Today, I sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck. After waiting awhile I looked at the screen to see what floor I was stuck on, only to realize I hadn't pressed a button so I had just stayed on the ground floor. FML

Funny, that's the first thing I thought when I read this one too.

Damn, and I was gonna inb4.

#43 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:39pm by alex_vik

If you thought you were stuck in an elevator, why didn't you access the emergency phone intended for people stuck in elevators? Same goes for the commenters above who have the same thing happen "all the time" - are we really that unaware of our surroundings?

Srsly?

#12 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:12pm by ZuRG

Ouch. I've spaced before -- and I'll guaran-damn-tee that #6 and #7 have too -- but that sounds pretty bad.

#18 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:32pm by shewasalmost18

...you're an idiot..

#19 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:39pm by Mc09toofine

TEN minutes?? i hope you're being factious, i mean were you stoned or what? 10 minutes would be an eternity to stand around in an elevator, thinking you're stuck, and doing nothing about it. ??

#20 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:45pm by mangotreats

I did the same thing! LMAO :P

#21 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:48pm by sporky

I hope this is fake. nobody can really be that dumb can they?

#22 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:58pm by Nightfallz

No way it was 10 minutes. I hope for the world's sake you're not that dumb.

#23 - On 07/08/2009 at 2:59pm by mlia66

Congratulations :-D You're one of the few that made me laugh out loud.

#24 - On 07/08/2009 at 3:04pm by Bart_Oranje

Wow, drugs do the darnedest things.

#25 - On 07/08/2009 at 3:12pm by Guairdean

oh, i've done that before. sucks! lol. except, when it happened to me it was in a 3 story building so it didn't take me near as long to realize my stupidity.

#26 - On 07/08/2009 at 3:15pm by heb777

It happened to me once. But the elevator door was stuck, so I'm not that stupid. :P

#27 - On 07/08/2009 at 3:17pm by xxMiiNii

#28 - On 07/08/2009 at 3:34pm by soccerboy101

#32 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:06pm by eli_guerra

Haha! My friend and I did that once. Don't worry, you're not alone xD

#33 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:12pm by Mr_Trumpet

I have this feeling you're blond, aren't you? :P

#34 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:15pm by mijzelffan

I have this feeling that you're an idiot, aren't you?

#39 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:27pm by wandaax03

I assume it wasn't your brightest moment. If it was, then I feel sorry for you.

#36 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:24pm by _Noon_

Your life is fucked because you WEREN'T stuck in an elevator?

#38 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:26pm by inerdablanket

Just imagine how much it would suck if you WERE stuck in it!

#40 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:28pm by _Noon_

Hahahahahaha.. Ha ha .. Hahaha.. HA.. Hehe.. Ha.. ha.. hahahaha.. you suck.. but I find it funny xD

#41 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:28pm by Iwannabetreo

lmfao!!! thats pretty stupid of you...but at least you weren't actually stuck in the elevator.

#42 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:31pm by canulickteeth

Hahaha, YDI P: Even though I've had similar happen - I'd go to push the button, not press it hard enough, then sat a minute or two waiting until I realized it hadn't registered the selection. But never 10 minutes!

#44 - On 07/08/2009 at 4:42pm by BLNovelist

Lol me and my friend did that before to. except at a beach condo in the elevator and we just walked aorund in circles waiting for someone to come fix it. when the person came all she had to do was press the button to get it ''fixed'' but oh well. it happens.

#45 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:02pm by MamaCita1633

Your a fucking moron, this is a new a type of retard right here. YDI.

#46 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:04pm by YoungTechnique

I'm actually more in disbelief that so many people admit to doing it too...

Why wouldn't you just try pressing (other) buttons?
Or see if the emergency button was on?
Or use the call box / button?

Yeah... just wow...

#47 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:15pm by philosopher

aha. tthats funny. 10 min though? thts a long time to just stay there clueless not doing anything.

#48 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:27pm by LadyinPurple

Lmfaoo wow just wow

#49 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:28pm by KiddNYC10

LOL, this is jokes, your pretty stupid to just sit in a none moving elevator, look before sitting in an elevator, next time.

#50 - On 07/08/2009 at 5:38pm by Reena03

This happened to me once. I thought I was stuck in there and couldn't get out, so I started screaming and banging on the doors as I cried hysterically. Of course, I was about six or seven when it happened. What's your excuse?

#51 - On 07/08/2009 at 6:17pm by adelaide_evening

haha this has actually happened to me too. Except I was in the elevator with my grandma and we were too busy talking to realize neither of us had pushed a button.

#52 - On 07/08/2009 at 6:36pm by lilsurfergrlsp

anybody who has been stuck in an elevator without realizing they nnever pressed the button right is fucking stupid

#53 - On 07/08/2009 at 6:40pm by Kondustra

Someone else would have called the elevator if it had actually been 10 minutes.

#54 - On 07/08/2009 at 6:40pm by brrrx

i've done that...but um it only took me a few seconds of standing there to realize what happened. "oh damn, didn't push the button yet, derrrr."

#55 - On 07/08/2009 at 6:46pm by fretforyerlatte

Fake. First of all if you were stuck, you wouldve moved then stopped. Second of all if you didn't move at all, you press the button that opens the door to get out.

