Today, the elevator in my apartment building broke down. I live on the 30th floor and am still climbing the stairs. FML

Today, at my first day of work at a new job, I got stuck in the elevator going to the parking garage. I have claustrophobia about both elevators and parking garages. They said this never happens. FML

You've got to be confident around lifts; those magnificent metallic steeds can sense your anxiety. Place a hand gently on the wall, speak affectionately, and /avoid the bewildered stares of fellow passengers/.

It's funny how, it's the small things that we fear. Guess life has its ups and downs. Hopefully OP wasn't stuck there for too long.
