  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 elevator.
  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 a “Group hug” then enforce it.

    Winner.

    Now, is it a good thing or a bad thing that I’ve done some of these things before…?

    Maybe there should be a point system for each item and people could try and earn a perfect score. ;)

    I wonder if I already did one of those. It’s very funny and entertaining. I don’t know what am I gonna do if I see someone do one of those ridiculous things. And if ever I do have the chance to see that, I won’t be annoyed in fact I’m gonna laugh at them and say that, “Hey man, your very cool and very unique!”

    Get on the elevator, stand by the door and face the people waiting

    this is really funny you could glue a penny heads down and see how many people try to pick it up, then tell them its bad luck. Start humming the misson impossible song, or scream when the elevator moves and get in the fetel position (repeat until bored then walk away normally)
