So I was in a Lift today and...

    So I was in a lift earlier today and the lift was packed. I was standing at the very front of the lift facing the doors, my nose was roughly 14inches from the front opening doors. Getting another person on would be a tight fit.

    Everyone in the lift were strangers obviously and we were heading to the top floor of the building.

    Anyway the lift stops a few floors up and the doors open. This guy walks into the lift and stands directly in front of me facing me and everyone in the lift instead of turning around and facing the front. ( probably due to space contraints )

    Anyway I didn't know if I should laugh in his face or knee him in the groin. Needless to say I've never come across this before and I suppose you would just have to be there to understand the hilarity of the matter.

    I got out 2 floors up and caught another lift because this guys face was 2 inches away from my face looking directly into me as if he wanted a kiss or something.

    anyway rant over, any1 expereince anything like that before. An opposite facing lift dweller who wants a kiss ?

    Too late. Fishy Fingers is to be consumed. They will feed on his/her tears. Rookie mistakes are rarely tolerated 'round these parts!

    You just know this thread is gonna end up merged with the "Have you ever farted at an inappropriate time" thread :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 403 ✭✭Humans eh!


    He probably got a Dara O'Briain DVD for Christmas. I recall Dara advocating just such a maneuver in a stand up routine.
    You should have farted loudly and stood there expressionless. :D

    Here's what you do, always works. Start sniffing (loudly to attract the others attention. Then start cringing, indicating towards your man, coughing a little bit and waving you hand in front of your face. Put a look of disgust on. Make eye contact with the others to gain their 'approval'. Even if he says something, no one will want to hear it. That'll sort him out.

    walked onto a lift before and the person on it clearly thought it would be opening from the other side, didn't notice it opening or us getting on, scared the **** out of her. I thought it was a mannequin for a while, just standing looking at the other door.

    with regards to the op, i dont think the life goes to the top floor


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Cianos


    I'm in a life every day. Even when I'm in a lift I'm in a life. Whose life? Mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭mathie

    You should have kissed him. He obviously wanted you to but was too shy to ask. Poor guy.

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    I'm sorry, you'll need to be more specific - how far exactly was you nose from the doors?

    I don't want to see a ghost
    It's the sight that I fear most
    Rather have a piece of toast
    watch the evening news
    Lift! oh Lift!
    ohohhohoh Lift
    Oh Lift.

    funny feckers :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭RussellTuring


    Can people stop with the life/lift puns please? I'd like to elevate this to the status of a serious thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Shoulda stared straight at him and kept sayin DING every 3 seconds. That'd sort him. It may even have given the other people a lift boost.

    When's a lift not a lift? When it's going down, then it's my ex girlf.... wait that can't be right......

    You should have said "I love you" and smiled after he got in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    Same thing when you're on a crowded bus and have no where to look, it's typical of our modern capitalist, sardine tin compacting society. Stick it to the man, demand a new lift.
