Not in the mood

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

When I was in the 4th grade me and friends would walk 5km from school back to our village which was on the to top of a hill, we were 8 years old! In Uni again I'd go from the train station 1.5Km uphill to the university, almost every week day for 4 years. Walking doesn't kill you you know.

Well, either challenge the stairs or bunk at your friends or family for a couple of days, go to a cheap hotel for a couple of days, if you have the money... I live on the 13th floor and try to use te stairs sometimes, just for the heck of it. Tough I usually regret it by the 10th floor, but the I'm kinda really out of form with my desk-job. Anyway, that is really not a FML, just a slight inconvenience.
