Utdrag ur boken:
When we're inside an elevator we feel we have to look above us at the floor numbers changing, as if it's by the force of our will that the elevator is rising. If you want to make others in the elevator feel uncomfortable, stay facing the back wall after you enter. The downside of this little gag is that you're pretty likely to miss your floor.

We always do this: we walk up to an elevator, someone's already there, they're waiting, they've pushed the button, the button is lit. We walk up and push the button, thinking, "Obviously you didn't push it correctly. I'll have to push it myself. Now the elevator will come." Then someone else walks up and they push the button again. Suddenly you're offended. You want to say, "You idiot, I pushed it, he pushed it." Then, to the original pusher, "Can you believe people?"

Or, if you go to the elevator by yourself, you push the button, you wait for the elevator to come, the elevator doesn't come. You push the button six more times. Like that's helping. As if the elevator's thinking, "Oh, a half dozen people are there now. I better hurry. I thought it was just that one woman. I was resting. Oh no, I..., I could lose my job! I could become stairs!"
