Miscellaneous: Today, I sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck....

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, 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, at work, my boss and I went upstairs to storage. We got in the elevator, I pressed the second floor button, and it didn't move so I repeatedly pressed the button. It wasn't until the fifth press that I realized we were already on the second floor. She thought I was an idiot. 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 was stuck in the elevator for almost two hours. Where was the elevator mechanic? Next to me in the elevator. FML

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 got stuck in an elevator. The help-line told me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I had a headache, my legs were stiff, and my date must've thought I stood her up. The tech finally arrived, pries the door open, then rudely asked, "Why didn't you do that yourself?"

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

Today, I went into a shop, not really completely awake. To get to the upper floor, I took the escalator... in the wrong direction. After about 30 seconds (which seemed like hours) trying to climb up the wrong way, my brain started working and by that time I already had a few amused spectators watching me. FML

Today, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML

You are an idiot. 1) You spell a while one word when it's really two words 2) You, "sat ON an elevator." 3) The FML itself

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

CONtinuing off thecanez post: which in the OPs post is the proper context you dumb ******. 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 ******.

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

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

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
