Personal Ramblings of a Punjabi Geek

Things to do in an elevator…

shekhar:

• Bring a camera, and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
• Move your desk into 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 a corner, and when someone gets on, ask 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?”
• Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
• When the doors close, announce to the others, “It’s okay, don’t panic. They’ll open up again.”
• Swat at flies that don’t exist.
• Tell people that you can see their aura.
• Call out, “GROUP HUG!” and enforce it.
• Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, “Shut up. All of you. Just Shut up!!!”
• Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside, as “Got enough air in there?”
• Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
• Stare at another passenger for awhile, 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.
• Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.
• Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
• Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
• Stare grinning at another passenger for awhile, then announce “I have new socks on.”
• Draw a little square on the floor with chalk, and announce to the other passengers, “This is MY personal space!!”
• When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn’t you.
• Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock.
• Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone, and ask if they know what floor you’re on.
• Hold the doors open, and say that you’re waiting for your friend. After awhile, 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, and then scream “That’s mine!”
