Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML

Have the schools head on a platter for unreasonable treatment. This was an emergency situation in which you had no other choice. You were not disrupting a class or using it for conversation. Maybe you could have pushed the emergency call button in the elevator, but that's no excuse for the school's actions.

Doesn't elevators come with emergency ring and intercom?

My school had 3 floors but it was a old building, so there was no elevator, but for them who had like a broken leg or a heart condition or what ever, it was hard to use stairs all the time. So there is a reason schools have elevators.

What schools do you guys attend? With my school, you aren't allowed to use them, but if a teacher permits it you can. Punishment for being caught with one depends on the teacher whose class you're in.

Wow, that's really harsh. At both my high school and senior school you can use phones as long as it's not during a lesson, or in most cases, just when the teacher is speaking...

I don't get why most schools in America ban cell phones. I'm from Croatia and we can have our phones but not use them during class. I think that's a really dumb rule because u might not be going home after school but u still can't have ur phone o.O On the other hand, in my school I would have gotten in trouble for using the elevator as I'm not disabled :P

Isn't there a call button in elevators?

How is that even allowed? You were technically in an emergency situation. Sure, you could have used the elevator call button, but still.

This isn't regular retarded this is advanced retarded
