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 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...

aww at least you got a little work out... maybe you should try taking the stairs as a workout... to stay in shape... not saying your fat or anything but it will be a good way to warm up for a good jog or run go down the stairs run then when you go home run up the stairs...

Thaaat sucks. I've never really been in that situation, so I wouldn't know how you feel. FYL because of the irony that the elevator started back up once you reached the top. That just sucks.

Wow, your life real is ****** if you think getting some excercise has screwed you over.

OP, People saying "you're fat, boohoo, at least you got exercise, don't bitch because you had to move around a bit, this isn't an FML, etc..." are the same people who come here SOLELY to find reasons to spit YDI at people. **** 'em. On the bright side, Honey: I bet Your Ass and Thighs look GREAT after this!

It sucks but it`s not an Fml. These things happen it`s unfortunate that it came back on right after your second trip up the stairs but really getting some excercise doesn`t mean you life is ******. Now if it was 17 flights up a building for a job interview and your forgot your resume in the car and had to go down to get it and back up and then the elevator came back on and you didn`t get the job for being late, THAT would be an FML
