Elevator music definitely doesn’t speed up the time it takes to get to the top floor, so while you’re waiting impatiently what do you do? You might tap your feet to the repetitive music, or you might mash the button on the panel in the hopes that the elevator goes faster.
Others do crazier things. These people dance, kiss, eat, and do even wilder things when they didn’t know the elevator cams were watching.
One Word… Creepy
Credits
Sometimes an elevator at a fancy hotel will have a person in the elevator to assist you. They greet you, smile, and ask what floor you’re headed to. Not this guy though.
You’ll jump out of your skin when you see this man in the elevator, waiting for you. We’d get out on the next floor, thank you very much.
In The Name Of Love
Daily Mail
We’ll leave it up to you if you think this is a romantic gesture or sheer vandalism. We can see that this girl isn’t afraid to announce her love to anyone who steps into the elevator.
We bet everyone in her apartment block was none too pleased though. But when it’s in the name of love, what can you do?
Dance Like No One Is Watching
ABC News / YouTube
We could all do with a dance exercise to shake our stress away and loosen our muscles from time-to-time. This man certainly looks like he needed it, being a cop and all.
He probably forgot that there was a camera in the elevator. We can’t blame him for not wanting to dance in front of his police buddies.
Eat Like No One Is Watching
Delivery drivers are obligated to deliver your pizza to you hot, fresh, and not missing any pieces! Clearly, this delivery driver missed that part of the training.
Maybe he got hungry on his way up and didn’t think the patron would notice, always check your pizza, kids.
Freaky Friday
ABC News / YouTube
These police officers were excited to go have a few at the bar after a long work week. But no one expected them to break into a dance that could rival a Hollywood musical.
The cops could barely contain their excitement as they walked into the elevator.
Kiss And Make Up
Credits
This couple certainly hasn’t let their spark die out just yet. Maybe they just had a fight or haven’t seen each other in months.
Whatever it is, we’re just glad we aren’t third-wheeling in the elevator…
A Secret Note
Credits
We can see that at least the women can control herself, she stops the man and gives him a note.
Whatever the note said, the man seemed pretty happy about it.
Free The Pup
Credits
These days, a lot of businesses are alright with people taking their dogs in, but this woman would learn her lesson.
The leash got stuck in the elevator and the pup nearly met a gruesome demise. Thankfully a man with quick reactions saved the day and the dog.
Elevator Of Terror
Credits
Imagine you get into the elevator and press the button for your floor only to have the elevator start getting faster, and faster, and faster. Then the elevator shakes and the power cuts.
You would definitely feel a bit of panic. Then you notice you’re on the top floor. But thankfully this was just a staged prank.
Blocking Your Exit
Imagine getting stuck in an elevator for 2 hours. It would be a long and grueling experience, right? Well, what about if when the door finally opens, you see a concrete wall blocking your exit. That’d freak you out even more.
Well, one of the guys trapped in the elevator, decided to act fast, and within minutes he punched a hole in the wall so he could climb through. This daredevil clearly had no fears as he squeezed himself into the hole. Thankfully, he managed to get out and get help.
Falling Down
Daily Mail
Imagine setting foot in the elevator, pressing the button, and waiting to go up. Then suddenly, the floor disappears and you plummet into a black hole. Scary, right? Thankfully this was just a prank by a media company in Japan.
With this outrageous prank, after falling through the floor, you then get covered in slime and ride a slide down to a soft landing. Not so scary after all. In fact, it sounds kind of fun!
Bizarre
Credits
In this footage, we see a man and a woman alone in an elevator. When the elevator reaches its floor and the doors open, the woman follows the man out.
What is strange about this footage is that she reappears a few minutes later and gets back into the elevator…
Dry Your Eyes
Credits
We’re not sure why the woman is upset but she’s sure not afraid to show it. She begins to cry as she re-enters the elevator, alone.
Maybe he had to go to work? Or maybe he was her boyfriend and was leaving her? Either way, this woman was crying from floor 1 – 25, and that’s a lot of tears!
