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

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. 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
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, 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 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 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 was in a packed elevator when I heard a loud noise. I assumed someone had farted, so I tried to discreetly turn around and hold my breath. To my horror, the loud noise was actually the elevator malfunctioning and dropping a few floors. I made it even more awkward by holding my breath, and the guy next to me asked, “You good?” 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 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, there was a knock on my apartment door. It was the man from next-door, who sarcastically asked if I was alright, because he said he heard me screaming in agony. I was singing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is it bad that I just thumbed you down because of your name and JB profile picture?

33, and anyone else who thumbs laurenlovesjb down simply because of her profile photo and name, she commented a while back addressing this subject stating the reasoning behind her support. Correct me if I am mistaken in the details, Lauren, but as I recall it's because she is battling cancer and he came to visit her while she was in hospital. She said that she was not really a big fan of his prior to his visiting her, but he encouraged her so much that she now supports him.

An appropriate response from a bieber fan..
BellaBelle_fml 23
I am not a Bieber fan. I am, however, a fan of thumbing comments up or down according to their content rather than according to the person making the comment, their profile photo, or their account name.

Elevator music for an extended period of time.. Fyl.

There usually isn't elevator music in elevators just the sound of the fan
pistachiopanda 19
Yes that makes sense. Calling it elevator music was a trick the music industry used to make people THINK they would hear said music in elevators. Thank you for clearing that awkward situation up for me!

It could be worse OP. The voice could have said "Hi, ma name is Schrödinger. Is my cat in there with you?".
isallwaysme 27
it could have been me, "i want to play a game."
darwinism 30
You are correct 16. It could be even worse than what I initially imagined. Well played.

Let's just hope the elevator cord doesn't snap. Oh wait... I'm probably not helping am I?

10 - My worst fear is being stuck in an elevator, mostly for that reason. If someone pranked me like this I'd probably have a panic attack.

32 - Elevators are pretty safe nowadays. You've got 4 to 8 cables, each of which can support the elevator solo. And they generally have fail safe brakes on the tracks, as well. You might wanna take the stairs if the buildings 6 stories or less. Then it could be a hydraulic elevator, and when they fail, they fail hard.

6 stories or less, you say? Stairs it is.

Guess it's the stairs for you from now on OP, learn to love them. On the plus side after a while you can build up enough leg strength to kick that guys ass.
