We've all been there, we've all done it. "It" being any number of awkward actions that have happened in the elevator. Let's be honest - not all elevator rides are filled with the glamour of hot make out sessions like Grey's Anatomy portrays them to be. Although if you're interested, let me know. I have 62 long flights that I go up and down every morning and night for work.
Some Don'ts:
Farting/Burping: Now I'm a lady, so I wasn't even sure if I should broach this topic being as though I'm sure the Tiffany Blue Book of Etiquette would find it intolerable, however today I'm throwing the book out. But I'm also going to leave it at that. Just don't do it.
Work Gossip: Clearly it's just unsafe. There used to be seven floors chalk full of law firm below my company. I've heard a few snippets of "this lawyer hooked up with that lawyer" and "Oh no she didn'ts." Not that I don't think all's fair in love and fraternizing but come on - you're lawyers, be smart enough to keep it on the DL.
The Awkward Hide: Maybe I'm the only one who does this - it's a great move for midgets but jolly green giants watch out, it's not for you. When you are too tired/hungover/angry to talk to a coworker in the elevator, don't stand right next to them and look straight ahead. Hide in the opposite corner and stare at the captivate tv screen!
So there you have it. My top elevator don'ts. What are yours Gigglers? Any good stories to share?

I totally agree about nixing work talk in the elevator, especially if others are present. I do recommend breaking out into dance if you're alone in the car. Give security something to smile about.
I totally dance in the elevator when I'm the only one on it. I like to think that security has a nice little chuckle about it. When it's the end of the day and you slap that mp3 player on, it's go time.
