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

If "Flimflam" is your nickname that's cool, I feel bad for you climbing the stairs. If "Flimflam" is the sound your fat makes as you climb up the stairs, you might wanna consider running up!

Damn you people are being so stupid! You'd hate it too if you were in the OP's situation, and for sure you'll get sick&tired for walking that many stairs again and again and again. Let me guess, all you people who're calling the OP fat and lazy are sad, lonely, fat people themselves? Don't you have anything better to do than calling someone you don't even know fat&lazy? For christ sake, most of the people who own golden plagues at sports would hate climbing so many stairs for several days!
