- Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake.

- On the top 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.

- Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "I've got new socks on!".

- Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

- Wear "X-Ray Specs" and leer suggestively at other passengers.

- Stop at every floor, run off the elevator, then run back on.

- When at least 8 people have boarded, moan from the back: "Oh, no, not now, damn motion sickness!".

- Meow occasionally.

- Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly.

- Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: "Got enough air in there?".

- Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

- When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.

- Wear a puppet on your hand and talk to other passengers "through" it.

- When the elevator is silent, look around and ask "is that your phone?".

- Say "Ding!" at each floor.

- Say "I wonder what all these do" and push the red buttons.

- Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

- Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host."

I really had to share with you guys this one...I thought they were pretty good...I'm not sure wich one to try first...hmmm...well...I wouldn't want to be mean though...

innocent

Have a nice laugh I hope!

Well take my word for it: don't jump when the elevator is stopping. I used to think that if an elevator was to fall, and you knew it was fixing to hit the ground. That you could simply jump and maybe save yourself.
HA!!
My sis, my mom and me were in an elevator at a hospital, when I was telling them about this. The elevator was going down, and I jumped just as it stopped. OUCH!! It hurt. It felt like my legs were jammed, and I hit the floor on my a-- hard. While it did hurt,it was very funny. And nope, I will not do that again.

if the elevator is falling, lay down flat on the ground...more surface area to absorb the shock.

as far as jumping on the way down...it's FUN. Jump on the way up and you go flying up, it's great!

9/16 allen wrench, 2 bolts - 30 seconds, unless they're drop tiles then it's even easier. Not that I condone this, mind you.

Smaller elevators like that may not have enough top clearance, and someone getting pinned at the top wouldn't be fun in the least bit. You'll need a tape measure if/when you test this to measure clearance from the top of the car to the top of the shaft when it's all the way up. Odds are you don't have the keys for maintenance mode, or you'd have been up there already and would know if you'd get smashed.

yeah...and maybe work isn't the place to try this...I don't know...and yes, I would definitely measure top clearance before I do anything silly like that.
