...wait?

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

[-] jhn@xffxe4.lol 1 points 1 year ago

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.

30 SECONDS ILL NEVER GET BACK MOTHERFUCKER

[-] heartlessevil@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] andrew@lemmy.dblclk.dev 1 points 1 year ago

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...

...just before I step out the door when I get to my floor.

[-] grin@grinnit.grin.hu 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] pangil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I resist the urge to press any button.

Blue Steel in the mirror.

[-] fennec@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Check my appearance in the mirror.

[-] Makeshift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

I reenact that scene from Captain America

[-] superfly_samurai@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Getting my phone out of pocket and continue reading that great finction.

[-] DelvianSeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just pull out my phone and look at re... er, lemmy

[-] Specific_Skunk@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] dirkgentle@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

What if they have cameras at the stairs?

[-] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

I stand real close to the doors and agitate until I'm allowed out

[-] greensky@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I ask the question, "Why do we exist?"

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Jakylla@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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*

[-] RoryButlerMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] outbound@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Blue Steel in the mirror.

[-] s0m3_one@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] drgltch@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

if no one is entering the empty elevator when I exit, I mash all the buttons.

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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