Uncomfortable Elevator Moment	comment	(For the proper reading experience, play the music from this video while reading this page.) In several European cultures, there is an unspoken code of behavior that applies inside elevators, and also sometimes on trains and other modes of public transportation: when someone enters an elevator, the custom is to face the front and stand in silence whilst absentmindedly watching the floor numbers change. If there is any conversation, it amounts only to small talk. An individual who breaks with this custom, for example facing the other passengers, is often a source of considerable unease to the other individuals in the elevator with you. The protocol does vary a lot between cultures, even between neighboring countries; for example, the UK has the elevator protocol, while almost none of Europe does. Depending on where you are, you might be expected to greet the other people in the elevator and/or make light conversation, or to completely ignore them. This is apparently a part of basic animal behavior, too: primates in small enclosed spaces instinctively avoid drawing attention to themselves. The cultural differences in elevator protocol reflect differences in what behaviour is inconspicuous. And yes, primates — monkeys go quiet too, but rats tend to fight. Particularly in visual fiction, the Western "protocol" is often milked to generate ironic, uncomfortable silences from characters inside the elevator, when some other reaction might well be expected or justified. In short: an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment. Uncomfortable Elevator Moments traditionally take place inside The Elevator from Ipanema. The elevator "music" itself often forms part of the humor and/or tension in the scene, but will get cut off abruptly when the scene ends. It can also take the form of a Mid-Battle Tea Break in a fight. For added discomfort, cue the fart, with an elevator filled with many, many people. If it becomes overly long, it may overlap with Leave the Camera Running.

They don't say anything to her, but she knows exactly what's on their mind (and almost every lewd detail within, since she can read their thoughts). She manages to get away from the situation when the elevator arrives at her floor when a young boy in the elevator thinks to himself, "I'd put a hurtin' on that bitch!"

Johanna (played with Boisterous Bruiser gusto) enters the elevator, compliments District 12's clothes while complaining about her own, starts stripping while asking Peeta to zip her down, and the duo's mentor Haymitch is on the scene as well to get impressed by her. That being said, only Katniss finds it uncomfortable. Peeta and Haymitch seem to enjoy it.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_20409a0a	comment	The Defenders: Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Danny Rand have just found themselves under attack when their separate investigations into the Hand lead to them all converging on Midland Circle Financial at the same time. After fighting off Elektra and a bunch of Alexandra's henchmen in the corridors, they manage to all make it to the elevator to escape. This leads to the elevator teaser, where Matt, Luke and Danny are all catching their breath, while Jessica looks around and quickly smashes the security camera in the ceiling to protect Matt's identity. A non-elevator variant: later on, Matt, Luke and Jessica are riding the subway to get back to Midland Circle. Jessica grabs a passed out homeless guy's beer and chugs the entire thing down in one gulp while Matt, Luke, and the other passengers on the train give her silent looks of confused amusement.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_33fdae4d	comment	These are sometimes used as office-sexism-scene-setting moments on Mad Men. In one of them, Don is on the elevator with a couple of younger guys who start talking in fairly graphic detail about a sexual conquest. The elevator stops and an older woman, presumably a secretary, gets on... and the guys don't stop. Don, ever the Chivalrous Pervert, gives them a few sideways glares and finally intervenes by telling the one guy to take his hat off, before reaching over and physically removing it for him, with the obvious overtone of "pay attention to your surroundings, you little prick." Bizarrely subverted by the scene in which Pete Campbell goes about expressing what he (in his upper-crust WASPy ignorance) thinks are more or less enlightened views on race to the elevator operator (who is of course black in this Politically Incorrect History) while actually having rather condescending Unfortunate Implications. Neither he nor most white people—including a lot of white supporters of civil rights—would have recognized it at the time, but the viewers at home were certainly meant to be wincing at least as much as the operator.

If the target they want to attack is on a different floor, they will wait for the elevator, step on it, wait for it to get to the top/bottom and then continue chasing their target. If another player, who they don't like, is also on the elevator they will simply ignore them unless their primary target leaves the dungeon, in which case they will punch your face in.

