I think people are trying to keep their mind off the fart that is trying to rupture their insides until they can get off the damn elevator

Because the first person in the elevator, when they got on, was staring at the ceiling, so everyone's trying to figure out what that person was looking at.

Not really sure since I usually stare at the floor....I am sure if the elevator were to fall they would have a better rush looking up than down.

Staring at the ceiling or floor is a simple way to avoid awkard situations like staring at someone in a wierd way.

It could possibly be that there isn't really anything else to look at and/or that they don't know anyone on the elevator and are afraid of making eye contact. Why that would be so bad and then to say hello, I have no idea.

coz an elevator is like a vaccum n there is nothing to look at except the ceiling which focuses on peoples attention, it can also be because its the way we r.

People just have a tendency of looking up; even when they step outside at home they always look up; I quess that's because everything else is right around them and obvious even in an elevator it's what's over their head that they can't see until they look up that triggers their minds.

The want to get some nice breeze from the fan...
or better still, they want to check on the cables, so that they can get off the elevator soon in cae they notice something
