Need a lift at work? Well, researchers suggest standing out of place in the work elevator can be a subtle attempt to rise above your superiors.
Research carried out in Australia claims to show that by staring or standing out of place in a lift is a subversive way of challenging accepted "norms and hierarchies".
Lead researcher Rebekah Rousi PhD said: "More senior men in particular seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins. In front of them were younger men and in front of them were women of all ages."
