Annoying people in a lift? Why on earth would anybody bother to do that if by just saying ‘lift’ you already annoy the entire American population?!Well, if you are a pre-teen girl this seems to be one of the ‘must-know-how-to-do’ things high on your priority list, right next to ‘how to make your own lip-gloss’ and ‘how to make a candle’. This is according to “The Girls’ Book” that my daughter is currently reading.
So, it got me thinking ... if I really wanted to annoy people in a lift (a.k.a. elevator) I would jump in, press all the buttons and jump out of the lift before the passengers realize that they will be stopping at every single floor on their way to their destination.
But no, this is a pre-teen cute girly book, remember? So instead of depicting acts of mid-age cruelty it actually includes some really funny ideas on how to be annoying to others in a lift, such as:
- Say ‘ding’ at each floor
- Suggest that you all join in a sing-along
- Salute and say ‘welcome aboard’ every time someone gets into the lift
and my favorite
- Open your bag and, while peeing inside, ask “Got enough air in there?!”
I might try one of these at work tomorrow.
Or maybe I should just act my age and try that lip-gloss recipe instead.
