Love In An Elevator??

I know exactly what you mean about looking at the floor - and I love the photo you have put with this!

You should find a way to have fun on the elevator. Like when you first get on, and as soon as the door closes, look at everyone and say, "Now that I have your attention, let me tell you..." and then start talking about something completely off the wall. Or, as soon as the door opens when you reach your floor, and as your stepping out of the elevator, wave your hand back and forth in front of your nose and say "Wow, I'm glad I don't have to smell that anymore! Someone needs to check their underwear!" and then walk away!

I got stuck in an elevator once (we call them lifts over here) and I ended up sharing my lunch with a stranger.

That is why I don't like taking them! Creepy

You can't catch someone's eye in an elevator! It's just not in the rules! You'll be expecting to talk to people next! Are you mad??

it is said that "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"

They are all a bunch of strangers. How else do you expect them to behave

I really like the picture you chose. Yes it is awkward on a elevator unless it is a glass one where you can look at the people below and around. Try saying, "have you every been in one that got stuck" for interesting reactions?

lol well if it was me I would have smiled at you and maybe even spoke, my husband says I talk to everyone I meet.

You are so right....people do glance at the floor now that you mention it

Well, guys mostly feel awkward looing at a beautiful girl in an elevator!! Cuz you can easily catch the guys staring !!! LOL

I'm guilty of looking down at the floor in elevators. It's because I'm shy.

In my opinion, people are uncomfortable with eye contact with strangers. This said, Make it anonymous with sunglasses then try again.

I guess it has to do with personal space or something along that line. Something primal. Closed in space, feeling trapped together with someone you don't no. Personally I always take the stairs if pos.

I always pass the time of day and normally get them talking.

I do not go into elevators I have a fear of enclosed spaces.

heheheh, I think the closeness of the bodies deter a glance at the riders or others pray so the elevator won't stuck up hehehe..

Used to have an eye to eyr with the floor too

I don't know why people seem to be so unconformable in an elevator but I have noticed it myself. I love the photo. I am a huge Aerosmith fan.

It is because people tend to guard themselves from external influences or threats. We have four parts of our psychological space. Intimate, personal, Social and public space. And in elevators our intimate space gets replaced by unkown people which is actually meant for close freinds or family. Even people tend to stand in corner more than at the center of elevators. Funny right?
