Elevator Escapades

I want to create a new TV show along the lines of Taxicab Confessions.  It will deal solely with elevators and all that transpires on them.  Of course, that lends itself to many titillating possibilities but the first few episodes will focus solely on mundane stories drawn from real life.  For instance, one story line will focus entirely on people rushing on and off elevators and the situations this sometimes creates.  Like yesterday, around 5:00 pm I was headed back to the 10th floor at ACME when the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.  A man was in such a rush to get home that he ran into the elevator without even checking to see if it was going down.  It, of course, was not.  But he did not want to admit his error even though he knew I knew and I knew he knew I knew.  So he did not push any button.  He just stood there and waited until I got off on 10.  This episode will explore not only the surface humor of such an incident but delve into possible motivations for this guy not admitting his mistake and why people rush onto elevators without looking to see which way it is headed or whether people have fully gotten off (some never even wait for people to get off).

Another episode will focus on the many natural and artificial elements that make it onto an elevator.  For instance, last night when I got on to leave, I saw two q-tips on the floor of the elevator.  I did not check to see if they were used, but I did wonder how q-tips, of all things, would be on the floor of an elevator.  So this episode would be a sort of a CSI-Denver, but the crime technicians would be elevator technicians investigating the appearance of the q-tips and what the q-tips contained.
