Annoying things to do on an elevator.
Annoying Things To Do On An Elevator

1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask "Got enough air in there?"
2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.
4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5) MEOW occasionally.
6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM" - and back away slowly
7) SAY -DING at each floor.
8) SAY "I wonder what all these do?" And push all the red buttons.
9) MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: "I have new socks on."
11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: "Is that your beeper?"
12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.
13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space."
14) WHEN there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.
15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.
17) HOLD the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say "Hi Greg, How's your day been?"
18) DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: "That's mine!"
19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.
20) PRETEND you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.
21) SWAT at flies that don't exist.
22) CALL out "Group hug" then enforce it.

2. A friend and I once went to a convention together in Reno
We decided to get on the elevator at about 2 in the morning and just stand there without pushing any buttons. Of course, in Reno, people are up and down in the elevators all night so eventually, it started moving, stopped at one floor and some people got on.

They pushed their button and realized no other buttons were lit but didn't say anything. We simply stood there. They got to their floor and got off, giving us quizzical looks.

The elevator stayed at that floor for several minutes then began moving again.

We rode it up and down for about an hour and a half. No one ever said anything but they were all wierded out by us.

It was a ball. :rofl:


Incidentally, if you're ever in Reno, go to the Hilton, go up a few floors, get off and look at the elevator doors. They have the trippiest southwestern type design on them - it's like an LSD trip.
