When someone intentionally pushes your buttons, and takes you there (even though it's not a place you want to get to).
When white people pretend to be well-intentioned (possibly while giving backhanded compliments), yet repeatedly over-step boundaries or do microaggressions intentionally until you snap. Then, they act all innocent and wonder what happened, because it was a relatively small thing they eventually did that caused you to go there.
It is a compound of multiple transgressions. Someone could do the same thing many times, or multiple different things, consecutively. An example would be centering themselves, then gaslighting, then white-splaining and victim-blaming, whatabouting, and any other microaggressions or transgressions done until the Black person in the scenario has had more than enough and loses their temper.

White Woman 1: "(Black Woman 1) completely went off on me after I touched her hair. I just don't understand it. I don't know why she's so angry. She has a new hairstyle every week! I was giving her a compliment; It's not like I was trying to hurt her or anything. (White Woman 2) and I touch each other's hair all the time."
Black Woman 2: (Black Woman 1) politely asked you to stop doing that at least 10 times. I was there. You pulled an elevator operator on her.

Get the french elevator mug.When you comment on a facebook or reddit thread (usually of political discourse) with a vicious and worthless comment that is only meant to make the rest of the commenters angry for the sake of being a dick. You just say your comment and leave, with no intention of engaging in the conversation.
Like farting in an elevator of strangers as you walk off at your floor, leaving them to deal with your ugly stench.
i.e. When a Hillary person randomly goes on a Bernie person's facebook page thoughtfully discussing healthcare news and leaves a comment like, "You are all a bunch of socialists and you're the reason we have Trump!", or a conservative just goes on a liberals' page and calls them all a bunch of "libtards" and neither respond to questions or comments, that's like farting in an elevator.

I promote thoughtful political discourse on this thread with articulate responses. No farting in this elevator.
