I was in a lift full of people once, I noticed the Makers Name on a Metal plate next to the buttons 'Shindler'
I burst out laughing and said Shindler's Lift......No one laughed or looked at me. Oh Gawd!!!!

When somebody gets on with a bigger bottle of Deep Riverock.

Always take out the moby and pretend to text.....happens every day in my job...one particular guy (who probably feels more awkward than me) actually stands with his back to the other person in the lift and hums....
Hmmm..hmm..hmm

What's your problem?

Was I supposed to be witty when replying to your super awesome thread? It is a shame that you didn't follow this code of practice yourself.

I'd love to see these two get stuck in a lift..

A few weeks ago I had a 'road rage' incident with a 'middle-aged lady' who tried to prevent me from turning left off O'Connell Street to the Arnott's car park (she illegally flew up the inside in the bus lane - she was at fault but blasted her horn at me. The cheek!). She also turned into the car park so when we stopped at the queue for the ticket barrier I got out and "questioned her driving ettiquette and the source of her driving licence" (I might have suggested that she obtained it in a packet of cornflakes......:rolleyes:). I drove off feeling a lot better for my outbust!

Fast-forward to 5 minutes later after I had parked on the top floor and was taking the lift down when it stops on the floor below and who should get on.................

Lets just say it was the longest descent in a lift ever with just the 2 of us and a deafening silence!:o

Should have kicked her in the face.

Now that would have been the perfect opportunity to interupt the silence with a cheek shuddering fart.

Was just about to step out of the lift in my apartment with a mate when I let a nice stinker of a fart "as a present for the next guy" who turner out to be my next door neighbour, who was standing there waiting as the door opened. :cool:

Ha brilliant.
There was nobody else on the lift was there?
You said it to yourself didn't you?

I would've lol'd if I was there Elenxor.
How could anybody not laugh?
Unless it was at a Jewish convention or something?
Rabbi Mertzl probably wouldn't find it funny.

You can't say you have cracking tits and just take that back.

I find lip-locking with them kills the awkward silence.

I satyed on the 42nd floor of a Shanghai Hotel for a few days and the lift always had a really old western guy with his hands on the ass of a really young chinese girl - every friggin' time i got in (different people - same craic) they were long and awkward lift moments.

Was it a "hotel"?

Deus Ex Machina · 25-06-2010 06:55PM

How lacking in basic social skills do you have to be for a situation such as this to be awkward? What exactly is the source of awkwardness? Things like this always annoy me, same thing with people who race through conversations to avoid that "awkward" silence, pathetic.

I Avoid awkward moments in a lift , stairs all the way.

On several occassion in a job I used to be in if someone I wasn't fond of got in the lift I'd all of a sudden lift up my phone and get out of the lift acting like I had some important phone call to take that couldn't possibly be taken while I was in the lift. And then I'd just use the stairs.

In fact, the number one way to avoid such situations is to use the stairs, so even if you see someone you don't like it's only a brief encounter and you can pretend you never even saw each other!

InkSlinger67 · 25-06-2010 10:36PM

Seems to be a lot of fart related solutions to the lift conundrum here. I just stand there peacefully until it reaches my required floor

I heard a great one there the other day as I was getting off on a floor, another guy who was leaving with me said to two old ladies waiting "JESUS!!! We've been in there for the past four hours!!! Pure hell!!!"

I think they took the stairs afterwards! :pac:

Wolfe Tone · 25-06-2010 10:49PM

When someone else gets on the lift I always say:

Good morning Mr Tyler..... Going down?
Then erupt into a booming air guitar accompanied rendition of Love in an Elevator.
