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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, the workplace evacuation bell sounded. Out of panic after the recent earthquake, I ran down 21 flights of stairs, only to find out it was a false alarm. My legs are on fire, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, after a fire alarm went off, everyone was going back into the building. I had never gone up the stairs before because I live on the 9th floor. As everybody was going back inside, I followed some guys right into their suite on the 1st floor, thinking it was the way to the stairs. FML
Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
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, the elevator in my apartment building broke down. I live on the 30th floor and am still climbing the stairs. FML
Today, as I entered a stairwell, the fire alarm went off, triggering the automatic fire doors to close. The one I was walking through ran over my foot, ripping my toenail, and then smacked me in the face. 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 tripped while rushing to my classes. In a desperate attempt to regain my balance, I grabbed the nearest thing to me. A fire alarm. FML

You should just jump. It's a quicker way down, and you won't ever have to climb those pesky stairs again

What are "lift lines?" Are they like stretch marks? Anyways, if you go back down the 16 flights and back up again, you've defiantly earned a nice scoop of ice cream.

Defiantly? More like dejectedly, I'd think.

#5, it's what some people consider a variant of "definitely." It's not, but what can you do?

It's the line for an elevator. OP is probably of British descent. And it's spelled "definitely."

Are you defiantly sure?

#11, thanks for putting me right. I didn't like imagining the OP with "lift lines" on their thighs, ass and belly!

definitely

Damn perdix. You are defiantly off today.

#45, Jeez, I make one little inside joke with one of my buddies and everyone jumps down my throat for misspelling "definitely." I didn't realize I spoiled the readership with my impeccable spelling! I thought "lift lines" being like "stretch marks" was kind of an amusing concept.

Building on fire is a great motivator to get going on those stairs.

At least you had a good work out, something many people lack these days.

Yep, OP should have that mentality. I had it worse before, I used to live on 33rd floor in an apartment, and some drunk guy thought it was fun to pull the fire alarm in the building late in the night, twice. The first one was around 2 am, the other was at 4 am

Shoot him and go back to bed. Isn't that the big city way?

It's all down hill from there. Or down stairs, I suppose.

Jeez how long is the wait on your elevator lines? On an average of climbing 30 sec per floor would still take 8 min ...

But some people prefer to act than wait. If I have to wait a long time for the bus, I walk to a next bus stop, just to keep myself busy. It sometimes even applies to situations when I'm carrying two weeks worth of food.

And that's when OP should've started browsing FMLs on the phone to keep themselves busy. It's a good app.

At least you didn't get stuck in an elevator.

And it's all downhill..er down stairs from here.
