I've realized something very scary. I haven't used an elevator in over 8 months. And then I realized something even more scary. You guys probably use elevators way less than I do. Due to buildings here being in average a lot shorter than in the city (duh).
But Elevators are FUN!! So for the next time you get to use one, here's a first hand urban survival technique:
How to annoy people in elevators.
1. When you enter the elevator: run in, press buttons frantically and look panicked around as if to check that whoever is after you doesn't get in.2. Make faces at the mirror.
3. Stare at somebody in the mirror, in a really obvious way.
4. Stand in a corner, facing the wall. Make no movements or sounds.
5. Pretend to be claustrophobic. Very claustrophobic.
6. After somebody enters, start sniffing around like you're smelling something bad.
7. From time to time, look into your bag. Whisper in it "Still enough air in there?"
8. Have a very loud, fake cellphone conversation.
9. Behave as if the elevator was a boat in a storm.
10. Welcome everybody who gets on with a cheerful" Bon Jour! Welcome on board" Optionally, you can add a "Thank you for traveling with us. We hope you enjoyed your journey." whenever somebody leaves (if you follow the instructions thoroughly, there will be a lot who leave)
Many of these also apply for using subways.
Love, Sophie
