Yeah, most of the elevators I encounter are at hotels while traveling, so it’s usually the first place I have a moment to breathe after going non-stop for hours and hours. I’m not practicing karate, I’m trying not to collapse from exhaustion.
I do let my imagination play out an action/fight scene that will occur when the elevator "dings" and the doors open. Often with an action based song playing in my head.
I look around for cameras and if I find one, I stare at it for the whole ride. No one really watches those things unless something is being investigated so on the rare chance someone sees it, I’ll just be an oddity in a much more interesting tale.
Usually I just take the stairs though. I hate surveillance.

I like to wave and blow a kiss to the security camera just in case someone is looking at it so they know I appreciate them

I do this with every security camera! 😂 Often it's more just making a silly face in the hope that someone is watching and has a giggle...

Transform back to my original form, it's tiring to keep this human appearance.

I worked at a security job before. People do funny stuff when they're alone in an elevator lol.

*kzzzt* Could you please stop jumping around in the elevator, you're triggering the gravity sensors and causing alarms. Thank you. *kzzzt*

I reenact that scene from Captain America

I like to take a step in, press my floor button and not turn around. Facing the back of the elevator even if someone else gets on.

Karate? No.

I watch too many movies.

Turn the music from my phone speakers to near full blast if not wearing headphones. And maybe dance to it.

Looking at my phone to brainlessly scroll, just to realise I don't have signal because I'm in an elevator.

I stand real close to the doors and agitate until I'm allowed out

I stare at myself in the mirrored surface. I presume there are cameras, so I don't weird out in there 😬
Jakylla@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y
I think about why I didn't went by the stairs again and again (I like stairs, that's my sport of the day)

if no one is entering the empty elevator when I exit, I mash all the buttons.

Nervously stare at my cellphone signal while I play out an entire scenario of being stuck in the elevator by myself for hours.
