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

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

Images of cellulite which dance upon my portly thighs They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts of extra crispy drumsticks trapped inside my little box My tummy rumbling wildly as they make their way across the universe

Why are you taking an elevator to your fitness class, lazy?

Probably because they want to have enough energy for the class? It's no good if you show up tired and can't do the work with the trainer, especially if the class is many floors up. Now, if this is a third floor class, unless legs/knees or lungs are a specific issue, I'd probably say you could manage, but if you're heading up five or seven floors, I wouldn't even think of using the stairs unless I was in great shape.

I think God is telling you to take the stairs...either way we all could always use the exercise...one way or another..,

And this is why stairs were invented.

Actually, I'm fairly certain stairs came before elevators.

lmao your trainer/instructor probably grabbed your shoulder and told you to take the stairs next time "buddy" and smiled and said he'd see you next week

Anyone with half a brain, and 'trying' to stay in shape would take the stairs.

"Love in an elevator Livin' it up when I'm goin' down" OP could have found another way to get fit while she was trapped for an hour.
