Shocking Images of What People Get Up to in Elevators

Published on March 15, 2021
There’s no doubt that music from elevators doesn’t speed up the time it takes to reach your desired floor in a building. This means that many people decide to get up to nonsense when they’re waiting impatiently. You might patiently tap your feet to the tunes playing through the speakers, but others do crazier things. However, not many know that these actions are being recorded with the help of elevator cameras. For this reason, there are plenty of images capturing the wild things people get up to in elevators. Here are some of the crazy things people have done in elevators.
