Elevator habit

[nworbsirhc]

When I'm in the elevator with other people, I often find myself thinking of how I would kill them if they were to attack me in the elevator. I know some may consider killing to be 'harsh', but when it comes to self defense, that should be your goal. Maybe I'll write about how I came to that conclusion one day.

So, anyone else do this?

I didn't, but now you've started to spread the meme...

In an elevator? Nah.

Now while standing at a urinal...sure.

standing at a urinal

If I were to ever use a urinal again, I'd be more worried about avoiding conversation than attacks. In fact, if I had a choice between being mugged at a urinal and being forced into a conversation with another man holding his dick, I'd happily take the mugging. At least you can turn around and piss on the guy trying to mug you.

Only at an elevator?

Any confined space with a number of people kicks these thoughts off, especially lines. If I'm in line for anything, I'm constantly sizing up people and figuring out weaknesses.

When I'm shuffling in and out of an arena or stadium after an event, I've found that I automatically and subconsciously throw my keys through the fingers of my fist.

I thought that it was a result of my claustrophobia, interesting to see others do it too.

I thought mine was a result of being a psychopath...

I'd only use keys as a last resort. I much prefer pens or sharpened pencils. keys are too short and they may get bent if you miss with your swing. Having blood and eye matter on the side of my car after I opened the door would annoy me too.

I don't take a Bic to the hockey game.

Have you ever actually been attacked in an elevator?

Depending on who is in the elevator with me, I have thoughts that range from the hostile (typically aimed at yakkers or cell phone talkers) to the amusing (e.g. Jim Carrey Liar Liar-type honesty) to the random (seeing how many things I can memorize about a person during an elevator ride). Of course, in the rare event that Aiko Tanaka is riding in an elevator with me, well, let's just say that the thoughts trend towards the lewd.

Ronsrants, you're a freak with what appears to be a serious case of penis envy.

Wow, that's weird. I got there by googling "elevator attacks" and clicking on the first link underneath the obviously-irrelevant YouTube links -- I'm no member of stratfor or, to my knowledge, any related entity.

Try it that way and see if you get through.

In a related point, I have ridden the elevator six times (three up three down) since my response to nworbsirhC's post here, and I found myself thinking how to kill all the people I saw on every trip.

This psychopathy, like obesity, appears to be contagious. I'm clearly inexperienced at this, though -- I had no answer for the beefy, attentive, athletic-looking guy on trip five. I think he could outrun me, too.

Ah, that worked. Often registration links ignore the fact that you aren't registered depending on the referring web site.
