Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML

stairs are way different than walking around- I had a knee injury that is still sort of lingering, and I can walk miles (carrying a backpack) with no problem, but if I have to take a lot of stairs, I have a lot of knee pain. OP, that sucks, I complained when I lived on the 6th floor and one of our two elevators was broken, lol. I hope you don't have to go grocery shopping much before they fix the elevators!

what college has dorms with 26 floors? that seriously makes no sense. even the biggest schools have dorms only 4 or 5 floors. If OP would have said apartment that would be believable.

Thats not true. I don't know about 26 floors, but I live in a dorm with 16 floors.
