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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the elevator in my apartment building broke down. I live on the 30th floor and am still climbing the stairs. 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, I'm severely hungover. Upon returning home, I came to find that both of the elevators were out of order. I live on the 12th floor. FML
Today, after climbing eight flight of stairs due to electricity outage, I got to work only to find the office locked. FML
Today, I finally sought help for my crippling fear of elevators. When I arrived at my new therapist's office, I found the door to the stairs locked. To get to my appointment on the third floor of the building, I have to take the elevator. 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, 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, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. FML
Today, the elevator broke in my dorm and won't be fixed for several days. I live on the 26th floor. FML
Today, my neighbor told me to stop pushing the elevator buttons and opening doors with my feet. I bitched him out, because he's been making a huge issue out of it for months. Right after, I realized I forgot my keys inside and he's the only person around who could let me back into the building. FML

Will you all just shut up? "This isn't a FML" is just a stupid excuse just to spit at these people. I really hope you "not FML", "you're fat, you got some excerise, don't bitch" people get your knees busted and be forced to climb 17 flights of stairs. I would pay to see that happen. Besides, climbing 17 flights of stairs, TWICE, WILL get you tired. No matter how slim/fat you are. And it wastes your time. Let's see you people climb 17 flights twice, I bet you would whine as well, ******* retards.

I think it's funny that a lot of the commenters on here can't add. :) I keep very active and go up two flights of stairs - 20 steps each - to my apartment every day, several times a day usually. And I still get a little winded, even though I've been doing it for a couple years now. And that's just two flights, not 51. Even a steroid-pumped bodybuilder would be tired after that much climbing. I bet you'll remember the keys from now on! That really sucks... This is why I'd be wary of living in a high-rise apartment building.
