Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 11,206,501 views a day, 52 times a normal first day on this channel (213,405).
Why is she standing so CLOSE to the elevator? 😂
Who gets the bigger fright when these elevator doors open? The man stepping out recoils from a woman standing right against the entrance, but she gets a shock too.
The brief surveillance-style clip has reached about 8.6 million views in 14 hours on Videos that make your day better, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. The channel reposts and re-edits other people's footage; this upload adds scream and laughter sound effects to the encounter.
A woman in a red top walks past the startled pair into the elevator, laughing and covering her face. That leaves the clip with an extra witness to an already awkward meeting.
Viewers are discussing the dark background outside the doors, how close the waiting woman stands, and the awkwardness of sharing the elevator afterward. Several say they would have been startled too. The comments have already exceeded the channel's usual full first day several times over.
The elevator clip isn't the channel's only unusually fast starter: "Bro was hungry for 2 whole minutes" and "System hacked 😂" have also drawn much larger early audiences than its typical Short.
