hit all the buttons in a crowded elevator

that I need a partner in crime for this goal. It doesn’t seem like it would be as fun if I did it by myself. Or maybe I’m just too chicken to do it on my own:)And I would obviously need to be on a crowded elevator. I don’t really even find myself in elevators that often.

yes.

There’s so much fun in pushing every button in an elevator. I’ve only done it a few times, but every time it has been really fun. The first time I did it, me and a few friends got on at the first floor, hit every button, and took a ride to the top floor (which was a fancy restaurant). On our way, we met several people who were much older than us. They were pretty cool about it, too. One woman in her 50’s even hung out with us when we got to the restaurant. We discussed things and it was awesome how you can get to know people in the strangest ways. She even bought some food for us at the restaurant. Normally in an elevator you’re pretty quiet and ignore everybody, but if you go in and start talking to people, they’ll catch on really quick and you can have some interesting conversations.

Around midnight, on the first floor where the bar is located, many people were heavily intoxicated and wanted to get to their rooms. However, only one elevator was functioning and everybody wanted to go to bed. On the 16th floor, a friend and I pressed all the buttons and got off quickly. We waited by the balcony with a camera and recorded the elevator going down each floor, taking about 15 seconds or more per floor. People would get on every now and then, and be forced to look at the empty hallways at every floor. As it was descending, there were about 10-15 drunk people wanting to go to their rooms, and they had to wait several minutes just to get on an elevator. (This inconvenience is what gives stairs the advantage) They got pretty rowdy, and by the time the elevator got to them, they were using every colorful word in their vocabulary. It was a blast!

So yeah, definitely do this sometime. It’s really fun to do at night if people are out and about. Do it in your pajamas. Bring an ice bucket with you to start up a random conversation. It’s so much fun.

I let the opportunity pass, there WAY too many people and the elevators were so crowded that there was no space for me :-( got tired of waiting and to eat and do the shopping, it’ll have to be another day… sighs

I think I’m going for it today, me and my mom are going to this mall that’s usually VERY crowded in the elevator, so, I’ll just go ahead and do it… I already told my mom so I don’t surprise her when I do it, but the rest of people, believe me, they’ll be like 0_o

Wish me luck!

I HAD THE MOST PERFECT OPPORTUNITY THE OTHER DAY!

&& i let it pass me by :(

It was at a writers festival. The elevator was filled with teachers and students from all over the place, and i was standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE PANEL!!! But it was ssoooo deathly quiet and i was in my uniform and i was just like mmmmmmmnoo.

Oh well. One Day.

I can’t really do this until i’m heaps old – if a 15 year old girl hops into a packed elevator and hits all the buttons, i’m quite sure she would probably be arrested. Or something terrible.

When i’m an adult people will just think i’m perhaps mentally challenged :)

just make sure you dont get stuck at the back :P

I don’t know where I could do it with enough floors and that would be busy. Plus I’m worried how they’ll react. Deary me. Don’t think I’m cut out for this goal.

1) When there’s only one other person in the lift with you tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you.

2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a 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 cell phone and ask if they know what floor you’re on.

5) Hold the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, “Hi Greg. How’s your day been?”

6) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, “That’s mine!”

7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8) Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

9) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play.

10) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something 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 up again.”

15) Swat at flies that don’t exist!:P

17) Call out, “group hug!”, then enforce it.

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

19) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, Got enough air in there?”

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

21) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, “You’re one of THEM!” and back away slowly.

22) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

23) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

24) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

25) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then announce, “I have new socks on.”

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