The other day I was in one with my ipod and listening to spanish music. Since I was alone, I started dancing and singing. What do you guys do?

Hello lovelyladydancing If I were alone is the elevator I will singing or playing with my mobile phone. Maybe write SMS or just looking my mobile phone. If I bring abook I will read too, maybe just a while, because that much time in elevator I think. God bless you *angel www.beautycosmetictips.com

I try not to do much because I am afraid there might be a camera around and I don't want to be seen.

you are right about those cameras being around anywhere these days. for conservative ones, it will always be better to be in continuous observance of the right manners anywhere they may go. with this in mind, i'd rather be behaving the way conservative ones would.

Haven't been in an elevator except one at the library and they did not have music. The ride is usually short and so not a chance to be silly or anything. I like you being able to enjoy your ride. Keep up the good work!

I'm not afraid of the lift. I think that the most common thing I do is to wait for the next floor. If there's a mirror inside, and in our country's lifts it is usual, I check my hairs and tongue too... bye

I get in press the button and stand waiting for the elevator to stop on my floor. If the elevator has adds it in I will read them and that is it.

I usually just stand there and watch the floor numbers change on the panel above me and wait for the doors to open. I never do anything special or off the wall, any elevator ride, whether I'm alone or with someone else is a pretty normal, boring event.

when i am alone in the elevator, i will still be behaving the way i would if there had been others with me then. this is for sure since this has happened to me many times over. i am always anxious to reach immediately the floor which i am gearing for.

Oh I was just telling some one about this the other day. The elevator at work has hand rails slightly lower then waste high. When alone, I use the rails for strecthing. I face them, grab on and then squat down, stretching my back. I sit at the computer a lot and need that stretch. My biggest fear, I might break one!

Since i know there are cameras in our elevator, most of the time when I'm alone i just look at my reflection in the mirror (the door) or sometimes, listen to music or fidget with my phone.

I don't really care for elevators. I tend to try to avoid them. Due to the fact I have a police scanner, and always here about elevators being stuck. But if I am in an elevator. I just tend to think , "Ok I have my Cell phone on me"... so basically I don't do anything in an elevator. I just stand there & pray lol.

I don't really do anything, I just stand there and wait.

I don't do anything except wait! I don't like elevators. Stuck in a small tiny space, plus I kind of get motion sick. I prefer to take the stairs when I can.

Normally I will see myself on the mirror that provided inside the elevator to make sure I look OK. LOL
