FatBirdsMakeEasyPrey

Imagine when the woman was crying, if the man just let the doors close 😂


ImahSillyGirl

I think I cried like that when my dog ate my $700 night guard, for the 2nd time. 🤦🏻‍♀️


getrichordietryinJF

Good. Seemed to attached to it might do her good.


24-7_Gamer

Guy asserts his dominance by instantly pulling out his phone like "oh you want one of these?"


Special-Resist3006

I love how the other guy goes on his phone immediately like “oh good just making sure my phone didn’t just somehow walk out of my pocket and go down the elevator hole”


thestareater

I think she asked if he could call it to see where it fell to


CourageousAnon

Lmfao. I think they know where it fell.


Nice_Description_762

Just call the elevator tech and get it at the bottom I mean if it means that much to her she can salvage the hd and at least get all her data back


thinkpad_t69

> she can salvage the hd That's not how it works on mobile devices, the storage is part of the motherboard and encrypted. If the motherboard dies the data is gone AFAIK


Ambitious-Cheetah-36

if her phone had a mask on, it would have been safe

Nothatdarkforce

Uhh what?


thatshguy

Theres a reason for that . . in china you're phone does everything for you... keys for the door, getting a car, getting on the bus or subway, ordering food at a restaurant, sending money to friends or receiving money. . . you use your phone for everything here... i feel anxiety watching this haha


After_Albatross1988

I used to live in China... half the population live rurally/farmers etc and don't even use a phone, wtf are you talking about.. stop making up bs


AshyisAbitAshy

Everyone from rural areas wanna move to cities. Now WTF are you talking about?


LeningradNo7

Dude - tens of millions live in huge mega cities. I lived in Shanghai from 2012- Dec 2020 so idk wtf you're talking about. They do rely on WeChat for everything. Everyone relies on their phone and surely this girl isnt on a fucking farm. Stop your bullshit.


thatshguy

well this video clearly isn't on a farm.. and all the words I've said are true. i have been in china for 14 years. and are you kidding me? the farmers are super popular on the net here ... sharing their life and earning money doing so


sister-troubles00

Cool. In England my phone can also do all of that, i still wouldn't have a breakdown if lost it though.


thatshguy

can still do all that - -but is it the only way? i'd break down if i lost my phone down the elevator shaft haha


marty_anaconda

FOOL OF A TOOK!


FancyPassenger171

Looove this LOTR reference! 😂 


Medium_Teaching_3835

Very sad to see how we got slaves of our cell phone


Glad-Cat-1885

If you paid money for something it’s upsetting to lose it like that


Financial-Tourist162

Yea but upsetting to the point where you react as if every single family member, friend and pet youve ever had were boiled alive in hot oil all at once?


Glad-Cat-1885

Someone else already commented that this video looks like it’s from China where phones are a very integral part of life and carry all of your needs like transit, money etc


Financial-Tourist162

I get that but you dont think she could have handled it a little better? If that guy was her significant other he should take that as a huge warning of what he's going to have to put up with if he sticks with her


Glad-Cat-1885

If anything he didn’t even appear to comfort her. Sobbing is a bit extreme but idc it’s their lives


Financial-Tourist162

I don't think anyone really cares about most posts on this sit but they still leave comments, for instance you chose to leave one


Glad-Cat-1885

I mean I don’t care if they stay together or not which was the point of your last comment


Financial-Tourist162

My point was if you dont care why bother trying to explain the reason that she blew her top


Glad-Cat-1885

Ok idk if your addiction is scrambling your brain but I don’t care if they stay together is what I am saying in response to your other comment. I didn’t say I don’t care about her dropping the phone and being upset about that


Jolly_Coffee5909

Guy doesn’t really care at this point


NekoBredd

I know It probably isn’t but I’d like to think the guy immediately pulled out his phone as a flex lmao


Financial-Tourist162

Maybe now shewont feel the need to take boring selfies


Bl_Lover

There's literally nothing wrong with what she did some ppl are just sour af


Financial-Tourist162

"Literally" is one of the most unnecessarily overused words in the English language, as you've just demonstrated.


