how to annoy people in an elevator

How many times have you felt a sudden urge to break a social norm, act completely out of character, or just plain silly? An elevator ride would be a prime opportunity to try this out. I can't say that I've ever behaved in a ridiculous manner in an elevator setting, but it sure would be amusing because the people with you are forced to put up with whatever it is you have up your sleeve!

First, preferably get rid of your parents; they will most likely foil your plans or apologize to the others on your behalf, and therefore, ruin the joke. You should enlist the help of little sibling instead if that's an option. After that, act as naturally as possible entering the elevator, and pick a spot to stand. Now that you're safe and sound on the elevator, it's time for the real fun to begin. First thing's first: if there are multiple other passengers, pick a victim. Slowly move closer and closer to this person until you brush shoulders--this will get the person's attention. At this point, you have two choices--either give a cheeky grin and remain uncomfortably close, or you can obnoxiously/too loudly blurt out "MY BAD," or if you're feeling especially bold, "EXCUSE YOU."

Next, shift back to your original position. At each new floor say "Ding!," and every time a new person gets on, salute them and say "Welcome aboard!" After that, start meowing occasionally. By now, you have most certainly captured the attention of everyone else on the elevator and they are all probably getting pretty fed up with you, but you're not finished yet! Begin to crash from side to side as if you're sailing in rough seas, and then casually suggest you all join in a sing-along. When no one says anything, act extremely insulted. For your finale, unzip your suitcase slightly, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?" Now not only will all of the other passengers think you're genuinely bizarre, but now they'll be worried that you're hiding a body and that you are a mentally-ill murderer! Mission complete!
