Not in the mood
Today, I'm severely hungover. Upon returning home, I came to find that both of the elevators were out of order. I live on the 12th floor. 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

LETMEOUT!
Today, despite being claustrophobic and avoiding lifts at all costs, I had to use the lift at work to carry boxes of paper to the 3rd floor. It broke down. FML

Today, we had a fire drill in my dorm, and I live on the 7th floor of my building. They shut the elevators down and I had to walk down 14 flights of steps. I shattered my kneecap last week. They turned the alarm off when I got to the first floor. FML

Today, my window got busted and won't shut properly. I live in a college dorm room and maintenance says they can't fix it for a couple of days. It's below freezing in my dorm and I can see my breath while trying sleep. FML
Elevated fear
Today, I finally sought help for my crippling fear of elevators. When I arrived at my new therapist's office, I found the door to the stairs locked. To get to my appointment on the third floor of the building, I have to take 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

Which university in Texas has dorms on the 26th floor?

LOL that's a good question! I'm at Texas Tech and the tallest dorms on campus have 12 floors. They're plenty tall.

Better question is why is there only one elevator in a 27 story building?

Yeah Dobie is tall but it does have an underground mall. Now Jester is massive in people it can hold. I stayed in the west tower, it was awesome.

Oh technically Dobie is not part of UT but is right across the street.

You're going to get some top-notch exercise! I'll bet after you build your Buns of Steel, you'll avoid the elevator even when it's fixed!

"Omg I can't believe I have to take the stairs! This sucks so much! Gah, I hate the stairs I want to use the elevator because I'm a lazy ****." Get over it, it's not the end of the world. You could probably use the exercise anyway.

I live on the 14th floor and the elevator brakes every times it rains more for a few days. It's nothing compared to you though ^^
