    Absolutely nothing, because I wouldn’t want a stranger to talk to me in an elevator and I was raised to do unto others.

      I feel awkward being in public without interaction. It’s like my brain goes into overdrive, trying to predict a sudden interaction incoming like a quick time event

      I’d comment on something slightly more relevant than the weather, because the conversation can then fade to comfortable silence (for me at least) knowing no more conversation is likely, or I’d do what I always do when someone engages - everyone has something interesting about them, I’ll throw the conversation in random directions until I find a topic worth speaking about

    Considering it’s only 8 seconds this must be the fastest fucking elevator ever so I’m probably screaming

    I make brief eye contact, purse my lips to form a half-smile, and nod my head downward. Then i move to an open corner of the elevator, i pull my phone out, and i end my turn.

      The elevator stops at the next floor and a Chadbro™ enters. He does not notice you, and does not press any buttons on the elevator. He sniffs his pits before posting his hand on the wall beside the woman and whispers something in her ear. Her face changes to disgust and she darts a pleading glance in your direction, silently asking for help.

          Please understand how small an elevator is, and how big fireball is. Your party is begging you.

        I smile casually then turn slightly away from them before sitting down crossed legs facing away, trying to focus on my romantic web comics.

    Lady in red. It’s a simulation, no experiment is going to show anything worthwhile.

    “Look again.”

    looks

    “Fuck, I wish you’d stop doing that, Morpheus.”

    Second 1: introduce myself

    Second 2: Andrew Tate pose

    Second 3: obtain phone number

    Second 4: go on date

    Second 5: head home with them

    Second 6: get touchy

    Second 7: undress

    Second 8: get off at my floor because I already came at second 1.

    Well, considering the only elevator I take is to a secure area, I’d ask to see your visitor’s badge and inform you civilians aren’t allowed here unescorted.

      I got a gift card from the airport for challenging the “secret shopper” once. Apparently had walked past four actual employees before I challenged him. I was on my way to the jobsite.

      Why do you assume she doesn’t have clearance?

          And if she’s holding it in her hand to put on? I just can’t imagine dresses being prohibited in secure areas.

            Then she’s going to keep getting challenged by security until she clips the damn badge on the damn dress.

    Absolutely nothing because people who have elevator conversations are not worth talking to.

      Hey. Some of my best conversations have taken place in an elevator.

      But yeah, I’m not worth talking to

    Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because… Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. “Paku Paku” means “flap your mouth”, and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like…

    I wouldn’t say anything because some women find elevator pickup attempts intimidating.

      Tbf women say they find just interacting with men at all intimidating, see: Bears. I just don’t talk to anyone anymore tbh.

      I’m gonna die alone with my cats, but at least I won’t be called creepy for asking a woman out for coffee!
