Today, I got stuck in an elevator. I called the fire department and told them where I was. They said they'd be right there and not to panic. It's hour 6. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was stuck in my apartment complex's elevator. I was shouting out for help when a voice came screaming, "This is the fire department." I was relieved until he said, "Just kidding." FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes. I am an elevator mechanic. FML
Today, I got stuck in my building's elevator. I pushed the emergency button, which made a ringing noise. After about half an hour, I heard someone yell, "Stop pushing that button, my kids are sleeping." 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 got stuck in an elevator. The help-line told me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I had a headache, my legs were stiff, and my date must've thought I stood her up. The tech finally arrived, pries the door open, then rudely asked, "Why didn't you do that yourself?" 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 got stuck in a revolving door and had to be rescued by the fire department after about 30 minutes of walking in circles with no open exit. At least they got a good laugh out of it. FML
Today, I got trapped in a glass elevator at the mall. My father walked right by the elevator, laughed and went into a store. A fireman got me out. 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
Today, after being trapped in an elevator for 4 hours, I really had to pee. Just when I decided to pee in the elevator shaft, the lift doors opened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope OP has water. Dehydratation is your worst enemy!

Hopefully OP isn't stuck in the elevator with a crazy person.

The fire department is ready at all times don't worry about them not getting there it's their job even if it's six in the morning
meli1195 31
apparently they weren't ready this time, seeing as how OP has been waiting for 6 hours
badluckalex 23
Op has been waiting for 6 hours for the firemen to come, they aren't saying it's 6 in the morning.

OP should call back, then order a pizza and see which gets there first. See who really does their job.

That might work, but how is the pizza guy going to get to the stuck elevator?

Or maybe just not told them you were stuck at all. Not a high priority.

That would also be a much cooler story to tell ^^

16, so you mean to call them just to let them know you're in a perfectly well functioning elevator?

So the fire department responds quicker if the elevator is gay?

What do you do if you have to use the restroom?
meli1195 31
well when you're stuck in an elevator with no help near on the horizon, any corner of the elevator can become a bathroom
redstone7693 29
or you could just go on the top and shit down the shaft lol

Once my elevator stopped for about 5 seconds while I really needed to use the restroom and I was so afraid of getting stuck in that situation that I now always use the restroom before leaving the house.

Call back and say you're suffering from a panic or asthma attack - medical emergencies will get prioritised...

yeah lying to them is the answer
countryb_cth 38
After 6 hours of waiting, lying clearly is the answer.

I'm surprised your battery isn't dead by now. Hope you get out soon!

At least he has cell reception to post this and do other various things.?
ThongWarrior 17
Have been stuck in an elevator for 6 hours straight and life is in danger? Why not post about it in FML....
rossea 21
He probably got out sometime after that and posted it as an FML as his past self? Idk
MrConcise 35
Err, he was stuck in an elevator for six hours. Past the initial 30 minutes of panic, that'd leave another five and a half hours to be excruciatingly bored.
ksks1234 33
If op is on hour six and has been entertaining himself for the past 5 1/2 hours, his battery must be super low. As soon as his battery dies, the real emergency begins.
MrConcise 35
You could always play with "Calculator" and watch your battery last for an obscene amount of time. ;)

Good thing there's no fire.
StickyPickles 33
Time to call back maybe?
Exodiafinder687 58
Hey I just called you. And this is crazy. But I'm still stuck here. So save me maybe.

OP, are you stuck alone or are there others with you?
