I'll keep this list updated now that THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT AT A WEDDING.

1.) Make adjustments to items on your person that you had been meaning to do (deleted unwanted pics off of my cameras)
2.) Check in with the emergency line to get updates on status of the pinheads trying to get you out
3.) Panic occasionally and try to pull the doors open, give up, try again, get black shit all over your fingers
4.) Stretch out on the floor, put feet up on wall, sing under breath trying not to think about urine

Disclaimers for flamers: 1. I needed to get up to the 4th floor balcony to shoot out on the reception area; if you've seen the 11000 bldg on Regency Pkwy you'd understand. 2.) The pinhead was hot but still an asshole, he blamed me of not trying to hit the open button, which I did, and held for ten seconds. 3.) Yes, I didn't predict the elevators would be closed on a fucking Saturday, but then why did they even OPEN to start with if they were shut down?

Naw, she thought it was funny, so after I realized she wasn't pissed, I acted like it was hilarious too. Then everybody got drunk, danced a lot, and had a blast.

i would have peed in the elevator too instead of holding it

That would be one of the many thoughts drifting through my head in solitary confinement.

6/22/2008 3:15:38 PM

rub one out

6/22/2008 3:18:55 PM

i definitely would have peed somewhere

[FAP]?

6/22/2008 3:34:44 PM

^^first thing that came to mind.

6/22/2008 4:01:49 PM

i got stuck in one in DH Hill one time when they were working on it. I was in there by myself though, which really sucked. so i dont really have any good stories to tell about it haha

6/22/2008 4:29:01 PM

i'd probably figure out a way to bust out of the elevator if i were trapped in one...i'm one of those people that "finds" a way to do something

6/22/2008 4:30:08 PM

Well the doors were on a spring or something because I wasn't strong enough to split 'em. From now on I'll bring my bf whenever I need to take an elevator in case we get stuck.









































































But I won't be requesting him to pry the doors open, of course.

making out in an elevator is always fun

nobody said anything about my cool pic

6/22/2008 11:33:28 PM

I would probably just try to sleep

6/22/2008 11:33:59 PM

i cant see it taking me much longer than a few hours to escape an elevator

6/22/2008 11:34:05 PM

I was only in there for 45 minutes but it felt like a day.

6/22/2008 11:36:29 PM

that pic is awesome!

6/22/2008 11:51:19 PM

I really like that pic

6/22/2008 11:52:22 PM

AS an elevator tech, i haev a little insight. Elevators keep power on the door motor when the doors are closed. The doors are also set up mechanically in such a way that it is almost impossible to open them unless you are at floor level with the door motor not powered up. Was this 11000 Regency? if so, we at one point serviced those elevators out there. What color uniform shirt was the guy wearing who got you unstuck? and was it building guy or one of use elevator techs? you know, the pinheads with 4-8 years of specialty schooling?

jerkoff

6/23/2008 12:17:01 AM

6/23/2008 12:20:18 AM

The pinhead was hot. But he was wearing a grey suit.

I'd try to sit there and meditate as much as possible without pissing all over myself. I imagine it'd be pretty quiet in that elevator. If I was stuck in there for more than a couple of hours I'd also consider finding a hatch and trying to get the fuck out of there. Of course, it's dangerous to do such things unless the elevator system is turned off.

The absolute first thing I'd do is probably try to text message somebody, lol. At the very least somebody would then know where I was, and you can get a text message out with a very very weak signal (not always the case w/ a regular voice phone call).

I'd definitely try not to panic.

6/23/2008 12:28:52 AM

No phone in my case, but yeah, it would have been glued to my head.

6/23/2008 12:29:42 AM

1) Profit.

6/23/2008 12:30:03 AM

Jew elevators don't work on Saturdays.

If it wasn't working I'm still trying to figure out why it opened.
