Say goodbye to the typical awkward silence when riding a lift and start striking up a conversation with your fellow passengers! On July 26th, lift passengers were challenged to start talking to those around them on the ride, and for those who weren’t sure where to start, industry experts shared some suggestions.

KONE published a video with some lift puns to start the conversation and make your fellow passengers giggle, such as:

• “The weather has been rainy all week. It’s really starting to push my buttons!”

• “How has your day been so far? Mine has had its ups and downs.”

• “My kids got into an argument in the elevator this morning. They were both wrong on so many levels!”
