Yeh……that’s what I thought too when I first heard of it. What kinda crappy disease is this, which occurs when you enter an elevator/lift? Well, it’s quite simple. Think about it once you enter an elevator full of unknown people. I’m sure you’ll figure it out in a while.
But, you know that is not gonna happen. I’m gonna spoil all the fun here. So, the elevator syndrome is the weird habit of people checking their cellphones for non-existent messages and/or some unknown entity when in the elevator. Mind you! This does not start as soon as you enter the elevator, but in a while.
And, i’m sure this is not only the only place you witness such an event happening. I can think of some other places too:
the bus stop
the subway station
in the train
in the checkout queue at any store
These are the one’s I could come up with for now.
Can you think of any other place where such a thing can be observed???
