Elevator fun

I overheard a conversation between an older couple on the elevator this morning:

Man: I think it's rude when someone gets on the elevator and faces the wrong way, staring everyone else down.

Woman: Do you know what would be funny though? If someone turned around and faced everyone and said "I suppose you know why I've gathered you all here today," and started giving a speech.



Last week I participated in this little exchange:

Guy on phone (who got on at the same floor as me): Okay, hey, hold on, I want you to hear something. Can you still hear me?

(we go down a few floors)

Guy: Can you still hear me? Just wait a minute, this is going to be great, you've gotta hear the elevator lady say something.

Me: Are you talking about lllllllobby?

Guy: (to me) Yeah! (to friend) oh my God dude, this girl on the elevator knows. The recorded voice that announces the floors says "lobby" in a really funny way.

Doctor standing near us: If you like that, you should hear her say (shakes her head in a saucy way) "mezzanine" over in the other set of elevators.
