nockergeekSo I just got stuck in the elevator for about 20 minutes. Got in to take some mail down before the mail pickup at 4:30, get in, hit "1" to go down to the first floor, door closes... and after a couple of moments, I notice that the elevator isn't moving. Try the "Open Door" button; no dice. Try hitting "9" to go back to my floor (which I was still on); no dice.
Fortunately, there was an emergency phone, so after knocking on the door to see if anyone could hear me, I called the front desk and asked for help. Several minutes later, I was told that someone would be contacted. In the meantime, I called my parents and Z to let them know of my predicament. I'm so glad that the emergency phone worked and could get out of the building. It turned the elevator into a very spacious phonebooth, which was somehow more comforting.
Eventually, I was just killing time singing "99 Bottles of Beer" to myself (got down to 66 before I got bored), chatted with people on the other side of the door, and just generally bided (bode?) my time. Then, the elevator started moving (just after![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greenwings discovered that I was in the elevator), took me down to 8 (as I'd pressed all the floor buttons at this point), and I took the stairs back up.
Oh, the adventures I have on a Monday. :)
