Elevator Antics

Much commentary has been made on group behavior inside an elevator. You know, like how everyone stands perfectly spaced apart (except for the freak who doesn’t understand personal space), how people will get in the elevator and push a button, even if it’s already lit, and how most conversations tend to stop after the doors close.

Well, what do people do when they have the entire elevator to themselves? Security personnel must have loads of fun watching elevator cams sometimes. I don’t know about anyone else, but here’s what I do, depending on the occasion:

• Curse repeatedly when I hit the button for the wrong floor.
• Attempt to peer at my reflection in the somewhat shiny doors to see if my hair is still behaving.
• Slouch completely against the wall, rest my head against it, and close my eyes. Any onlooker would be convinced I managed to fall asleep standing in an elevator.
• Do squats, leg stretches and shoulder rolls in an effort to loosen up from sitting on my ass all day.
• Hum, whistle or “sing” whatever’s in my head (I put “sing” in quotes because I wouldn’t call it singing. Really. Have you heard me?)
• I may even do a little jig if the mood hits me right.
