National Talk In An Elevator Day – No more awkward silence in an elevator. Here is a day to embrace talking in an elevator. #TalkInAnElevatorDay

National Talk In An Elevator Day

A fun thing to do in a crowded elevator is holler a number that is not on the elevator and the person by the floor buttons will search for that number.

Don’t forget the conversation may have its ups and downs! (Bad pun!)

Duck, Duck, PIN!

That conversation in the elevator might be better than that elevator music playing. Besides you just might make someones take acknowledging them.

Talking is a good way to open up a conversion or even share the gospel! However, just keep in mind you usually only have a short amount of time for talking in an elevator depending on the number of people inside, number of floors and stops it makes. Keep it brief and to the point. Old saying K-I-S-S (Keep It Simple Stupid) or even Less is More a good rule of thumb.

Don’t be like Buddy the Elf on Elf and light up all the floors on a elevator with many floors like the Empire State Building or another sky scrapper. No one will be happy with stopping on every floor! Just saying!

This day is held annually on the last Friday of July.
