Elevator Shenanigans

I read this on someone else's blog and copied it because I just had to laugh at the thought of doing some of these, but I can't remember where I read it and I didn't copy the reference. So if you are reading this and it was yours, sorry and/or thanks. I don't really see myself doing any of these esp. since there aren't that many buildings with elevators around here, but some of you who read this may frequent elevators on a daily basis. If you try one of these let me know.

Things to do on an elevator

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."

  • Someone with more guts than I have do a few of these and let us know what happened!

    I have a friend who might try a few.

    Last week he was driving and we went to a drive-through fast-food place. He stuck a plastic faucet with a suction cup on his forehead and asked the attendent, "May I have a cup, please?"

  • They were allll funny, but I laughed out loud at #'s 9, 15, and 19. I would never have the nerve to do any of those. However, I do talk to people. Last time I was on an elevator at the doctor's office, I had forgotten to take these forms back to the office after I had a bone density done. This guy saw me go down and then back up again, so I felt I should tell him what had occurred. :-)

  • Or try this one: just let out a big ole silent blast of gas and ask, "Ew! Who DID that?"
