STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR!!

[mooglebunni608]

Yeah, so at the Sci-fi-fantasy convention, I went to this party with a few friends. It was on the 14th floor of the hotel, so we took the elevator. We get to the party and almost immediatly, the host says 'yeah, we're playing truth or dare!'.
Cue the running away and screaming from me.
So we get back into the elevator, and what do you know, SOMEONE leans up against all teh buttons at once, so the outer door closes and the inner door does not! So we were stuck in an elevator- a GLASS elevator, for a half an hour, and it was scary. Especially because I hadn't eaten anything, so I was a little spazzy.
And there was nobody cute enough to cling to, because my best friend was crowded near this guy she likes. ><

So, have you ever gotten stuck in an elevator?
Was it scary?
Have you ever been on the Tower of Terror in Disney World?
Do you like glass elevators?
What do you think about elevators?

When I went to college the elevators in our door were like deathtraps, from the start of the year til the end I prayed every moment I stepped into one hoping that I wouldn't die some vicious quick death. A few times they jarred, sometimes the doors would open a little above actually being on the floor you wanted so you had to jump. It was pretty scary, I myself have never been stuck on an elevator you see.

That would be pretty scary.

Almost My dad had a brilliant idea to use the stairs on the shopping instead of the elevator and then we ended up on the part where they had the stocks and no one was there! Then we took the elevator and it was so slow ;__;
When I'm at uni and I have to go to 4th floor I always use the elevator even though most times I prefer stairs.

I've been in one with no lights.

I've never been stuck in a lift before. I don't mind lifts, but if it was made of glass and I could see out of it - then I would mind and I'd probably take the stairs!

I've never been to Disney World.

I don't like escalators that go down. STAIRS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE! I always think I'm going to fall forwards and tumble all the way down. ;_;

Um no, I haven't ever been stuck in an elevator, though the possibility of an elevator somehow breaking down, it's lines being snapped and letting me and the other poor souls who might be taking it too likely plunge too our deaths, or at least severe and possibly life-threatening injuries, though tbph I'd prefer the latter. Better live incapacitated and possibly unable to walk to die in such a shocking way.

Though I still think it's a much better option to avoid taking an elevator altogether, since it's a nice little bit of exercise to jog or sprint up to wherever you need to ascend to. You MAY just be a little out of breath if it's as high as you were mentioning, so sure, it's probably better just not to be as paranoid as me about thinking how elevators could snap and plunge me to a young and untimely death. But yes - no need to worry about the possibility of such a rare occurrence. Really, I doubt being stuck out in an elevator is that bad in comparison to it just giving away, though I suppose one my lead to the other if the sudden halt jars the mechanics enough to make the elevator sway enough to put its one weight at odds with gravity.

However, I DO want to say that, IF I had HAD to be trapped in an elevator with someone, it would have to be you, MoogleBunny. The idea of having someone there who needed some comfort but didn't have anyone nearby available, coupled with the fact that I actually find you very cute, would ultimately lead me to wanting to be the one to be there to do that.

This reminds me of that epic scene in Gremlins 2 when all the gremlins get the girl in the elevator.

Aw, thanks! We would have taken the stairs, but traditional Japanese garb is hard to walk in, let alone climb stairs ><

Yep ive been stuck in one with some random girl but we were in there ages and got to know eachtoher really well and are friends now it was a little scary at first because i dont enjoy being in a lift lol but i was alright.
Yep, ive been on Tower of Terror and it was great
I think i prefer glass elavators because if they brake down at least you can see where you are, in a normal elevator you feel more cut off.

I was stuck in an elevator, twice. The 2nd time was I was in a glass elevator too! We weren't that far off the first level, so it wasn't really scary and we were sure that we caused it cause like 20 of us crammed into a single elevator even though the maximum was like 10. I took pictures. It was a funny experience.

[Zeldy]

Never, but if it ever happened I would get so worked up and stressed out, I'd be all dramatic and cling onto a friend sobbing in case we died in there or something!

[Denmark]

[Tasura]

I've never been stuck in one, but I was close to it, the elevator door opened, I took a step towards the elevator, then the power went out, if I had been in the elevator, I'd have been in there for several hours.

[Breine]

No, never been stuck in one.. I'm somewhat claustrophobic and so I know it wouldn't be a pleasent experience.

Elevators are convenient, though, when you don't feel like taking the stairs.

[Agrias]

They're so much fun!
