How to freak everyone out in an elevator

• When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
• Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
• Ask if you can push the buttons for other people, but push the wrong ones.
• Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
• Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"
• Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"
• Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
• Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
• Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
• Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
• Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exit with the passengers.
• Ask, "Did you feel that?"
• Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
• When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again."
• Swat at flies that don't exist.
• Tell people that you can see their aura.
• Call out, "Group hug!" then enforce it.
• Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"
• Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"
• Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
• Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM!" and back away slowly.
• Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
• Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
• Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
• Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."
• Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is my personal space."
