.... what do you do? Why is it when you are in a lift with someone, you feel it necessary to exchange small talk about things that dont even interest you or just stand there with the uneasy silence surrounding you.

Anyhow, I had the pleasure before crimbo of being stuck in the lift at work with several people so it wasnt all that bad, however had I just been stuck with one individual, especially of the opposite sex, I would have been like a shy school boy and wouldnt have said a word. Odd world it is... :)

So, imagine the situation... you are stuck in the lift with someone of the opposite sex. What is the plan?

Pretend I'm deaf :hihi:

I'd jump up and down to make the lift jiggle a bit and scare them half to death.

Stuck as in properly stuck? Not moving for an hour or so?

I think I'd say....."Do you think you'll be going down before this lift does?":hihi:

I'd just ignore them and start faffing with my mobile on a game or something....I'm sure they would probably do the same !!

;)

I'm incredibly shy !!!!!

I`d fart to break the ice!

I would listen to music on my mobile phone, without headphones.

I would conduct some sort of psychological experiment and see if I can get the person to break under the intense pressure. Failing that, I would say "Hello".

A nice bit of Bassline or something? Then you could watch your fellow trapee slowly turn into the Hulk and break out of the lift and you'd all be saved :thumbsup:

Small talk with someone who is in the same lift is unnecessary but I think it might be rude to keep ignoring them if you are actually stuck in the lift. :hihi:

Well I hope some poor claustrophobic girl doesn't get stuck in a lift with you then, I can see it now, she's freaking out finding it harder and harder to breath, backing into a corner with fear in her eyes, you're stood there eyes fixed firmly on the door, hands behind back, completely ignoring her pleas.

Bang all the buttons and start screaming!!!
Become and complete and utter chlostrophobic headcase!

Well, it's something to do, isn't it? Saves having to do small talk. Heh heh.

Talk about your mother whilst twitching.

My kindness is reserved for you, dear ;)

Erm, the above scenario would be enough to scare me... let alone the girl :D

Whils't on the subject of stuck in lifts, I read an interesting article in the Daily Telegraph about a man stuck in a lift for 41 hours.

The article was reprinted from an original article in the New Yorker, but there is a link to that article in the above blog. Recommended.

Pretend I'm deaf :hihi:

I'd pretend I'm death.

i'd talk to them if I was stuck in there - could end up being a bit of a giggle. And if the chap was hot, I'd probably live out the lift fantasy if we were waiting for some time!!

lol :hihi:

This is why you should always go to the toilet before getting in a lift. Who's going to have the embarrassment of going in the corner first?

I could get along with her for the duration just so long as she wasn't a nose picker, a farter or didnt suffer from chronic halitosis

Just say........"could be worse.......we could drop" :)

"... or suffocate" :). Especially if Lyndix is in there farting! :gag: :hihi:

depends if its a good looking female or not

I would say "a big strapping bloke like you can get through the emergency trap door and prize open the doors on the next floor. I saw Bruce Willis do it".

stuck in a lift huh? well, I'd sit down, offer my jacket for them to sit on, and chat away a while until rescue turns up. simple.

I'd make small talk or discuss ways of fixing the elevator problem. If the guy was incapable of chatting, however, I'd simply suggest we remain silent to preserve the limited oxygen supply.

Id envy her.

Imagine being stuck in a lift with ME! The girls birthdays would all come along at once, especially if I`d been on the coffee and had a curry the night before.

I think I'm having a panic attack.

I think you`ll find those sharp little gasps are of LUST not panic!

Jabber lovin in an elevator.... hot stuff :D

Panic, scream, hyperventilate, attack anyone who comes near me :hihi:

I always use stairs when appropriate :)

So cool and sophisticated :)

I'd start swaying and chanting...


Then I'd have a conversation with god.

I'd explain that to prevent the lift from falling, we would need to spread our weight more evenly across the floor. I would start by suggesting we remove our clothes and distribute then evenly across the floor.

George Clooney would never escape.!:love:

I'd have a damn good try though.:D:D

I would say, we should have taken the stairs.
