Of all the ways I can think of to start my shift, one of the worst would be to get stuck in an elevator for 30 some-odd minutes wondering if anyone can hear me or if anyone knows I’m there. Stuck. At midnight. Like a rat in a cage. Like a rat in an elevator. Alone. In the rain. (OK, it wasn’t raining.)
sheesh…what a nightmare!
How’d you get out?
well im glad your ok. but now i cant get the song “heaven on the seventh floor out of my head”
It took them almost 10 minutes to answer the bell, then another 20+ minutes for them to contact the elevator technician – who basically told me to ‘Try to pry open the doors and if you can, climb out.’ I tried. I could. I did.
Jeez. You’d think they could just put a sign on the doors to that effect instead of keeping that information a secret until someone has already been trapped for half an hour.
There was no little door in the ceiling to climb up into the elevator shaft? ;)