Another man then enters, and depending on which version of the film you're watching, one of two scenes ensues: In the theatrical release, small talk follows, culminating in the man making some observations about the way the suit tends to ride up, since the man assumes Peter is just a guy in a Spider-Man costume. In the extended cut, the man is a public relations spokesperson, realizes this is the real-deal Spider-Man, and starts suggesting ways he could improve his public image.

After fighting off Elektra and a bunch of Alexandra's henchmen in the corridors, they manage to all make it to the elevator to escape. This leads to the elevator teaser, where Matt, Luke and Danny are all catching their breath, while Jessica looks around and quickly smashes the security camera in the ceiling to protect Matt's identity. A non-elevator variant: later on, Matt, Luke and Jessica are riding the subway to get back to Midland Circle. Jessica grabs a passed out homeless guy's beer and chugs the entire thing down in one gulp while Matt, Luke, and the other passengers on the train give her silent looks of confused amusement. Hawkeye: Kate gets in the elevator to try and stop Yelena, who's been hired to kill Kate's partner/mentor Clint. Yelena doesn't want to hurt Kate and Kate isn't skilled enough to even be a threat to Yelena, so they end up with a "fight" that consists of awkwardly standing and occasionally slapping at each other. Loki: In season 2 episode "Ouroboros", Loki keeps time-slipping, which to onlookers is rather gruesome-looking. Loki and Mobius are having a discussion about the phenomenon in an elevator, and Mobius seeks a second opinion from the third occupant. Pan to a horrified woman in the corner.

McClane gets into an elevator to go down to the Federal Reserve's vault with three security guards and Detective "Otto", and just at the point where uncomfortable silence begins, McClane catches a reflection of Otto's badge and the number "6991", allowing him to suddenly deduce that Otto killed NYPD detective Ricky Walsh and stole his badge, and he's surrounded by a group of Simon's men. Also, he notices that one of them accidentally calls the elevator a "lift". The answer: McClane makes some petty small talk about the lottery, and then when he says he's got the "tickets", a gunfight ensues that ends with Otto getting his head blown off.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_805012bf	comment	London's Burning: In one episode, Blue Watch have to rescue a man from being stuck in the middle of one of these after the elevator stops working, trapping him with two of his neighbours who really don't get along. By the time the firefighters have got the doors open and can pull him out said neighbours have gone from passive-aggressively sniping at one another to a full-blown Cat Fight. On another occasion it's most of Blue Watch themselves who get stuck in a malfunctioning lift, which they were using to get to the top floor to assist someone who's trapped in the other one, and are left making awkward small-talk while waiting for a backup crew to get them out of this embarrassing predicament. And Kevin being increasingly desperate for the bathroom doesn't help.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: Voyager: After an Aliens Made Them Do It episode "Blood Fever" (which fortunately was not consummated), the officers concerned (Half-Human Hybrid B'Elanna Torres and Handsome Lech Tom Paris) run into each other in the turbolift. Awkward small talk ensues, until an annoyed Tom stops the lift to give a heartfelt speech on how they have to face up to what happened... plus he wasn't that scared by seeing her aggressive Klingon side, and wouldn't mind seeing more of it some day. They go the rest of the way in silence, but as B'Elanna exits at her floor, she says, "Be careful what you wish for, Lieutenant." In "Waking Moments", all of the crew have had strange nightmares which end with a strange alien watching them. After waking up they all share their dreams, but Tuvok is notably reluctant to share as his dream, shown at the beginning of the episode, was that he went to the bridge, only to realize when the entire crew begin to laugh hysterically that he had neglected to put on any form of clothing. Janeway takes a turbolift with Tuvok and takes the opportunity to investigate further. Clearly uncomfortable, Tuvok admits he dreamed he was in the turbolift and the alien seemed to be "scrutinizing his appearance" before following him back to his quarters. His short, evasive answers seem to pique Janeway's interest further. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: There's such a moment in "Trials and Tribble-ations". Time-travelers Bashir and O'Brien try to take a turbolift in TOS's Enterprise, but them being unused to 23rd century technology, it doesn't react to their verbal commands. They're about to open a panel and start tampering with the mechanism when a woman steps in and starts the turbolift properly, by holding one of the handles before giving her command. Bashir then whispers to O'Brien, "I won't tell anyone if you won't." Subverted in "The Dogs of War". When Ezri and Bashir have decided they should be Just Friends, they discuss how awkward the ride would be if they hadn't discussed their feelings, with a lot of staring at the feet and awkward mumbling, but now that they'd decided not to act on those feelings, they should be fine. By the time they reach Ops, they're making out. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Lessons", Captain Picard finds himself Duet Bonding with a female officer Nella Daren. The relationship turns romantic, and after their first kiss they're in the turbolift discussing their love of music when someone else enters. Picard turns to the front and when Nella tries to continue the conversation, formally addresses Nella by her rank instead of her name, leaving the turbolift at the first opportunity. He apologizes for this afterwards. In "Phantasms", Deanna and Data are in the turbolift when Data hallucinates a mouth on Deanna's shoulder and stabs it. A really uncomfortable moment occurs in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Crossing" when Malcolm Reed is possessed by an alien wisp. While he's riding a turbolift with a female Red Shirt, he comments in a creepy voice about how she's a female and he's a male. She wastes little time in de-boarding when the door opens. The Star Trek: Discovery episode "Brother" has several people board an elevator which already has a Saurian with a cold — who then sneezes on one of them. The Short Treks mini-episode "Q & A" is almost entirely made of this, when Ensign Newbie Spock gets trapped in a turbolift with Number One. Lampshaded near the beginning:

