Go through the ceiling and shimmy up the cable like in the movies. Are you alone?

when you have to pee, crack open the door and pee down the shaft. You don't want to pee in the corner and have to smell it for the next few days that you'll be stuck in there.

that's a good point. You should probably just try to pee into your mouth, or maybe try to fill up your shoe.

Crisis averted, tromboner950 saved. And it only took... like... 10 minutes.

I was just going to fountain for some breakfast, but now I think I'll be extravagant and treat myself to some Burger King on Avent Ferry.

Nope. I immediately got out my phone to notify TWW before pressing the huge fucking button next to the intercom that says HELP under it.

I have something of a phobia regarding elevators

usually when I am in an elevator I look for hints that reveal information regarding the construction and try to position myself away from anything that could puncture the floor or fall from the ceiling in the event of a catastrophic failure

[Edited on December 10, 2008 at 8:58 AM. Reason : I usually end up in a corner by one or more hand-rails, prepared to brace for impact ]

The whole time I just wanted to go down and get breakfast... but then the elevator was just shaking a whole lot for the first minute or so. Then it lurched a bit and quit.

Oddly enough, when I got out I actually found out that the elevator had attempted to go UP half a flight... which is not the optimal behavior given that I started out on the top floor.

"This week in the magazine, Nick Paumgarten writes about the lives of elevators, and tells the story of Nicholas White, who was trapped in an elevator in New York City’s McGraw-Hill building for forty-one hours. Here is a condensed look at White’s ordeal, as captured by the building’s security cameras. "

The article linked there, lives of elevators, is a pretty interesting read even though it's lengthy. It's all been posted here before...

AT&T.

It was fluctuating between red one-bar and yellow two-bars, but that's just enough to get internets.

Also I think being on the 11th/12th floor helps. Maybe.
