That is all...

Not an elevator, but I was stuck on two different American Airlines S80s last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning on the tarmac at O'Whore for a total of 5 hours. The first plane had no electricity, no lights, no AC and the second plane had no crew. Finally got home at 5:00 AM and had to go straight to a meeting with the client. Not fun.

Buddy of mine did that.
They were fixing the elevators and they stopped his in the middle when they headed to lunch.

Best messages ever.

I used to work in the libary at OSU as the guy in the basement who goes out, collects a bunch of books, transports them back to the basement, barcodes them, enters them into the database, and takes them back to the floor. I was always wheeling books around on a cart and used the elevator every trip.

It was extremely boring so I used to get the elevator going up, throw the STOP switch, and let the car slack the cable and come back down. There was a sweet moment of reduced g's. So exhilarating for the library!

ONe time, I fucked up. The elevator puked when I went to turn it back on. IT was stuck between floors and wouldn't move. I pried the doors open with my 5.11b-climbing fingertips and the ceiling of the floor was in the middle of the elevator doorway. It was like a scene from a movie. I jumped out and ran, eager to disassociate with the carnage, obviously considering the fact that my limbs or torso could be severed should the elevator start as I was halfway out. Fuck those books.

You will never see an "escalator out of order" sign. You will only see an "escaltor temporalily stairs. Sorry for your convenience."

Yes. At work before anyone else was in the office. I was only stuck for maybe 10 - 15 minutes, but it felt like hours...

it got stuck in one of the twin towers elevators when i was in new york back in 2000. Im closterphobic as it is. They fucking pack 250 people in these fuckers so its like elbow to elbow. We got stuck right before the first floor (on our way back down). The elevator dude, and one from the outside pried the doors open a little and i gave him the look of death. he let my ass out and made everyone else wait until they could bring it to a safer level. I had to climb about 3 feet up to get out. But he could tell i was gonna lose it if i didnt get the fuck out. Ya, im a sissy when it comes to elevators. I really fucking hate them since that episode. Sucks for me i have to ride one everytime i want to smoke or leave my office building.

I used to work at a hospital as a laborer who cleaned the blood off of the surgical instruments after they were done in the OR. Since I was carrying the nastiest of stuff, they would make us use the older, less dependable elevators in the "employees only" portion of the hospital. However, sometimes the public somehow found themselves on these elevators, as I was carting away some blood-soaked basins with globs of blood and tissue floating in them. I loved those times... It clearly says "Employees Only" on the elevator, so if they came in while I was there, well, they got to ride with my mess.

The eleveators broke down all the bleedin' time. I couldn't tell you how many times I got stuck in one. Usually, the maintenance crew were quick to respond, as it was usually the same reasons that it broke down. 5-10 minutes at the most and I was out. A few times, it occurred with the public and I was carting of the half-coagulated messes. Good times.

However, there was one time that I got stuck in there for over an hour. I don't remember how long it was. I wasn't carrying the blood-stained utensils, but there was a very cute girl with whom I was trapped. I wish I could say that it turned out like that one porno I saw a few years back, but it didn't. I was even geekier then I am now, got all nervous, and don't think I even gave her my name. I was such an idiot.

Oh yeah... it was old enough that if you used a cell phone in the elevator, somehow the fire alarm would get tripped and stop the elevator. They had these big signs saying "ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES," and they'd always ignore it. I'd even directly ask the people not to use them, and on more then one occassion, they'd ignore me, and the elevator would shut down. Bastards. They still bug me today..

I was going up in a lift at a hotel the other week. I wasn't paying attention to the floor readout so I thought it had stopped on the 3rd when I wanted to go to 4th. There were some people standing there talking but they didn't get in so I just waited until the doors closed again. It didn't move so I pressed 4 again. Still nothing. I pressed it a few more times waiting patiently then looked up at the screen and realised I was on 4th. I'd probably been waiting there about a minute so I had the humiliation of pressing the door open button and walking out with the same people still stood there watching me.

Trapped by my own stupidity

I didn't get stuck but in Jr. high I messed up my knee skiing. The school had an elevator for wheelchairs and people on crutches. I was allowed one person to ride with me at a time. What they didn't realize was that the elevator went to a back hallway in the girls locker rooms. We had a great view of the lockers. No showers (Damn). But we got to see more then any of use 13 year old boys had seen before. This went on until we were busted for about the fifth time for having 10+ in the elevator. We never got caught in the locker room. The teachers just thought we were just dicking around on the elevator.
