THINGS TO DO ON
AN ELEVATOR
-
Push the buttons & pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
- Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
- Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor
you're on.
- 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?"
- Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream,
"That's mine!"
- Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
- Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they
have an appointment.
- Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
- Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear
something ticking.
- Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits
with the passengers.
- Ask, "Did you feel that?"

open up again."
- Swat at flies that don't exist.
- Tell people that you can see their aura.
- Call out, "group hug!", then enforce it.

you, just shut up!"
- Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough
air in there?"
- Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting
off.
- Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one
of THEM!" and back away slowly.
- Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

socks on."