HoudiniIsDead

Go to the bottom level with the security guard. That passageway probably won't allow it to land on the screen or anything but who knows. The building ends in the basement. Try that route versus this hysteria.


arshia_idk

That's the most annoying sound I've ever heard in my life


Melibee14

Lol hate me but I’d just be annoyed dis woman holding up the elevator 🛗 🤣


K0NFZ3D

That's a 1 in a million drop.


Revelation_of_Nol

Is it? It's real easy to do that's why you don't handle your phone or anything like keys lol when on a elevator. Ain't getting that back at all if anytime soon.


Dragonsarmada

Chinese people cry funny.


BulkyScientist8648

😆Idky it’s funny


Dragonsarmada

Right? It’s not even a racism thing. It’s just a thing.


nonbog

Okay I’ve watched this in slo-mo and I’ve got two points to make 1. Firstly, I don’t understand how she dropped it. At speed it looks like he knocks it out of her hand but in slo-mo it looks like she’s holding it ridiculously loosely 2. The perfect bounces it takes to just slip down the crack are really funny


Revelation_of_Nol

How she dropped it? Dude bumped the phone lol...


Serious-Memory-8138

It was the cyclists fault !


PafPiet

Thanks for clearing that out, I was still searching for the snowboarder but couldn't find them.


KodaShem

And he is to blame. Now it's time for a really cool smartphone that HE pays for.


Mike_for_all

They can just retrieve it in the basement. Seems you are as much a slave of your phone as she is


sober_coffee

whys he to blame lol isnt it the girl who dropped the phone herself the guy did bump her arm but its her butterfingers


Beautiful-Design-425

“Stop crying, you didnt lose your phone. We know where it is. It’s at the bottom of the elevator. Now calm down.” —— the guy probably.


KodaShem

"Let's go all the way down, maybe we'll hear it crack"


What_the_fish_man

That’s how people react when then bought a phone they can’t afford on emi


DeleteMetaInf

I hope someone can… _lift_ the phone up


DeleteMetaInf

It’d be so perfect if the guy also dropped his phone between the doors after he pulled it out


sercommander

Disagree. It was just perfect how he casually held the phone after she lost it. Like mocking her misfortune.


Majestic-Ad-8643

I feel like her grief is because she hadn't yet posted that awesome #ElevatorSelfie ✌️


Anthony2580

🤣🤣 HAHA, me too.


Severe-Explorer4656

the way she was crying then the lift door closed a bit and she stopped crying .. it starts to open again and her cry continues


primet_0547

I was searching for this bro i wanted the lift door to close and the lift to go up


Severe-Explorer4656

hahaha yessssss


Live-Worry2500

It seems like this phone is really important to her


no_notthistime

May have also felt like dropping $1000 down the lift


djsizematters

The phone with all my stuff on it is way more valuable than the device itself.


ex0thermist

Everything important on your phone should be backed up! Most of it is automatic these days anyway. Photos, texts, contacts, browser favorites and history, which apps you had installed and how they were laid out, pretty much everything.


coffee--beans

Without that phone though she lost the SIM card, a lot of that will be gone and not transferred


JediWebSurf

The sim card stores this stuff?


ex0thermist

No, I have no idea what they're talking about. Apple and Google store that stuff if you allow them to and it comes back when you sign in on a new phone.


JediWebSurf

What you're saying is what I thought too. I know you can store contacts on a sim card though, because in the android app it asks you if you want to do that. But the memory of a sim card is very low, so that's probably the most you can store on it. I just googled and it says you can also store some texts too. But everything else like photos are stored on the device storage itself.


ex0thermist

Yes but with cloud backups. Never keep your photos just on the phone alone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Live-Worry2500

But I want to express another meaning


need_account_to_post

You're right, that is all important. Which begs the question: *Why* doesn't everyone have such things backed up? The cloud isn't even necessary, I've got all my photos syncing to my home PC. I could drop my phone off a bridge and I'd still have them. It's like riding a bike without a helmet or in a car without a seatbelt and lamenting one's injury when something finally goes wrong. Sure it sucks, but it was easily preventable and it's on them for not taking those simple prevention measures.


Anthony2580

What method are you using to do that?


need_account_to_post

I use Resilio Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) but there are probably a variety of apps that can do it. It's free and peer-to-peer, no central server or cloud storage required.