Officially Trapped
Credits
After stepping out of the office on a Friday evening for some fresh air, this guy pressed a button in the elevator and waited to be taken downstairs. But then suddenly he realized it was stuck; none of the buttons were working. He reached for his phone to call for help, but then he realized his phone was back in his office. He was officially trapped.
41 hours later and this guy had been trapped in the elevator and going out of his mind. He didn’t even have any food or drink, so things weren’t looking too good. Thankfully, when the following week arrived, this guy was safely rescued. That’ll teach him to leave without his phone!
5 Second Rule
Credits
This guy here walks into the elevator chewing away on his favorite bubblegum. As he passes each floor, he chews louder then blows a bubble. But just as he blows his bubble, the elevator doors open and the gum pops, landing on the floor.
As quick as a flash, this man picks the gum off the floor and chucks it straight back into his mouth!
Don’t Mess With Her
Viral / YouTube
When we get into an elevator with a stranger we expect them to be cool, calm, and collected. What we don’t expect is for them to act like a complete child by playing with the doors and pressing all the buttons.
The woman, who was unfortunately stuck in an elevator with a childish man, decided to teach him a lesson; by going into full-on karate mode and body slamming the guy on the floor! This woman is not to be messed with!
Feisty
Credits
Here’s another woman who doesn’t take too kindly to elevator pranksters. The man in the footage gets on and then proceeds to kick his leg out every time the doors begin to close — setting off the motion sensors and preventing the elevator from moving.
The woman watches him for a minute or so, not amused at all. Then, she decides she’s had enough of his pranks and snaps, pushing him straight out of the elevator.
Personal Space Invader
Credits
Imagine if the person you’re sharing an elevator with felt an uncontrollable urge to do stretching exercises a few inches from your face.
The rude woman stretches her leg at a 90-degree angle, almost brushing the other woman’s face with her sneaker. You can see what this woman is thinking — she can’t wait to get off.
Busting Moves
Credits
This man really took the line “dance like no-one’s watching” to heart. As soon as the elevator doors close, he busts his best moves in an elaborate routine that would make Michael Jackson jealous.
When the elevator reaches its destination and the doors open again, he struts out into the corridor and performs a quick moonwalk for the camera.
Couldn’t Resist
Credits
Here’s another food delivery guy who just couldn’t resist the delicious smell of the steaming food that he was meant to be delivering.
He looks around to make sure he’s alone, then furtively opens each package and has a bite of everything — he even opens one container and takes a sip of the soup!
Miscalculation
Credits
In this footage, a team of workers carefully places an enormous sheet of glass into the elevator. They even set up a small stand on the ground to support the sheet and make sure it’s not damaged.
Unfortunately, they made a massive miscalculation: the sheet of glass is too long to fit inside the elevator. The doors close and the glass is pulled upward as the elevator descends to a lower floor. Then, it shatters. Come on guys… you had one job!
Impatient
Credits
This little boy walks into the elevator, keeping his hand in front of the motion sensor as he waits for his dad to get in after him. Then, he had a “good” idea. The boy sticks his umbrella’s handle through the doors, hoping that the sensor will pick it up and keep the doors open.
But boy, was he wrong. The elevator shuts on the umbrella and derails. The boy was trapped inside for hours until a crew managed to pry the doors open and get him out safely.
Dancing Storm Troopers
Credits
This man was in an elevator, minding his own business and speaking on his phone when this crew waltzed in, complete with a man dressed as Darth Vader.
They all begin to dance wildly in the packed elevator as the man on the phone looks confused and slightly frightened.
Happy Lady
Credits
We wonder what has just happened in this woman’s life to elicit such a happy expression. Her arms are bent at the elbows, and her hands are in clenched into fists in the universal signal for “victory.”
Maybe she just got that big promotion she’s been waiting for. Maybe she’s just happy that there’s no-one else in the elevator for once.
Sub Zero
Credits
This unsuspecting woman is about to walk right into a scene from Mortal Kombat. But why is this guy dressed as Sub Zero, you may ask? We have no idea.
