Things to say in an elevator
When you’re riding in an elevator (or anything that has people coming and going), it’s inevitable that you’ll hear chunks of conversations between others, but that you won’t be able to join in on.
That in mind, I occasionally make use of this fact. I’ll be in an elevator with a friend (I did this a lot with an ex-girlfriend, which is one reason she’s an ex) and say one of the following.
“So, did they reattach your roommate’s arm?”
“You’re serious? They cut the whole thing off?”
“Anyway, I ended up stabbing him in the eye.”
“Yeah, her fingers were popping like grapes.”
“I thought that was the color it was supposed to be.”
You could, of course, take the low ground and say things like “Did the cream I gave you help at all?” but I think it’s more fun not to try to embarrass the other person because they’re more likely to play along.
So, any suggestions for elevator comments?