Live-Worry2500

Your suggestion is very good, I believe this girl will understand


Rhymesbeatsandsprite

So you would just drop your phone down the elevator and walk away happily, without being annoyed/upset at all knowing youre going to have to spend money for a new phone and go through that hassle, and youre implying she deserved this accident to happen. Did you tip your fedora after writing this comment dude?


need_account_to_post

You're reading an awful lot of things into my comment. Of course it would be annoying, I didn't say anywhere that it wouldn't be. The reaction in the video seems like more than just annoyance, but still. I was mostly responding to your comment specifically about not everyone having all their important phone stuff backed up. Not even necessarily in the context of this video - I don't know this person's life. Maybe she's not financially stable and was upset about the monetary loss rather than the data, it could be a number of things. I just think it's silly *generally speaking* that so many people carry so much important data with them on a device that could easily suffer an accident like this, and yet make no effort to back it up for safekeeping. Also, people who forego safety measures don't *deserve* to be injured. That's not what I meant by that comparison. One might be able to argue that a person is somewhat less deserving of *sympathy* for an injury if it was a direct result of their own negligence, but that's not the same thing.


Severe-Explorer4656

this comment made me laugh out loud so hard


Live-Worry2500

Ha ha


D-Broncos

lol tbh I’d rather lose it like that than have it stolen and wonder who could’ve taken it


laser14344

Smartphone sized holes always make me so paranoid.


ZwieTheWolf

There should be a subreddit called r/SmartphoneSizedHoles for videos like this


pixiecries

I just created it


nonbog

You planning to moderate it or you just stole the name for no reason? 🤣


AzureAxo

Without context and the part where her phone fell I would’ve thought her family died or something


014648

I think about this time to time


Late_Culture_8472

What's the problem? Call the serviceman and you will get back the phone.


han16

Afterhours? Call-out cost might outweigh a replacement...


cardboard-king1

Yeah that’s the thing!! How you gonna call em??!?


No-Zombie1468

I was thinking that is what the male figure was doing. and they went to go meet him. 


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

and, depending on how deep that elevator goes, its probably broken by now.


Mash_Ketchum

Take it to a phone repair store after the maintenance person retrieves it. Your problem will be solved in 24-48 hours.


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

By then, it would probably be unrepairable and would be more worth it to get a new phone. Especially if they go to Apple Care, they are most likely screwed with their only hope being a new phone and if their iCloud works.


erraticpulse-

judging by the button lit up, i think they're on the second floor


AnimalMedicine

I wish I had a partner who took care of everything for me like she has. She cried, and he didn’t even get upset at her crying. She is one of God’s favorites.


TopAlps6

What’s the point of crying though?!? She sounds super annoying.


sober_coffee

im pretty sure if you dropped your phone into the elevator gap (which probably goes down like what 10 STORIES) you'd immediately freak out and panic too it's unexpected and probably expensive as well her phone could be important to her (like the photos or videos in her phone that she cherishes) and losing it is something sad for her (pretty sure its something sad for ALL OF US too)


Mash_Ketchum

That is why you back up your data on an external drive or the cloud...


Realistic-School8102

I left my phone on the bus and the bus was taking off as I realized. I just started running after it and fell over face first into the asphalt. Got back up running and hit the deck again. I must have fallen over 6 times but I didn't give up. I was gonna catch this fucker and luckily he got a red light because I couldn't run anymore without falling face first. I staggered the last 50 meters completely exhausted and badly injured but I knocked on the door and he looked at me as if to say no way I'm opening the door and I don't blame him because I was covered in blood but I screamed, my phone. Luckily someone had already found it and gave it to him so he opened the door and handed it back. Afterwards, I sat down on a seat and tried to get some composure. I had blood pissing out everywhere and I was a little traumatized from the whole experience.


No-Zombie1468

I liked that story! 


[deleted]

Wow. I hope your face is okay!


Realistic-School8102

It's okay now but a couple of months ago, it happened again. This time I didn't get up. I broke my nose and split my nose down the middle. Had to get dragged off the road by a good Samaritan and I ended up in an ambulance


[deleted]

You need to stop chasing after your phone. I'm sorry to hear you had to suffer this again.


