The elevator story, mentioned in Uban Legends on about.com, although a hoax is a good representation of why we belive things like this. The elevator story is about a woman/women who think they are getting mugged in an elevator by an african american, when in reality person/people saposably mugging them is eather telling their dog to sit, or pressing the elevator button using a phrase like hit the floor. At the end though the women who thought they were getting mugged find out that the alledged "muggers" are celebraties and in some way reward them for the laugh. The main reason this story is easiy to belive is because it's so ironic and it is also well written. This detail in the story
