Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Push all the buttons.
When you get into the elevator, push the button for every floor.
This makes everyone’s ride on the elevator longer, if only for a few seconds.
If you want to take it a step further, look around questioningly at everyone in the elevator when no one gets off at the floors you pushed.When someone comes in, say, "I've got this," before you push all of the buttons.
You can also push all the buttons as you reach the floor you are getting off at.
If someone asks you why you pushed all the buttons, you can honestly say, "It was just a joke!" -
Step 2: Make a dinging noise at each floor.
Every time the elevator reaches a new floor, say “ding!” very loudly.
You can even sing the word “ding” on each floor like notes in a scale, getting higher as you reach each new floor.You can make other noises if you prefer, such as a bird cawing or an explosion sound every time a button is pushed. , Many elevators have mirrors on the walls.
A great way to be mischievous in an elevator is to carry on a running commentary while you look at yourself in the mirror.
You could look at yourself, turning to catch different angles and say “All right, all right, now we’re talking,” very loudly.
You could also keep adjusting your shirt or your hair, keeping a running dialogue about what look is best for you.
Stand in the corner of the elevator facing the wall.
Don't say anything the whole ride. , Many elevators play music in the background, usually soft rock or smooth jazz.
If you’re in an elevator that is playing music, start to dance.
Start just bobbing your head and tapping your feet, and then get your whole body into it.
Take up as much space as you can to dance until everyone is staring at you., At every floor, make a loud announcement telling everyone the floor number.
Say something like “Everyone going to floor ten, get off now! No time to dilly dally!”You can also pretend to conduct people onto the elevator, saying “All aboard the elevator train!” , When the elevator is going from the bottom floor to the top, as soon as the doors close, exclaim that you lost your tarantula/snake/scorpion but confirm that it is somewhere in the elevator.
Most people will probably see that this is a joke.
However, if somebody looks seriously alarmed or is starting to panic, let them know that you were not being serious. , For example, build a Lego city in the middle of the elevator.
Lay a Twister mat on the floor and ask people if they want to play. , When there are a lot of people, say, "You're probably wondering why I've gathered you here today." -
