If you've got a long elevator ride part of your daily life, what do you do with your time in the elevator?

I've got a 90s elevator ride at my office, and I go up and down all the time, no signal no Wi-Fi..

Take a breath and just be. Welcome the break from excess stimuli.

update your todo list, practice bodily noises, check your calendar for upcoming birthdays, alphabetize your genitals.

If I'm alone, I usually let out whatever farts I have in store. Partially to avoid identifiably stink up the office around my coworkers, and partially as a gift to the next person taking the elevator.

What do you tell the person who comes in before your floor?

"Enjoy! :) "

I rarely travel more than a couple of floors. It's a small building, so chances of being intercepted are low. Besides, I can always pretend like nothing; Remember the famous Benjamin Franklin quote: "He who smelt it dealt it"

Wait, so it takes 90s to move two floors? I'm intrigued. Is it like a super secret underground facility?

No, just a big ass cargo elevator with a long stop time

OP has some ass cargo alright. 💨

kegel exercises

I used to play 2048... Nowadays I do sumo squats while waiting for trip to finish

That's an excellent way to spend 90 seconds multiple times a day. Your older future self will thank you.

Lay on the floor and play dead, watch other people's reactions..

Personally, I'd get lost in my mind.
I like puzzles, so how about Simon Tatham's Puzzles, website, IOS app port, Android app port
One of my daily puzzle is domino fit, but that might not be enough for the day.
