1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask “Got enough air in there?”
2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you’re embarrassed when they open themselves.
4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5) MEOW occasionally.
6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: “You’re one of THEM” - and back away slowly
7) SAY -DING at each floor.
8) SAY “I wonder what all these do?” And push all the red buttons.
9) MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button. 10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: “I have new socks on.”
11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: “Is that your beeper?”
12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone. 13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: “This is my personal space.”
14) WHEN there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn’t you.
15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.
17) HOLD the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say “Hi Greg, How’s your day been?”
18) DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: “That’s mine!”
19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.
20) PRETEND you’re a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.
21) SWAT at flies that don’t exist.
22) CALL out “Group hug” then enforce it.

This is so funny! I made a to do list for my daughters 16th birthday part scavenger hunt in the mall. They had to take pictures of every thing they did to get credit for it and the winning team got prizes. I made them pretend to pick their noses and then eat it on the elevator! Boy I got some good pictures of all the stuff they did that day!!!

CoyoteQuilts 07-24-2011 06:24 AM

You do know that they are making socks to wear with flip flops now don't you? I found them in K-mart last week and had to send some to my grand-daughters in NYS......

I hope my daughters do not see this. :lol: They would do all of the things. My daughters are all over 40. But they are still little kids at heart. :roll:

It sounds like my life with my youngest that is autistic! She has meowed in public and said the most bizarre things to strangers. One day in the mall she suddenly shouted "we do not touch other peoples butt holes". We have no clue why she said that but I could have crawled into a hole. Now it is just another hilarious family story, but then not so much!

alikat110 07-24-2011 10:28 AM

Funny

Ramona Byrd 07-24-2011 11:06 AM

Sounds like it was made for my brothers. When both came home on leave, they loved to go downtown and suddenly stop and stare, open mouthed, at the second or third story of a building above them. Their stares turned to horror and they started shouting "he's going to jump!! Get out of the way" then they would rush across the street and stand there watching. Of course a crowd would instantly appear, all of them determined to make the "Jumper" either climb back in the window or commit suicide. Both were equally popular shouts, brothers insisted later. Then when the police came these adult military men would shake their heads sadly and stroll away, looking as innocent as they possibly could.

javin22 07-24-2011 11:12 AM

Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!

this one would be funny to either do or watch.

QUILTNMO 07-24-2011 04:19 PM

That's an instant classic! I made the mistake of reading this to my DH a few moments ago, and he's now said it at least five times.

I'll try to record it for you when he says it in an elevator...

Sewfine 07-24-2011 07:59 PM

This is hilarous. Thanks for sharing.

Greenheron 07-24-2011 09:03 PM

I'm still laughing about the buttholes. I can't wait to tell my boyfriend. He'll probably do that at our local mall. :thumbup: :D

ShowMama 07-25-2011 05:25 AM

Here is a true one that happened before the days of sexual harrassment suits. I've worked in a clinic for over 30 years and we once had a physician who loved pulling pranks and making jokes. He also had a deep booming voice.

One day he and his secretary Linda were returning to the office from a meeting on another floor. They happened to be at the back of the elevator and with each stop more and more people got on. Finally, one floor below where the doctor and Linda would normally get off, the elevator stopped for another passenger. He pushed his way forward past everyone, stepped out into the hallway on the wrong floor and turned around facing the elevator. Just as the door closed, looking straight at his secretary, he said "Don't ever touch me like that again!" She was left in the back of a very quiet crowded elevator and said she could feel every eye on her as she exited on the next floor.

But she knew he was pulling a prank on her, as he did with everyone, and believe me, she got him back on numerous occasions with her own pranks, and he loved it.

He died a few years ago and I really miss him. Of course, I was the brunt of his jokes sometimes too, but knew it was all meant for a laugh. He was actually a very kind, gentle man. But by today's standards, he wouldn't have kept his job very long!

nwm50 07-25-2011 06:00 AM

And i have done a couple of these pranks......my friend says im not right in the head! LOL, but they said they still luv me, tehehehe. BUT in some places....u may be faced with guards greeting u when stepping off elevator thinking you belong to the mental place! :oops:
Go to the drive-thru and after placing order say "And this is to go please" will be a moment of silence there! LOL

Cassews 07-25-2011 06:26 AM

hahahahahahahahahahahaha !! oh man that one I had to send to friends !! Thanks for the laugh !!

BuzzinBumble 07-25-2011 06:32 AM

ROTFLMAO! Thanks for the funnies!
I have a friend who thinks this is funny: When she gets on an elevator with only one or two people, she goes and stands too near the other occupant(s), instead of going to a seperate corner.

Cassews 07-25-2011 06:38 AM

One day my husband was driving me nuts with all his ummm shall we say questions. I had enough, we were at Arby's and we had just ordered there were people in the restaurant. He just kept on going, asking the same questions over and over again, I slammed down the order on the table and stated loudly: I have had enough, next time I come to the home they are going to make sure you have taken your medications (and all this straight faced). The whole restaurant was so quiet and cleared out very fast. LOL The manager came over and asked if there was any problems that he should call the police about. I stated no, the home just forgot to give him the medications he needed for the day and I was taking him back after lunch. He stated if I needed any help to let him know. LOL I laughed so hard after leaving the restaurant, DH was very embarassed. But he got the point !LOL and I ate my lunch in peace and quiet, all while being very straight faced!lol
I kept telling him it reminded me of one of our children.

I was shopping at a drug store with my boys When they were 8 and 10. As we were at the cash register I saw them smirking. When we got outside I asked them what was up. They finally confessed to setting all of the alarm clocks to ring at the same time.

jitkaau 07-25-2011 07:16 AM

I won't get in if there is only one other person in there...the reactions are quite amusing...

Forgive me please, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry for you. I keep imagening hearing what your daughter said at the mall and ROFL, but when I think of who she is, I think laughing is inappropriate.

ptquilts 07-25-2011 07:28 AM

My MIL had dementia and SIL used to take her shopping on the bus. As she left the bus, MIL would turn and say in a loud voice, "I want everyone to have a wonderful, wonderful day!"

SIL would cringe, but hey, she probably made a few people smile.

catmcclure 07-25-2011 02:13 PM

Used to work for a lawyer. When he and a friend were about to get off the elevator he'd ask his friend: "What have they decided to do about that morals charge filed against you?"

red-warrior 07-25-2011 03:01 PM

Thanks for a good laugh!

MOMBASIL53 07-25-2011 04:15 PM

I really needed this today,thanks so much all of you.

Rosie the "Ripper" 07-25-2011 06:39 PM

I hate to say this but if I did any of these in St. Louis, I would probably get beat up.

nancia 07-25-2011 09:52 PM

i like to stand next to the buttons with my hands clasped behind my back, and when the car stops, say "6th floor--lingerie, sportswear, athletic supporters. mind your step."this really made me laugh. thank you!