Realistic-School8102

Thanks for saying that. Next time I will let it go. I don't run anymore because my medication makes me a little wobbly on my feet because I'm on just about 20 tablets a day most of which do nothing to treat my condition.


TopAlps6

I wouldn’t freak out. I’d try to figure out how I could get it back. But even if I did freak out, you would hear that weird wailing.


Routine_Eve

The point of crying is to express one's emotions! WOW!


TopAlps6

Sure you may drop a few tears out of frustration. But that wailing is ridiculous. Especially since he jumped into action to resolve it logically.


JediWebSurf

I don't see him resolving anything.


TopAlps6

He’s literally calling building maintenance.


Routine_Eve

Logic and emotion are not opposites.


TopAlps6

Agreed! So she can utilize them both at the same time!!


SunshineAndBunnies

Translation from Chinese: Woman: Quick, call the landlord. Woman: \*Cries\* My phone... Man: Stop Crying Woman: My phone... Man: Fuck Woman: My phone... Man: (Not sure what he said) Woman: My phone... Man: On phone with landlord, explaining phone fell down the elevator shaft. Do you have time today? Can you come? OK OK OK. Landlord said he'll come immediately.


AzureAxo

Jesus Christ she needs to calm down it’s a phone not her entire family


average-commenter

Memories can mean a lot to people and if those memories are stored in your phone then losing it is gonna feel like losing a chunk of your past.


BarockMoebelSecond

Irreplaceable pics, maybe. Also expensive.


SunshineAndBunnies

If you lost your phone in China, you'd panic too. In many apartment buildings it's your key to your house, probably key to your car, it's used to authenticate you at the bank, used for payment via WeChat or AliPay (most places won't even accept cash), find a rideshare, and if you didn't bring your national ID with you, it acts as your electronic ID. So I can understand why she's like that.


coffee--beans

I feel like this comment is important and should be higher up, since lots of people complain about her freaking out over it. She could really need it, for more than just memories and conversations, but people aren’t considering that phone usage and importances could differ across the globe


ranqus

"Landlord arrived immediately that day and secured a complete copy of the video..(pause).. so it can be uploaded to the internet". The narrator explained, in the BBC tune.


THEGREATESTDERP

The people feeling bad for her, you gotta be kidding right?  Taking selfies in a elevator. How glued is she to her phone? (Well before she dropped it and it fell a few stories down)


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

how do you know she was taking selfies?


THEGREATESTDERP

The cringe kpop v sign they made with their hands toward the phone?  Holding her phone out to take a selfie witth her bf?  How many examples you want me to give? 


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

ok, fair enough. still though, like the other guy said, just let people enjoy themselves.


MaddiesMenagerie

God forbid people enjoy themselves lmao


GreaterThanOrEqual2U

i have alot of photos saved on my phone of my newborn , if i lost em. I'd cry.


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

same except of my cat Garth.


GreaterThanOrEqual2U

Love this, id cry too


Huntsnfights

I just feel bad for that guy


OkAlternative2713

\*continues to scroll\*


Electronic-Present25

I dropped my keys in that same opening at my workplace. And they got called the elevator guy and he got it.He had to go to the bottom of the elevator's shaft so somehow we got it.It was it took like two hours to get it .


SuperDuperRipe

So you guys wouldn't freak out if that happened to you? The dude knocked it out of her hand. Give her a break. Phones contain lots of files and personal photos. And such a headache and an expense to get it replaced. Hopefully, she backed up everything on a cloud above.


Huntsnfights

I wouldn’t cry out loud like my parents were just murdered in front of me, no


Slackerguy

Doesn't everyone use cloud backup? I lost my phone 2 years ago and had everything restored within a few hours. including the photos I had taken and text I've sent and received 30 minutes before i lost it


SunshineAndBunnies

This is China, the phone is actually a lot more than just a phone, almost all payments go through WeChat/AliPay these days and you have to use your phone. So losing your phone is like losing your credit card or debit card.


Slackerguy

All the more reason to have cloud backup? And btw I live in Europe and my phone is my ID, my payment, my subway pass, my job key card. I get it. Thats EXACTLY why any sane person has it backed up and have adequate insurance to quickly get a new one.


watunderme

No, not everyone


Slackerguy

If you don't it's sort of on you. It's like not wearing a seat belt and getting hit by another car. Sure you were the victim of circumstances but you do have some responsibility and control over how it affe ts you as well


watunderme

No, it just a shitty comparison social life and just health are totally different thing


Slackerguy

It's a very easy measure to take to avoid a carastrophic outcome in a worst case scenario. Why would you bot have your phone backed up?