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_8d81bb26	comment	NCIS: Gibbs holds a lot of private conversations in the elevator, often hitting the emergency stop switch in order to better use it as an impromptu private conference room. Needless to say, many of these little conferences get distinctly uncomfortable. You'd think building security would, at some point, tell Gibbs to stop setting off alarms just so he can talk to people, but if you're really thinking that, you haven't met Gibbs. Turns out Gibbs learned it from Franks. It is also a subversion; his elevator talks with Fornell are rather cordial. This is apparently a common enough behavior from Gibbs that at one point a character comments upon "finally getting to see Gibb's 'office' in person" after being waylaid for one of those elevator conversations. Despite the frequency with which he does this, at least one person is genuinely surprised, stating, "I thought that move was pure urban legend." Other characters also have their own Uncomfortable Elevator Moments. A humorous example appears in the Season 4 episode "Cover Story" with Tony and Ziva discussing their counterparts in McGee's novel: "Totally unrealistic." "Would never happen." With both of them looking hilariously awkward the entire time. Not to mention the episode where we see Ziva put a particularly irritating suspect into the elevator, the doors close... then the doors open on the next floor and he's dead. Bet that was awkward as Hell. Later, when there is a massive power outage, McGee and Ziva are stuck in the elevator all night and a good part of the morning. In the Back Door Pilot for NCIS: New Orleans, it's implied this isn't even Gibbs' trick to begin with: Pulled on Gibbs himself by several other characters â€” even a kid does this at one point â€” much to his slight amusement.

The only thing you can do is stock up on ammo, patch up wounds, and wait for the second airlock door to open. Bear in mind that there are SWAT teams on both sides of the airlock doors, so standing in the middle of a Loud heist is a strange thing to endure.

During the ride, Paul brings up this this trope by explicitly stating, "Could anything be more awkward?". The tension genuinely ratchets up when Paul asks Jamie to leave him and Doug alone, then proceeds to tell him off, finishing by asking him, "Did you think I was going to hit you?" When Doug confirms that this was indeed his fear, Paul snaps, "Good."

McClane gets into an elevator to go down to the Federal Reserve's vault with three security guards and Detective "Otto", and just at the point where uncomfortable silence begins, McClane catches a reflection of Otto's badge and the number "6991", allowing him to suddenly deduce that Otto killed NYPD detective Ricky Walsh and stole his badge, and he's surrounded by a group of Simon's men. Also, he notices that one of them accidentally calls the elevator a "lift". The answer: McClane makes some petty small talk about the lottery, and then when he says he's got the "tickets", a gunfight ensues that ends with Otto getting his head blown off.

