How many of you practice your karate.

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.

…just before I step out the door when I get to my floor.

…wait?
Guys, it’s like, 30 seconds. Stop, breath.

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 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.
- Specific_Skunk ( @Specific_Skunk@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
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.
- dirkgentle ( @dirkgentle@lemmy.ca ) 1•1 year ago
What if they have cameras at the stairs?
- Specific_Skunk ( @Specific_Skunk@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Some places do but there’s not much I can do about that. I mean, have you seen the world lately? Cameras are everywhere. I may not like it but it’s a fact of life. But I’d rather have a camera on me in a stairway I’m passing through than have someone mentally assault me with forced small talk while trapped in an elevator with them.
Honestly I stare at most cameras. It’s creepy af to be constantly surveilled so I guess the best I can do is try to creep out the watchers too once in a while. Though AI and facial recognition are slowly stealing this small joy from me as well. :/

I reenact that scene from Captain America
- Superfly Samurai ( @superfly_samurai@lemmy.one ) 4•1 year ago
Karate? No.
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 watch too many movies.

Check my appearance in the mirror.
- Cambionn ( @cambionn@feddit.nl ) 3•1 year ago
Looking at my phone to brainlessly scroll, just to realise I don’t have signal because I’m in an elevator.
- Stanislav N. aka pztrn ( @pztrn@bin.pztrn.online ) English3•1 year ago
Getting my phone out of pocket and continue reading that great finction.
- SuperSpruce ( @SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Turn the music from my phone speakers to near full blast if not wearing headphones. And maybe dance to it.
- s0m3oNe ( @s0m3_one@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•1 year ago
Nervously stare at my cellphone signal while I play out an entire scenario of being stuck in the elevator by myself for hours.

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