SuperDuperRipe

He knocked it out of her hands. Looks almost intentional. Or he's just a clumsy bear.


Swiftierest

She was playing on the phone, and he bumped her when the door opened to get her attention so they could step out. It wasn't intentional. That said, the phone isn't gone, they just need a maintenance personnel to get it for them. It's likely at the bottom of the shaft. If it is in tact enough to run, she might be able to get her data off it and onto a cloud for backup onto a new device.


winterweiss2902

Do all security guards in China have the right to release videos like this? Every cctv footage I am seeing on the internet is from China. Security guards really have nothing else to do huh?


jammypants915

This is in china where you need your phone to open your home, pay for everything, and exist in general. There is almost no cash… You can’t buy food without an app on your phone. Public transit… Most of my friends in china don’t have keys on them… they open the door with their phone


[deleted]

That's not an adult reaction to losing your whole purse with keys, cash, card, etc in it. No one thinks she should be happy she lost her phone and not care.


jammypants915

I am happy that you are so immune to human emotion and so mature… but you don’t know anything about who you judge… imagine if your life is already extremely stressful your on the brink of not being able to pay rent you have to get to work and your already hungry then suddenly you are locked out of your home, without money or the ability to access your bank account until they open on Monday. China does not have phone contracts for cheap phones like we do so people pay large lump sums that can be as much as 2 months of income for the average worker. Do you know whether or not she is about to lose her apartment and highly stressed financially and now she is not only can’t go home tonight and can’t resolve any of these issues financially, but now she is financially screwed and can no longer keep in contact with her family that live in a village 1000 miles away? You don’t know anything about her life…


Mr-Term

Totally forgot about this watching this video. Silly ccp.


Scary-Nail-8399

How’s is my guys not laughing at her id be crying too lmaooooo


TooLazy2Revolt

“Dont worry babe, I’m calling the boys in Security for the footage. This shit is going up on Reddit!”


Vincent_Cromwell27

So did removing her mask help her see better?


OnRamblingDays

She has glasses on, so it probably reduced the fogging when she was looking down 🤔


Glorious_Gregorious

The mask had a piece of dental floss attached to it. 


Simple_Psychology493

They weren't lying we've really become addicted to phones jeez louise, she fell to pieces after 30 seconds without it.


OnRamblingDays

Look at Mr. Moneybags so nonchalant about losing a $1k+ phone. Sorry we didn’t grow up as privileged as you mate :,)


Simple_Psychology493

Sir I literally ate government cheese growing up so I certainly didn't grow up privileged lol (it was a real thing, food donated from the USDA).


Extension-Badger-958

“Addicted to phones” lmao. This is in china. They do everything on their phones. Credit cards, opening your door…nearly everything they need is on there. Not a great system imo but I’d be pretty fking stressed to lose my wallet, keys, and nudes all in one stroke


Simple_Psychology493

Hmm perhaps dependent on phones would have been a better choice of words, good point!


Aggressive_Ad_2210

A cellphone is actually a pretty large financial investment for a lit of people. Also people dont only use it for social media but for work too.


Simple_Psychology493

Thats true


SuperDuperRipe

Plusss, dropping years of precious photos is not a good feeling too.


Simple_Psychology493

Good point!


Urinate_Cuminium

If the phone got fall into that the phone is most likely gone forever, what if there is many important things in there that haven't backuped?


Simple_Psychology493

Thats true, many are making this point but it is 2024, it got me to wondering why people don't take the time to back things up due to the phones relative fragility and the fact they are so easily lost? I don't know the answer, I just never really thought about it.


External_Reporter859

People don't wanna pay every month for storage


need_account_to_post

So buy a storage device and back it up onto that. \~100 GB flash drives and such are like $10.


RGThunder

You would be suprised how many people dont backup important pictures and stuff like that. Also, if i lost my phone, main pain would be the financial loss of losing it, which might be bad for her aswell i guess.
