as the title indicates, something happened that was bound to happen. working in a highrise and living in a highrise and using elevators every day, i was bound to get stuck in one.
well it happened yesterday at work. going to a meeting with some colleagues, we get in the elevator with 2 other people. push the 32nd floor button. nothing happens. push door open. nothing happens. push all the buttons. nothing happens. then all the lights on the buttons go off.
and we all chuckle but are maybe secretly a little nervous.
we push the emergency button and a loud bell sounds. a person comes in over the intercom and tells us to "stay calm" to which we all kind of laugh because are we really going to be in here a while??
in the end, i like to make it sound worse than it was. we were "freed" after about a minute and a half. kudos to the security desk in the building for such a quick response.
i shall keep you posted on any other near death experiences i have. any near train derailments or collisions with cabs, i'll be sure to include.
;D
