Today, I was stuck in the elevator for almost two hours. Where was the elevator mechanic? Next to me in the elevator. FML

Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML

Today, I got stuck in an elevator for well over an hour while riding it up to my weight and fitness class. Very funny, universe. FML

Today, I sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck. After waiting awhile I looked at the screen to see what floor I was stuck on, only to realize I hadn't pressed a button so I had just stayed on the ground floor. FML

Today, I got stuck in an elevator with my boss and two other coworkers. To lighten the mood, I tried telling a joke. I forgot the punchline halfway through and ended up awkwardly trailing off. We still had 20 minutes to go before maintenance rescued us. FML

Today, I got stuck in an elevator. I called the fire department and told them where I was. They said they'd be right there and not to panic. It's hour 6. FML

Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML

Today, at my first day of work at a new job, I got stuck in the elevator going to the parking garage. I have claustrophobia about both elevators and parking garages. They said this never happens. FML

Uh, no. Elevator mechanics can't do anything while they are stuck in an elevator. Maybe, he was working at a place where there are multiple elevators, and he used a working one and got stuck in it. It's not like he can do anything if he's stuck in an elevator on the way down.

And elevator mechanics are supposed to be immune to getting stuck in the elevator?

being stuck in elevators suck. When I was about 8 or 9 I was visiting my grandfather in the hospital, I was hungry so my grandmother gave me money to go downstairs and get something to eat. Some asshole pulled the fire alarm while I was in the elevator and thus I got stuck alone until the fire department brought the elevator down.

This was one of best ones I've heard in a long time. Short, to the point, and hilarious. :) At least you have a story to tell people. I'm sure you're the type that can laugh and yourself.

Well I'm sure you couldn't get out, you'd be the most experienced in knowing how to get out of a broken elevator. You were probably fixing the elevator in the first place.