Awkward small talk ensues, until an annoyed Tom stops the lift to give a heartfelt speech on how they have to face up to what happened... plus he wasn't that scared by seeing her aggressive Klingon side, and wouldn't mind seeing more of it some day. They go the rest of the way in silence, but as B'Elanna exits at her floor, she says, "Be careful what you wish for, Lieutenant." In "Waking Moments", all of the crew have had strange nightmares which end with a strange alien watching them. After waking up they all share their dreams, but Tuvok is notably reluctant to share as his dream, shown at the beginning of the episode, was that he went to the bridge, only to realize when the entire crew begin to laugh hysterically that he had neglected to put on any form of clothing. Janeway takes a turbolift with Tuvok and takes the opportunity to investigate further. Clearly uncomfortable, Tuvok admits he dreamed he was in the turbolift and the alien seemed to be "scrutinizing his appearance" before following him back to his quarters. His short, evasive answers seem to pique Janeway's interest further.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_f74b5f80	comment	There were so many of these scenes on Babylon 5 that some fans thought the elevator should get a screen credit. Londo and G'Kar, ambassadors of two warring alien powers, find themselves waiting for the same lift and begin trading insults in the meantime, to the great discomfort of the human extra caught in between them. They get into such a heated argument that they don't even notice that the elevator's arrived. In "Convictions", Londo decides not to share an elevator with G'Kar at all... until a nearby explosion forces Londo to jump in. The explosion disables the elevator forcing the two to spend several hours together. G'Kar is firmly opposed to acting in any way that would get them rescued, as he wants to watch Londo die, but can't actually kill him himself for fear of reprisals against his family. Awkward. Throughout the first season there were several between Talia and Garibaldi. They get more ridiculous when Talia realizes that every single time she takes the elevator, Garibaldi is already in it. Sinclair thinks that this is just a coincidence, until the elevator arrives and Garibaldi is inside. Talia takes the stairs. Sinclair joins her. There's also one where Sheridan gets on the lift with Lennier after the latter had observed the pleasure ritual between the Captain and Delenn. In a purely religious capacity, of course. The fifth season Lower-Deck Episode "A View from the Gallery" had Garibaldi and Captain Lochley having a heated plot-specific discussion about the episode's conflict, all while lowly technicians Bo and Mack quietly stand in the elevator and try to stay out from between them. G'kar and Vir share an elevator briefly in "Comes the Inquisitor", shortly after the Centauri subjugated the Narn. It starts out incredibly awkward and gets worse when Vir attempts to apologize.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_fd073ab9	comment	Mindhunter. Holden Ford and Bill Tench are given permission to establish a study of serial killers, but because their boss is afraid of the potential controversy they're allocated a storeroom in the basement beneath Behavoiural Sciences. Being a veteran agent, Bill in particular is not happy and turns to give Holden a Disapproving Look during the long elevator ride down there. The protocol of always facing forward in an elevator had been lampshaded by Holden earlier, so instead of expressing his feelings Bill just picks up his box again and faces forwards. The scene is contrasted to a later episode after their superior chews both them and Dr. Wendy Carr out for discussing their work outside the Bureau, only to reveal that as a result they've been granted over a quarter-million dollars in additional funding. They ride the elevator in silence again, but this time with smiles slowly forming on their faces.

Deadshot shows his Nerves of Steel by asking if Green Lantern could get Hawkgirl's autograph for him. Green Lantern curtly refuses and leaves (having broken up with Hawkgirl). Once she's overcome her shock, Plastique is impressed.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Lessons", Captain Picard finds himself Duet Bonding with a female officer Nella Daren. The relationship turns romantic, and after their first kiss they're in the turbolift discussing their love of music when someone else enters. Picard turns to the front and when Nella tries to continue the conversation, formally addresses Nella by her rank instead of her name, leaving the turbolift at the first opportunity. He apologizes for this afterwards. In "Phantasms", Deanna and Data are in the turbolift when Data hallucinates a mouth on Deanna's shoulder and stabs it.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment / int_ffb43795	comment	Played for drama in Cobra Kai when Daniel and Johnny wind up sharing a hospital elevator at the end of the second season. For as long as the series has run, these two cannot share the same space without sniping at each other or even outright fighting. This time, given the circumstances, they completely ignore each other, too upset and emotionally exhausted to even bother.
