what do you do when you're alone in an elevator

How many of you practice your karate.

30

...wait?

Guys, it's like, 30 seconds. Stop, breath.

Yeah, most of the elevators I encounter are at hotels while traveling, so it’s usually the first place I have a moment to breathe after going non-stop for hours and hours. I’m not practicing karate, I’m trying not to collapse from exhaustion.

I like to wave and blow a kiss to the security camera just in case someone is looking at it so they know I appreciate them

I do this with every security camera! 😂 Often it's more just making a silly face in the hope that someone is watching and has a giggle...

Transform back to my original form, it's tiring to keep this human appearance.

Karate? No.

I do let my imagination play out an action/fight scene that will occur when the elevator "dings" and the doors open. Often with an action based song playing in my head.

I watch too many movies.

I look around for cameras and if I find one, I stare at it for the whole ride. No one really watches those things unless something is being investigated so on the rare chance someone sees it, I’ll just be an oddity in a much more interesting tale.

Usually I just take the stairs though. I hate surveillance.

practice your karate

*kzzzt* Could you please stop jumping around in the elevator, you're triggering the gravity sensors and causing alarms. Thank you. *kzzzt*

I like to take a step in, press my floor button and not turn around. Facing the back of the elevator even if someone else gets on.

I stare at myself in the mirrored surface. I presume there are cameras, so I don't weird out in there 😬

I think about why I didn't went by the stairs again and again (I like stairs, that's my sport of the day)

Nervously stare at my cellphone signal while I play out an entire scenario of being stuck in the elevator by myself for hours.

Turn the music from my phone speakers to near full blast if not wearing headphones. And maybe dance to it.
