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 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.

I got stuck once and a guy called his friend who's a tech and instructed him how to manually open it. Not sure how that would make you feel better... But I was glad.

Surely the elevator mechanic should of been able to help get you out?

Not really, no. Most of the master controls are not located inside the elevator. xP Generally the mechanic is OUTSIDE when things happen.

Elevator mechanics shouldn't ride in elevators for this reason if the elevator is nearing inspection day

Why couldn't he fix it?

Because most of the issues that can cause you to become trapped can only be fixed from OUTSIDE. :p...
