If you don’t have a type, here are a few suggestions…

1) When there's only one person in the lift, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you

2) Press the buttons and pretend they give you an electric shock. Smile, and go back for more

3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones

4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your mobile phone and ask if they know what floor you're on

5) Hold the doors open and say you waiting for a freind. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"

6) Drop a pen and wait untill someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "Thats mine!"

7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everybody in the lift

8) Move your desk into the lift and whenever anyone gets in, ask if they have an appointment

9) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play

10) Leave a plain cardboard box in the corner, and when someone gets on , ask them if they can hear the ticking

11) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits 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 again!"

15) Swat at flies that don't exist

16) Tell people you can see theie aura

17) Call out "Group Hug" and then do it

18) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

19) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off

20) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly

21) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to other passengers

22) Listen to the lift walls with your stethoscope

23) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button

24) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on."

25) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the passengers, "This is my personal space"

When there is a full elevator why does everyone go quiet?

I will always make conversation with the nicest looking female in there ... have made some very nice friends like that.

i like humming that clown song you always hear homer humming on the simpsons.. it really makes people worried... give it a go one day... you'll love it.. but the trick is not to start smilying yourself when you do it..

Ha ha,

i like the 'making Explosion noises when any one presses a button'.. mmm might have to try that one...

Also i like to push all the button's just as you leave the lift... Nice way to piss people off....

That's why i was put on this Earth... :) :troop:

I dunno - similar reason that when you go into a carpark like Upark you turn your music down in your car. Does that make you find a carpark easier..?

hahahahaah iv always thought the same..


me, and elevators - im always the one that tries to break the silence..
i feel i can help change peoples ways in elevators.. it is my dream that in 5 years from now - we can comfortably hold a strong, solid conversation in an elevator..

its not illegal to ask the shy person next to u, how there day was..

infact - tommorow im calling the Innagural Adelaide - Talk to a stranger in your elevator day. please report back here and tell us how u went.

im shit scared of elevators lately - had like 3dreams lately about them.. not crashing in them or anything, just close / scary calls.
wonder wat it means..
