weight or speak. Get off when it is your floor. Will really freak people out.

Re: Things to do in an elevator

my usual is to go for the top floor of the building, post something on a board there, get back, go to the next floor down, and repeat... Have actually done this, and it drives people nutty (imagine why)

Re: Things to do in an elevator

Here's another one. When the elevator door opens, thoroughly look over each passenger, shake your head, give a knowing smile, and don't get on. Just make sure you are bigger than all of them.

Re: Things to do in an elevator

Stand right outside the elevator and when the door opens, yell


Use quick-drying glue to attach a smiley face over the buttons.
Say "Is there enough oxygen in here?"
Meow.
Tickle someone in the belly and when they look at you, look really innocent.
Stick a note that says "Hi!!" in someone's shoe and when they look, proceed as above.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels sick in an elevator, and that there's an actual term for it. I kept saying the sick feeling I feel when I'm in an elevator as "landsick", the terrestrial equivalent of "seasick".


Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.

Re: Things to do in an elevator

1. Go into a crowded elevator and say “I bet you’re wondering why I gathered you all here.”
2. Looking nowhere in particular, say “That’s a weird place to put a piano.”
3. Sit down (possibly in a chair you bring with you).
4. After someone exits the elevator, just as the doors are closing, say “Wait, you forgot your…”
5. Get everyone on the elevator to agree to bust out laughing as soon as the elevator opens on the ground floor as if you just said an amazing joke.
6. When someone goes to push a button, stop them and ask “Wait, can I push it for you? I like the way it feels.”
