For example,

What to do when bored in an elevator?
1 ) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
2 ) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3 ) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.
4 ) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
5 ) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
6 ) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.
7 ) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.
8 ) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
9 ) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!"
10 ) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"
11 ) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"
12 ) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
13 ) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
14 ) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
15 ) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"

Come up with your own, lets make this interesting...

Office dares

ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES

1) Run one lap around the office at top speed.
2) Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other ‘non-player’ must be in the toilet at the time).
3) Ignore the first five people who say ‘good morning’ to you.
4) Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, “Just called to say I can’t talk right now. Bye.”
5) To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
6) When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, “Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!”.
7) Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say “Sorry, I really prefer it this way”.
8) Walk sideways to the photocopier.
9) While riding a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.

THREE-POINT DARES

1) Say to your boss, “I like your style” and shoot him with double-barreled fingers.
2) Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, “Did you get all that, I don’t want to have to repeat it”.
3) Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
4) Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle(there must be a ‘non-player’ within sight).
5) Shout random numbers while someone is counting.

FIVE-POINT DARES

1) At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).

3) For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as “Bob”.
4) Announce to everyone in a meeting that you “really have to go do a number two”.
5) After every sentence, say ‘Mon’ in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in “the report’s on your desk, Mon”. Keep this up for one hour.
6) While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
7) In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, “Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!”.
8) At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, “As God is my witness, I’ll never go hungry again”.

12) Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, “I can’t talk about it”.
13) Posing as a maitre d’, call a colleague and tell him he’s won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
14) Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call.
15) Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
16) Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
17) Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit, and smash each biscuit with your fist.
18) During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
19) Arrange toy figures on the table to represent each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.

And if that isn’t enough for you...

1) At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2) Tell your children over dinner: “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.”
3) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
4) Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it “IN.”

11) Specify that your drive-through order is “to go.”
12) Sing along at the opera.
13) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.

When alone in an elevator one must play airguitar, this counts double if the elevator is mirrored.

When with a bunch of friends in an elevator a favored activity is jumping up and down in an attempt to break the elevator. Best combined with the "How many people can we fit in the lift" activity.

To add to the effect grab a person getting into the lift roughly and shout, "What time is it! What day! What month! WHAT YEAR!!!" before dramatically running off and diving through some double doors.

Edit: Now why did you delete your post? You've gone and made me look foolish.

How much time do you spend in this elevator?
How many floors has your building?

When in an elevator:
When somebody gets in, curl up in the corner, start hitting yourself on the head while saying shut up shut up shut up.

When the doors are about to open run up to them and pretend to rip them open like the 6 million dollar man while making that weird sound effect.

Don't try this in a hospital....

Me and a friend did something similar a few days ago because we were bored. Some women ran off and brought back 2 doctors and a nurse. No joke. We nearly s*** ourselves.
