In a sociology class I once took, the professor recommended a fun sociological experiment you can perform on an elevator.

The experiment requires yourself and two accomplices.

Go to a tall, multi-story hotel. Have your observer board the elevator at the top floor of the building during a busy elevator-use time.

You will get on the elevator a few floors below. You and the observer will ignore one another.

Have your second accomplice get on the elevator about half-way down, when the elevator has begun to fill. Then strike up a conversation like the following:

You: Hi, you're kind of cute.
Accomplice: You're not so bad yourself.
Y: Do you like sex?
A: I love sex. You?
Y: I do, too. I have a room on the [lowest floor with guest rooms] floor. Do you want to go there and have sex?
A: Sure!

Push the button for the appropriate floor. You and your second accomplice will get off the elevator there.

Then your observer can watch reactions of your fellow elevator-riders.
