Elevator? Going... down?

[podling]

The buildings that I work in are respectively, 16 and 66 floors high. There are a lot of elevators, and I've used them all. I get the "going up/down?" question a lot. And yet, I get an odd urge to laugh whenever someone says "going down?" to me (especially when they're attractive business attired guys, as just happened). I think it was the video for 'love in an elevator' by aerosmith that did this to me...

Next time an attractive business attired guy asks that, stare at him a second then ask "was that a question or a request?"

Heh, but only if you're getting off at the next floor (as opposed to getting off in the elevator *grin*).

I think you should just answer, "sure" with an open-invitation smile. Leave it "subtle".

Or better yet, "sure, after you."

Our elevator in the library talks. "Floor two, going up." And I still have to suppress the urge to giggle every time it says "Going down."

I do that! Worse, I have been known to WHISTLE the song while, um, going down. And then I smirk, wondering how many people have heard me and caught on.

Actually, that's happened to me. Don't ask. ;)
