Today, I was going down the elevator in my dorm and a friend joined on another floor. He then thought it was a good time to tell me that he'd slept with my girlfriend when the elevator got stuck. Worst 40 minutes of my life. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was riding my dorm elevator from the 5th floor to the 1st by myself. Since the elevator is really slow, I pulled my pants and underwear down just for kicks. Just then, the door opened to let a girl on at the 4th floor. FML
Today, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML
Today, I was in an elevator with my girlfriend when it stuck mid-floor. Being supportive, I went to hug her and tell her we'd be OK. Today I also learned that my girlfriend is deathly claustrophobic and her predominant reaction is to vomit. In this case, all over me. We were stuck for 2 hours. FML
Today, I woke up in my boyfriend's dorm and decided to take a shower before he woke up. I used the girls bathroom on the above floor, and afterwards just threw on a towel and ran to the elevator. I forgot to press my boyfriend's floor and I was taken to the lobby in a towel. People were waiting. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator with a stranger. We made awkward small talk until the elevator started smelling like something was burning. Turns out, the elevator was overheating. We had to spend 30 minutes stuck there, and I learned way too much about this guy’s weird foot fungus. FML
Today, I was in an elevator with my girlfriend when it suddenly stopped. Thinking of being spontaneous like in all the movies, I propped her up on the railings and started getting passionate. That's when the emergency phone rang. And I discovered there was a security camera. 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 was taking my boyfriend to meet my grandparents. They live on the 27th floor. Alone in the elevator we started making out. Turns out that there's a camera in the elevator, connected to every apartment. My grandma asked me how it was. 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, what I thought would be a romantic sleepover with the guy I like quickly turned into hell on earth when his girlfriend showed up. I had to scale the fire escape in my underwear so I could get back to my car in one piece. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What made this guy think that was the best time to tell you? What if you had decided to kick his ass during those 40 minutes

Most people suck. And some "Friends" suck even more. I feel so bad for OP.

Sex is a drug and people are addicted to it no matter how many people they hurt to get their fix.

Sadly, it takes two things that most people don't seem to/want to have. Will. Power.

Not gonna lie. If that happened to me, once the elevator started working again I'd be the only one walking out.

Congratulations on not killing him, you're a strong individual not many would've had as much control.

The elevator wasn't the only thing that went down!!!! In all serious, this guy isn't your friend and your gf should be your ex! Totally unacceptable!

I think the elevator got stuck after he had spilled his guilty conscious

Guessing the "friend" knew OP wasn't going to do anything.

I want to know if he tried!

Maybe his friend thought that this was the end, and couldn't bear dying before getting it out of his conscience?

I'm sorry OP): You have a lot more self control than I would've had in a situation like that lol

At least you had the time to be angry at him in the elevator :)

Maybe it's me today and the complete lack of sleep that I get each night but #10's comment doesn't make much sense to me. So Thank God for the Elevator or OP would have never gotten angry with his Douche Bag friend.
