Today, I got stuck in an elevator for well over an hour while riding it up to my weight and fitness class. Very funny, universe. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes. I am an elevator mechanic. FML
Today, I was on the elevator going up to a meeting, and the elevator was getting more and more crowded as we went up. After about ten people got on, they all agreed that I should get off the elevator because they thought me being on was exceeding the weight limit. FML
Today, I was stuck in the elevator for almost two hours. Where was the elevator mechanic? Next to me in 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 sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck. After waiting awhile I looked at the screen to see what floor I was stuck on, only to realize I hadn't pressed a button so I had just stayed on the ground floor. FML
Today, I got trapped in my building's elevator for over an hour, with my dog who I had been rushing outside with because he had explosive diarrhea. FML
Today, the rollercoaster I was on stuck upside down for a few minutes. I shat myself in terror. Then, gravity took effect. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator with my boss and two other coworkers. To lighten the mood, I tried telling a joke. I forgot the punchline halfway through and ended up awkwardly trailing off. We still had 20 minutes to go before maintenance rescued us. FML
Today, I got stuck in a small elevator. It started to violently judder up and down after I pressed the 'Help' buzzer. The man on the intercom wouldn't stop laughing at how my voice was jumpy from the juddering movements before he called for help. FML
Today, the elevator got stuck in between floor 4 and 5 at my doctors office. I had been having violent diarrhea. It was the reason I was at the doctor. Elevator was stuck for 35 minutes. During that time, I diarrhea'd in my pants twice. There were seven other people in the elevator. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He's lucky that "K" is right next to "L" on the keyboard.

to state the obvious - if OP took fewer elevators and more stairs, perhaps there wouldn't be a need for "weight and fitness class". So many people are totally inactive in daily life and then go to a gym.

maybe op is unable to take the stairs. they could have difficulty walking or be in a wheelchair.

Hopefully OP's not claustrophobic! I know I'd be terrified from claustrophobia if that happened to me.

And use the the electric wheel chairs in the stores to get to the dietary supplements.

Hey now, I used to be a pudgy bastard back in the day, but through rigorous exercise and diet I am no longer "Mr. Fat Boy". I'm now Mcfeelii with two mother ******* "i's" world.. Haha.. Naw.. I have a fast metabolism so I'm just lucky.. But see, OP, you can do it! Just imagine the person you want to be and treat your body like a temple. You'll be the queen of the world one day, you just need to work towards it. You are making a change, that elevators just jealous.

That's when you scream mightily and wrench open the doors. You could also break open the roof and pull yourself up the elevator cables. All that exercise must be good for something, you know.

At least you could have done jumping jacks or push ups. It wasn't a total loss of time. It would have been really awkward if other people were trapped with you though.
eternal_malaise 10
Or develop some elevator-specific moves and start a new "elevator fitness" craze. The video for Gangnam Style comes to mind.
LaurenLo 17
Jumping jacks or any kind if jumping sounds terrifying in an already broken elevator!! And #35 I actually laughed when I read that haha
ambitiousnygrl 17
OP could have done sit-ups though. Imagine how many they could have gotten in while waiting for the elevator to start back up.

At least you're going to the class!
tashapasha 11
How about taking the stairs.. If you would automatically do that you probably wouldn't need this class..

Depending on how strenous their workout, or how many floors they have to go up they might feel the better thing to do is take the elevator. Myself, I would, since my asthma likes to trigger climbing stairs, but not as much on stationary activities... (and yeah, I do now have an inhaler, but I didn't always. which is how I found this info out)