Maybe he was bored, or maybe it was a misguided attempt to break the ice with a woman he’s been wanting to speak to. Hopefully, she knows who Sub Zero is and doesn’t run away screaming.
Falling Elevator
Credits
This video is from a rather nasty prank that was set up by some pranksters in the building for some candid footage for their YouTube channel.
The victim enters, and then the elevator lurches downward in freefall for four stories, before it grinds gently to a halt. We’re sure this guy was not amused.
Third Wheel
Credits
This was an elaborate prank set up by some guys for their YouTube channel. The two actors in the elevator kiss and try to make the other people with them feel as awkward as possible.
Although rather distasteful, the candid footage they got of the bystanders squirming and trying not to look is priceless.
“Are You Okay?”
Credits
This strange footage was caught in an elevator in an office block. This guy was obviously having a very bad day. Maybe he just got laid off? Maybe he has a migraine?
The older gentleman asks him if he is alright, but the guy doesn’t reply. The man in the dress shirt leaves, looking perturbed and very bewildered.
Proposal
Credits
This group of naughty kids is playing in the elevator in their apartment block. The two boys gleefully sneak in, accompanied by a little girl. What happens next melts hearts.
The boy in the grey sweater kneels down on one knee, takes a plastic ring out of his pocket, and proposes to the little girl in pink, who shyly backs into a corner.
Sticky Situation
Credits
These two women walk into the elevator, and the woman with red hair looks straight into the camera. She seems annoyed that it’s there.
Then, just as the doors open, she removes a wad of gum from her mouth and sticks it right on the CCTV camera’s lens. Guess this woman values her privacy?
Puurr-fect
Credits
This fearless kitty lives in an apartment block in China. According to her owner, every morning she opens the door of her apartment and lets herself out for a walkabout.
Then, she waits for the elevator to arrive and walks in. She loves to ride the elevator, and everyone in the building makes sure she gets off safely.
Trapped With Bees
Credits
This footage was captured in an elevator in Mexico. Notice how the guy in blue is trying to stand as far back as he can? That’s because the man in white is a beekeeper, and he’s holding three boxes of angry bees.
It turns out this was a prank to get a laugh out of the reactions of other people in the elevator.
Elevator Full Of Robbers
Credits
This guy is having a very bad day. He was just minding his own business when suddenly a group of six masked men barged into the elevator at the last second.
But don’t worry, this was all a prank concocted by the man’s friends to give him the scare of his life.
Get Down And Boogy
Credits
This woman probably neglected to notice the security camera in the elevator… or maybe she just didn’t care who was watching. As soon as she got in, she had an uncontrollable urge to boogy.
She twerks, sways, and bounces all by herself, then when the doors open, she quickly snaps out of it — as if in never happened.
More Dancing
Credits
This woman also couldn’t control the urge to dance — she’d give Beyonce a run for her money.
She slides down, using the elevator handrail for support as she busts some impressive moves, jerking her head from side-to-side to music only she can hear. This video must have brightened the security team’s day.
Shoe Gone Awry
Credits
This poor woman strode out of the elevator in her power-suit as if nothing could stand in her way. Unfortunately, her high-heel shoe got trapped in the gap between the elevator and the wall as she exited, sending her flying.
With an embarrassed look on her face, she scrabbles to dislodge her shoe before the elevator doors close. Whew. At least nobody saw that, right?
Nope
Credits
This woman was patiently waiting for the elevator, but when to finally arrived, her face fell. The elevator was packed with a mobile disco, mirrorball, dancing guests, and music included.
But, instead of laughing, she simply walked away and up the stairs. Some people are so hard to please.
Strange Man
Credits
In the footage, two men enter the elevator and stand in awkward silence as they wait to reach their respective floors.
Suddenly, the younger man begins to move wildly, as if he’s doing The Robot to music that only he can hear. The older gent looks on disapprovingly but doesn’t say a word before getting off.
