Some of you know I work at an elevator company. It has it's ups and downs...hehe. Going through some of my old emails from co-workers I ran into this and I wanted to share. Even those at ThyssenKrupp (my company) know how to have a sense of humor about their job.
1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, 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) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"
5) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
6) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
7) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
8) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
9) Ask, "Did you feel that?"
10) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
11) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again."
12) Swat at flies that don't exist.
13) Call out, "group hug!" then enforce it.
14) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"
15) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"
16) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
17) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM" and back away slowly.
18) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
19) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
20) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."
21) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is my personal space."
22) Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off.
23) Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly.
24) When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.
25) Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.
26)On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the bottom.
27) When at least 8 people have boarded, moan from the back: "Oh, not now, dang motion sickness!"
28) Meow occasionally.
29) Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.
30) Frown and mutter "gotta go, gotta go" then sigh and say "uh-oh!"

Oh, so funny!! I haven't heard these ones before. Now I'm curious as to wether or not you've used these jokes/tricks on someone else.
Hahaha, have you ever done any of these?
These were really funny. I wish I was brave enough to do them. I must admit there have been times I have thought of a few.
I'm waiting for you to try one out, take pictures, then seeing them posted on your blog.
Yes, let's see the fruits of someone's joke-writing labor by re-enactment. :) You've got to love elevator humor!
