Today, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML

Stuck on amber

Today, I got stuck in an elevator with a guy I have a bit of a crush on. Trying to break the awkward silence, I made a joke about our situation, saying, "Well, at least we're not on a desert island." He replied, "Yeah, but I'd still prefer the island; at least then I could escape." FML

Today, I was the only one in an elevator when an attractive girl came in, talking on her phone. She told her friend, "I have to go, there's a cute guy on this elevator." Before I could even react, she turned to me and said, "Sorry for lying, I really wanted to get off the phone with her." FML

Hot wheels

By Liam. - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - France

Today, I was in an elevator, and the hot girl who lives in my building and who I have a crush on got in. She was in a wheelchair with a broken leg, I panicked and tried to flirt with her, and I said, "Nice chair." She replied, "Nice bruise" and punched me in the nuts. FML

Today, I was going down the elevator in my dorm and a friend joined on another floor. He then thought it was a good time to tell me that he slept with my girlfriend when the elevator got stuck. Worst 40 minutes of my life. FML

Going down

By Rob - 15/11/2024 03:00 - United States

Today, I tried to strike up a conversation with someone in an elevator by commenting on the "beautiful view." We were in a windowless elevator, heading for the basement parking lot. I then had to try and appear less psychotic to avoid freaking them out even more. FML

Today, I shared an elevator alone with an attractive co-worker. On our way up, she let out a loud, noxious rip. She covered her nose and mouth while giving me an accusing look, as I said with a straight face, "Excuse you." Later, I received a note from HR for harassment. FML

It's the way I tell 'em

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 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

Introvert life

By CaBur - 19/02/2013 22:03 - United States - Los Angeles

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

Thanks, I guess

Today, I got stuck in an elevator. The help-line told me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I had a headache, my legs were stiff, and my date must've thought I stood her up. The tech finally arrived, pries the door open, then rudely asked, "Why didn't you do that yourself?"

I am sure that was not the best thing to say but I would not worry about it...it's def not a FML story as it was not funny and or devastating in anyway. should of said "wazzzzzzzuuuuup!" or maybe Dam! it sure is hot in here do you know what is going on with that new project?

At least you didn't say, "Pants are awkward" and flash her. That is a positive.

Why would she go out of her way to get off three floors sooner? Sounds like to me either she'd meant to get off there or she was really itching to get away from you. If it is the latter, maybe you should try to be less creepy.

I agree. Perhaps you should try talking to her in a normal manner, like hello or I have seen you around what do you do exactly? Do you like your job?

Scenario 1: Weather Girl: *silent* Op: It looks like rain today. Girl: Uh, like yea! Op: Would hate for you to get wet, especially with those breasts...I mean that blouse. Girl: Kicks him in crotch. Scenario 2: If Op were pimp Girl: Silence Op: So I have seen you are work. What do you do? Girl: I work... Op: Perhaps we could "work" together on a few project. I know I get a big head just thinking about how hard we are going to work. You look tense, come by my office and I will work my magic on your backside. Girl: Oh Op, you are so strong and sexy, like Jackie Chan!
