Today, I was going down the elevator in my dorm and a friend joined on another floor. He then thought it was a good time to tell me that he'd slept with my girlfriend when the elevator got stuck. Worst 40 minutes of my life. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was riding my dorm elevator from the 5th floor to the 1st by myself. Since the elevator is really slow, I pulled my pants and underwear down just for kicks. Just then, the door opened to let a girl on at the 4th floor. 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
Today, I was in an elevator with my girlfriend when it stuck mid-floor. Being supportive, I went to hug her and tell her we'd be OK. Today I also learned that my girlfriend is deathly claustrophobic and her predominant reaction is to vomit. In this case, all over me. We were stuck for 2 hours. FML
Today, I woke up in my boyfriend's dorm and decided to take a shower before he woke up. I used the girls bathroom on the above floor, and afterwards just threw on a towel and ran to the elevator. I forgot to press my boyfriend's floor and I was taken to the lobby in a towel. People were waiting. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator with a stranger. We made awkward small talk until the elevator started smelling like something was burning. Turns out, the elevator was overheating. We had to spend 30 minutes stuck there, and I learned way too much about this guy’s weird foot fungus. FML
Today, I was in an elevator with my girlfriend when it suddenly stopped. Thinking of being spontaneous like in all the movies, I propped her up on the railings and started getting passionate. That's when the emergency phone rang. And I discovered there was a security camera. 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 taking my boyfriend to meet my grandparents. They live on the 27th floor. Alone in the elevator we started making out. Turns out that there's a camera in the elevator, connected to every apartment. My grandma asked me how it was. 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?" FML
Today, what I thought would be a romantic sleepover with the guy I like quickly turned into hell on earth when his girlfriend showed up. I had to scale the fire escape in my underwear so I could get back to my car in one piece. FML

You shoulda beat his ass to a pulp and then trash your girls room and put her on blast and show everyone what you did to your "friend"

That sucks, but at least he told you OP. Now you know the truth and can react accordingly.

So you were in a confined space with this douchecanoe and he couldn't escape for 40 minutes after telling you he nailed your girlfriend and you didn't beat his ass into the ground? You my friend just slapped the universe in the face for giving you that opportunity and not taking it. You should've broken every bone in his body.

Well, at least that means OP has more self-control than others, which isn't entirely a bad quality to have either.

Sometimes it seems that people on this website have no understanding of consequences. It may have been temporarily satisfying to do what you suggested, but getting charged with assault wouldn't fix his relationship with his girlfriend or his friendship with the guy she cheated with.

Why act that way though? She's a cheater who doesn't deserve the satisfaction of him literally fighting over her. Same for the friend. Acting like a caveman won't solve what's already happened.

That is something nobody should go through, I respect what you did there, you kept your cool and that is hard to do and on a really sensetive thing like that

It would've been the longest and most painful 40 minutes of his life!
