Today, I got stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes. I am an elevator mechanic. 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, 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 stuck in an elevator. I called the fire department and told them where I was. They said they'd be right there and not to panic. It's hour 6. FML
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 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 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 a big crowded elevator and had to struggle tried to press the button for my floor because no one close to the buttons bothered to ask me which floor I was going to. Instead, I hit the emergency stop button. The elevator stopped between floors for 20 minutes. Everyone stared at me like I was a movie villain. FML
Today, after being trapped in an elevator for 4 hours, I really had to pee. Just when I decided to pee in the elevator shaft, the lift doors opened. FML

I would try and make some sort of joke, but the gears aren't really turning in my head

I'm sure that elevator mechanic's job has it's share of "ups and downs." I usually "take steps" to avoid elevators, but knowing there's an elevator expert with you should calm and "lift" your spirits.

Wow that pun run really floored me. I think highly of anyone who can raise the standard in puns around here; all those "shitty situation" puns push my buttons.

All of these amazing puns are lowering my self-esteem. Care to elevate my spirits or will you just leave me on the floor?

Got stuck in an elevator when I was six. In a hospital. With viral pneumonia. It sucked.

I don't really think it works that way. What good is an elevator mechanic when he's stuck in a stationary dangling box without access to the main controls, cables, or other mechanical parts?
