I was rooting for someone to get on at that floor and alert him to existence of the door behind him.

If it weren't for white-hat guy, first-guy might still be stuck there.

Of course, you and I might be on the next ride down headed to Hades for laughing at the poor guy.

the light level would change every time they opened and closed. Even if faked, it still made me laugh to beat the band 🤣

ever by Thelma Todd and ZaSu Pitts. I forget the name of the short but the girls are desperate for money and so they try a gig where they're selling subscriptions for magazines or something as I recall.

First time I rode one, I was like, "Oh..."

You never know who might be sharing the ride nor what condition they may be in. If I ever find myself wheeled on a gurney into one of those multipurpose elevators, I’ll pull the sheet over my face and wait until everyone thinks they’re in the company of a dead guy , After a couple of floors pass, I’ll sit bolt upright suddenly. Then I’ll get cold-cocked by a burly orderly and assume a dead guy position once more. It’ll be hilarious. It couldn’t happen anyway, especially the ‘sitting bolt upright suddenly’ part.