#56 - On 07/08/2009 at 7:45pm by zach5

this is more like a "my life is average," to be honest.

#57 - On 07/08/2009 at 7:51pm by FMLisright

You were probably stoned, drunk, or dumb.

#58 - On 07/08/2009 at 8:03pm by Squit

You "sat on an elevator"? Pretty sure that's dangerous

#59 - On 07/08/2009 at 9:02pm by Avenging_Angel

Nancy, you're not American by any chance, are you?

#61 - On 07/08/2009 at 9:34pm by buckfasthero

i swear to god if youre subtly implying a "dumb americunt" joke im going to fucking hurt you!! >.<
seriously, its not funny and the chans are laden with them as it is. just stop doing it......

#67 - On 07/08/2009 at 10:40pm by Kondustra

that ten minutes alone in a sensory deprivation tank probably saved millions of lives.

or not. but doesn't that give you a warm?

#62 - On 07/08/2009 at 9:55pm by mercyFML

Are you, by any chance, a natural blonde?

#63 - On 07/08/2009 at 10:18pm by crazyasianlady

Are you blonde?

#64 - On 07/08/2009 at 10:20pm by crazyasianlady

wooooww....

#65 - On 07/08/2009 at 10:20pm by theblueone4

The security guy looking at the video is going to have fun.

#66 - On 07/08/2009 at 10:33pm by moogleluvr

Hahaha it would be funny if the security cameras recprded this!!!

#68 - On 07/08/2009 at 11:43pm by 1bored

How is this even funny? wow

#69 - On 07/08/2009 at 11:58pm by shadow_child

LMAO that always happens to me.. but i notice it after like 20 seconds haha

#70 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:11am by Mariee265

slap your self then go stand in a corner

#71 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:21am by rell55555

too funny.

#72 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:54am by jdassa

XD That's funny. At least there wasn't anyone in there with you.

#73 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:56am by ChaosChild

Wait, you sat on an elevator? If that's the case then I don't blame you..

#74 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:05am by cutebebe778

My mom and I did the same thing, don't feel bad =]

#75 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:08am by LEblondie15

please don't reproduce

#76 - On 07/09/2009 at 2:28am by tonia

This doesn't make sense. While thinking you are stuck, you never hit any more buttons or looked at the floor number? What would even make you think you were stuck? You didn't even try to push the Doors Open button!
This is like thinking your car has broken down when you have not even put the keys in the ignition or touched a thing or looked at your dashboard.
Did your parents have any kids that lived?

#77 - On 07/09/2009 at 4:53am by christopherlove

LOL! Loser! Total fail!

#78 - On 07/09/2009 at 5:25am by danineteen

Haha, that sucks. That happened to me once at a movie theatre. I was in the elevator with a few friends standing by the door. After about 5 minutes I asked out loud why the elevator hadn't moved. One of my friends asked me if I'd pushed the button. I hadn't.

Everyones done something like that, so all those people making rude comments, don't think you're any better. :)

#79 - On 07/09/2009 at 8:40am by broken_princess

At least you weren't "stuck" in a restroom stall panicking and freaking out about the locked door. Good job keeping your cool. When did it become hip to be all manic depressive anyway?

#80 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:11am by m00sem00se

Oh man! I can't say "you deserved it" because I've done this before too. Don't feel bad, we're all absent- minded sometimes.

#81 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:56am by Kandyland

LOL

#82 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:15pm by one2three

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahahhahahaahhahaaaaa!!! At least you didn't hit the alarm buttong before you figured it out! lol

#83 - On 07/09/2009 at 12:50pm by Hellsno

I read it and was laughing so hard and then I remembered my similar incident 3 weeks ago.

#84 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:22pm by Sunshine26

When “awhile” is spelled as a single word, it is an adverb meaning “for a time”.... dumbass.

#87 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:01pm by thecanez

CONtinuing off thecanez post: which in the OPs post is the proper context you dumb faggot. he sat on the elevator for a time. hence it would be spelled awhile. your attemp to be above the man has failed and you fail at life. go die in a fire you raging faggot.

#88 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:59pm by Kondustra

that can't possable be true a person in that situation would push the bottom a minute later If nothing happened they would push the emergency botton

#89 - On 07/12/2009 at 5:32pm by tomberryboy

Idiot. It doesn't take 10 minutes to reach a floor on almost elevator...

#90 - On 07/15/2009 at 4:24am by kpanchal

That's the point *idiot* (just using your own wording). They sat there for ten minutes because they thought they were stuck, not because that's how long it took them to reach a floor.

('On almost elevator'?)

They deserve it, though.

Jet

#91 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:19am by Jethro

ive done that hahaha, but not for 10 min,, maby 10 sec then i realized i should be at my floor by now and was like o yea, push the button... :D

#92 - On 08/17/2009 at 9:22am by THysios

I did that and stood there for about a minute before realizing what I did lol

#93 - On 10/19/2009 at 7:13am by lulujay

Guys chill, maybe the OP was exaggerating about "10 minutes," it could've been more like 1 minute.
P.S. YDI. You fail still.
P.P.S. #77's last sentence ROFL
