You're a better man than me because I was once stuck alone in an elevator in my condo bldg.
Don't know which is worse. To be stuck alone or with someone you don't want to be stuck with!
Anyway, I was calm at first because I noticed there was a telephone only to find out it doesn't work!
Then the panic started. I pressed the alarm bell and it took forever for the maintenance crew to come by.
Kept thinking about that poor man that was stuck in an elevator at his office bldg for three days because
it happened during the weekend.
I don't like elevators. Especially MTA elevators. I avoid them at all costs but I had to take some line
(I forget which) to B'klyn and the elevator is the only way to exit. I was nervous throughout the slow
ascent and vowed never to get off that particular stop again. I don't trust elevators. People have been
decapitated being stuck between floors, prying the doors open, and trying to hoist themselves up or down only for the elevator car to suddenly decide to activate.
I was also stuck in a "renegade" elevator where it kept shooting up and down the various floors. This time the elevator telephone worked but when the maintenance crew asked what floor I was on I said, "how the **** do I know. The lights are off and the elevator has a mind of it's own and is just zipping up and down floors!".
Meh.
