Provided it is empty, and not stopped mid-route.
It is quite an experience to get in a lift on the ground floor, select the top floor (6th in my case), stand in the middle of the lift and whirl around as fast as your can.
I then did exactly the same thing going 6th to ground, and threw up in the office lobby.

Lying on the bed, one day I thought
"If I stand on my head while on the bed I wonder if my feet touch the ceiling?"
So I tried a few times, unfortunately the springiness of the bed meant that I fell sideways, repeatedly.
I stopped once I fell OFF the bed and gave myself a few bruises.
After a few moments thought, I realised that I was the same height whichever way up I was, so I just stood on the bed - my head didn't reach the ceiling.

Park and Ride
Ex and I were sitting in the car waiting to go through the barrier of Canterbury Park and Ride, the car in front was just pulling up to the token machine.
Unfortunately the driver had stopped too far away from the machine to get his ticket. So we giggled a bit at the arm waving forlornly out of the car, desperately grasping at thin air.
We had given him plenty of room, if he had wanted to back up and realign the car he could have done so quite easily, but he didn't.
Oh no, he got the missus to get out of the passenger's side, walk round the back of the car, get his token for him and hand it to him. The barrier raised up, presumably on a timer, he drove forwards leaving her at the token machine. - We both looked at each other thinking "She's not going to.. is she?" Yes, she did.
She walked after her husband, timing her passage under the barrier perfectly. It descended onto her head with an audible *clonk* and part of the plastic covering snapped off and fell onto the road beside her. After seeing stars for a few moments and rather embarrassed, she quickly shoved the debris to the side of the road, and then tried to work out where the hell her husband had parked the car as he had completely buggered off now to find a space.
As it was a Park and Ride scheme, we then had to share a bus with them into the city centre, and unsurprisingly we were giggling the whole journey.

Always made me smile as I went past
"Rupert Bear is a plum"
Followed a few days later by
"R Bear is unamused"
Then
"Welcome to Rupert Bear Street"
