Things to Do In an Elevator

1. When there is only one other person in the elevator with you, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you.

2. Push the buttons and pretend that they give you a shock. Smile and then go back and do it again.

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 are on.

5. Hold the door open and say that you are waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say “Hi, Greg. How has your day been?”

6. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to pick it up, then scream “That’s MINE!”

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

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

9. Leave a box in the corner and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking.

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

11. Ask “Did you feel that?”

12. When the doors close, announce to the others, “Don’t panic, they open up again!”

13. Swat at flies that don’t exist.

14. Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside, ask “Got enough air in there?”

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

16. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror “You’re one of THEM!” and back away slowly.

17. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

18. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, “This is my personal space.”

19. Wear a puppet on your hand and talk to the other passengers.

20. Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

I actually got stuck in an elevator last year in Brisbane. I wish I'd had that list then!

Things to Do In an Elevator

I actually did this one after watching a comic use it during a stand-up routine.

I work on the 5th floor of a very large building. With only 8 elevators, the get crowded at "rush hour." I was the last one on and after the doors closed, I turned to face everyone and said, "My name is Trek Rider and I am going to the fifth floor."

There was a stunned silence. One guy actually started to announce his name and desitnation, too, when his wife or girlfriend elbowed him in the ribs.

As to passing gas, a former co-worker would enter a crowded elevator, rip off a paint peeler, and then look at the closest woman, and say "Geez, lady, that was horrible!"

Back in the late 1970's my bandmate was a student at MIT, and he knew of one building on the MIT campus that only had a single elevator...that happened to be 10' x 10'...and that had a live AC outlet in it.

So one afternoon we took all our band gear over there & set up in the elevator. Electric guitar, electric bass, and drumkit. We started playing, and spent a good 2 or 3 hours rehearsing & jamming, all the while riding up & down as people used the elevator to get to wherever they had to go.

Unbelievably, most folks completely ignored us; they'd just get on the elevator, press their floor button, and turn around to face the doors, as if there weren't three punks thrashing the daylights out of their instruments at >110dB SPL in the tiny space with them.
