The Explorer

I once had my kids Dora toothbrush turn on and my bag began to vibrate very loudly. I decided to ignore the noise for the rest of the ride.

The Phone

I was talking on my phone in the elevator with 1 other women in it.

When I hung up I said:
"It's weird the phones work in the elevators here."

"What?" she said.

"My phone. It's strange it works in the elevator."

"Oh, mine doesn't." she said.

"Oh."

"It's good yours does though." she said.

And then I got off the elevator.

The One Armed Man

I stepped into an elevator. There was a man in there with one arm.
The door began to close and we heard a woman yell, "Hold the elevator."
He reached out with his one arm to stop the door from closing.
A ballsy one, he was.

The Obvious

My favorite thing to do when in an elevator is say out loud: God, it's so awkward in here!

The Slightly Insane

I don't know if this counts but...

When I'm in a full elevator. Everybody kind of faces the door, right?
Well, I like to make fun faces or pretend I'm singing.
It makes me laugh.

But I guess that makes the ride awkward for others, not me.
hahaha.

The Bash

So I am about to get in an elevator with a guy today and his shirt on the back says:
Bachelor Bash '09 Fort Lauderdale FL

I say to him, "How was the bash?"

He said, "What?"

I said, "Your shirt."

He said, "Oh its not mine."

I said, "Your shirt?"

He said, "Its my roommates."

I said, "Oh, did he enjoy the bash?"

He said, "I don't know."

Then it was awkward for 2 floors and then I got off.

The Squirelly One

I got in the elevator a couple months ago...and there was this weird squirrely looking woman. I looked at the elevator buttons and she had pressed all of them.

This fucking 50 year old woman had pushed all the buttons!!! And I looked at her and said
"Really lady? really?"

She got off on the next floor and I had to ride the entire way up.
