Today, I got stuck in an elevator for well over an hour while riding it up to my weight and fitness class. Very funny, universe. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes. I am an elevator mechanic. FML
Today, I was on the elevator going up to a meeting, and the elevator was getting more and more crowded as we went up. After about ten people got on, they all agreed that I should get off the elevator because they thought me being on was exceeding the weight limit. FML
Today, I was stuck in the elevator for almost two hours. Where was the elevator mechanic? Next to me in the elevator. 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, 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
Today, I got trapped in my building's elevator for over an hour, with my dog who I had been rushing outside with because he had explosive diarrhea. FML
Today, the rollercoaster I was on stuck upside down for a few minutes. I shat myself in terror. Then, gravity took effect. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator with my boss and two other coworkers. To lighten the mood, I tried telling a joke. I forgot the punchline halfway through and ended up awkwardly trailing off. We still had 20 minutes to go before maintenance rescued us. FML
Today, I got stuck in a small elevator. It started to violently judder up and down after I pressed the 'Help' buzzer. The man on the intercom wouldn't stop laughing at how my voice was jumpy from the juddering movements before he called for help. FML
Today, the elevator got stuck in between floor 4 and 5 at my doctors office. I had been having violent diarrhea. It was the reason I was at the doctor. Elevator was stuck for 35 minutes. During that time, I diarrhea'd in my pants twice. There were seven other people in the elevator. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Looks like the universe wants some of us to be lazy fatties. The elevator just held you for an hour this time. Don't piss it off again by attempting to go to class again!

Common. I take my car to my local gym even though it's only a few blocks and I can easily walk. I look at it this way, the less work I use to get there, the more energy I can use to actual get a more productive workout. Yeah! How do you like that, universe?

I'll be watching out for your FML when the universe retaliates.

I have to drive to the gym bc there's no sidewalks where I live. Oh Louisiana. I even live in a city, too. Can't walk anywhere except for on the college campus without the very high chance of getting hit by a car.

Always use the stairs to go to such a class :p

Only if it is on a reasonable floor. You don't want to use up tons of energy getting to class and then have too little for when the trainer is able to help you with problem areas to actually do any good.

Should've taken the stairs. For your fitness anyways.

Elevator alarm or call button

I'm pretty sure O.P would have thought of that. Unless they're amazingly stupid.

Should have taken the stairs, it was a fitness class after all.
