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, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML

Today, I'm severely hungover. Upon returning home, I came to find that both of the elevators were out of order. I live on the 12th floor. FML

Today, I finally sought help for my crippling fear of elevators. When I arrived at my new therapist's office, I found the door to the stairs locked. To get to my appointment on the third floor of the building, I have to take the elevator. FML

Today, despite being claustrophobic and avoiding lifts at all costs, I had to use the lift at work to carry boxes of paper to the 3rd floor. It broke down. 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, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. FML

Today, my neighbor told me to stop pushing the elevator buttons and opening doors with my feet. I bitched him out, because he's been making a huge issue out of it for months. Right after, I realized I forgot my keys inside and he's the only person around who could let me back into the building. FML

Oh STFU Seventeen flights of stairs could rough even on the smallest and most athletic. Why are you guys such ***** on this site? I remember when it used to be fun to read these FMLs and the comments...

The worst part about going up 17 flights of stairs is how long it takes.

Oh boohoo, walking up stairs. When I'm in school I live in New York City on the 16th floor and do it even if I just don't feel like waiting for the elevator. Get over it.

It's not legit, it's a scam that installs a trojan that attempts to steal your financial information (bank website login, credit card info, etc) and any other valuable information it can find.

you_there had it right. What? No one asked about scams... OP: I'm sorry ): Even if you're not out of shape (which I'm assuming you're not), that would be difficult. Ignore the people on here saying that you're fat, and got exercise. They probably wouldn't be able to do 17 flights three times. Good for you.

12 flights of stairs times 4 different elevator "fails" in less than 5 weeks at my place last year. Each time "miraculously" the elevator came back on within minutes of my arrival home. Except the last time where I waited downstairs determined not to get screwed again, waited 3 hours, climbed up and it didn't come back until the next morning. FYL indeed and I feel your pain!!
