With all of the strange and entertaining laws that technically still exist in the Bay State, I couldn't help but check out what our neighboring states have for weird/outdated laws. One law I found particularly puzzling comes from the State of New York. According to multiple internet sources, it's illegal to speak to people when inside an elevator.
