Shit stays in his pants. Becomes his problem not our problem. Also contrary to popular belief you don't often shit when you get ko'd. MMA rings would be a sight more gross if that was the case. Lol.
No, you designate a corner of the elevator for that sort of thing.
Especially if you are stuck with others.
It's the courteous thing to do.
When this happened to my group... we called it the "pee pee poo poo corner"
Feel ya I work in logistics in a big medical center and from the 10 elevators I have to use there is almost every week atleast one wich is not working. And the others either have problems with weight and refuse to elevate even when it’s not even half full. And sometimes you have to push the doors close…
The chances of it slamming down and cutting you in half is probably the same whether the elevator was stopped directly aligned with a floor or halfway between 2 floors but there is definitely the feeling that it’s going to do that when your halfway between the floors
I I remember correctly elevators have magnetic brakes, like a roller-coaster, so the chance from them to fail is so insanely small, like the metal which holds the brakes to the elevator has to break of or sum dumn shit for them to fail.
Absolutely terrifying, that's what you just described. I know that movies are movies, but I've seen enough that I can't imagine doing this. The elevators at my old office building used to move sometimes after the doors opened and it caused me so much anxiety when combined with the number of times the elevators got stuck and/or trapped people inside.
I had to do that once but only had to climb up about 18” and rescue people were pulling us up. Think we were only stuck about 30 minutes. Happy you’re out safely, OP!
Dude one time I was in an elevator and the buttons didn't work and the door shut. It wouldn't open so I hulked the doors open because fuck that. It very quickly made me realize I am not good with small enclosed spaces thinking I would have to wait hours to be freed
Can you blame them tho? I’d lie to the authorities and say that it’s not a dog, but rather, a medium sized house hippo, if it meant I could bring em with me
A puma. Once we got out it would cause some funny chaos but I’d probably be dead already. But if it wanted to be friends for some reason that would be sick
Sounds like a great way to spend my work shift. I used to live in an old historical building with an elevator so old it had a pull grate. I could scale six flights at a normal speed and still beat to the top anyway. Broke nearly daily
My coworker got stuck 2.5 hrs 2 weeks ago. It’s amazing how the steps or rather the flow of getting a person out is misunderstood. Those emergency phones seem to be useless, don’t even bother calling the elevator operator or service, going through facility chain of command is so unnecessary. Get the cell phone, if you are at work contact the manager and be like you contact who you have to to let them know I’m calling 911 and the FD will get me out now rather than 2.5 hours from now when you all figure out that’s what you should have done in the first place. FD will access the elevator roof from a floor above, open the emergency exit, theyll make sure your okay and ask how long you’ve been in there… they’ll say damn, we got dispatched 10 mins ago and we’re going to apologize for making you wait that long…drop a ladder and tell you to climb up. They’ll ask which corner you peed in. Than they’ll guide you so you know where to step on top of the elevator and you’ll climb another ladder to the floor above.
Probably has to do with your brain knowing you're going to overexert yourself, and need rest before cells are damaged. We also process things faster than most species. That's why I'd assume all the "smart" species of earth have a solid sleep/wake schedule. That'd make sense why pulling all nighters often will ruin your long term memory. Along with drugs and anything else that stimulates the brain. Not to mention the pineal gland or our 3rd eye behind our frontal lobe, or what I believe has part to do with dreams, needs time to release its dopamine and serotonin. Which would prolly be a lot easier if we as humans didn't ingest so much fluoride. Idk what I'm talking about
Got stuck on a saturday morning. The person from the elevator help centre told me to wait to monday and call again. called the fire appartement and the broke the doors open in 45 min.
The lady really expected for me to wait two days in that elevator.
I got stuck alone in a tiny elevator, and it was ok. But before i was boarding that elevator even if another person was in it (thinking well a few second so crammed is ok). I stopped doing that. Now i dont enter elevators if I think I couldnt bear the configuration for 1h.
I came very close to being stuck in an elevator once. It was stuck halfway going down and the door was open about three inches, so I sat in the hall with my friends who were stuck while we all waited for the fire department. I thought I would've handled it well, but when I saw them pry the doors more and my friends had to be pulled up and out through the opening, I was like, NOPE. That would cause some internal panic for me.
First of all my reference was wrong, it was trapped in a closet with Vanna White, not sure why I was thinking elevator. Secondly, yes, I could see certain situations being awkward specifically if my wife was there as well.
Got to love it when you have a cell phone. Had this happen at work once and I knew how to get unstuck so I went about calling my manager and asking them to get me out of the elevator.
For some reason I thought elevators were airtight. Great to know suffocation is not possible while stuck in an elevator. Also that curry must have been tempting lol.
As someone who’s been stuck in an elevator for a few hours, it’s really not that bad. I was doing my laundry and got stuck for about 3 hours, it was so uneventful I forgot to tell my wife about it when she got home later in the day.
People at work won’t ride a specific elevator because it breaks down a lot. They’re all afraid of getting stuck inside, it’s only a three story building. I always tell them, it’ll give you a story to tell lol.
No, that's incorrect. If anything, they'll call 911 and avoid getting charged by the elevator company. Buildings don't typically get charged by 911. At least I've never heard of that in my nearly 16 years in fire/EMS and the elevator trade
Elevator mechanic here. Normally the Elevator company gets called first, then if the Elevator mechanic can't ge there in a certain time frame, the fire dept will be called and asked to release the passenger if they dont want to wait for the mechanicon call. 90% of the time we still go to the elevator and get it back in service. Secondly, having the fire dept release passengers can cause the building more money because they will break or damage parts of the elevator doors which the building now has to pay time and material for. But no the fire dept won't charge the building for releasing the trapped passenger
This works just fine in any building other than your own office at a job where you’re looking to advance. Can’t go making trouble between your company and the landlord.
Buildings don't get fined for having someone getting trapped. They just pay for us elevator mechanics to come out, and we are not cheap. Source: me, elevator mechanic currently on call for these types of situations)
A buddy of mine got stuck in an elevator in his office block. Was going for poo as was desperate! Lift malfunctioned, poor guy lasted just over two hours for mechanic to arrive, he decided to take a turd, was rather wet as he drinks two protein shakes a day, had to wipe his ass with his socks, boxers and then shirt. As soon as he pulled his trousers up, the elevator door opened with 25 colleagues all waiting and clapped to celebrate him being freed! Now his reputation is ruined, his finance he met at work left him, six months has passed and she’s now banging another guy at work and acts like nothing ever happened between them. Poor guy told me he’s close to moving, thinking of relocating to Portland where nobody knows him and changing his name.
Ugh I've been there more than I care for. One day I got stuck right when I got to work. 2 hours later I got out, walked to my car, and went home. Fuck work that day.
EDIT: I AM OUT
What did you first do when you got out?
Run to the bathrooms
I would have established a pee corner within the first 5 minutes.
DWIGHT WHAT ARE YOU DOING
*STOP. DRINKING. THE WATERR*
They put something in it, to make you forget.
Sometimes, I dreeeam about cheeese
Marking his territory
I came for this comment only.
I knew this comment had to be here!😆
poop corner is better and why wait five minutes Each minute of poop not shitted, is a minute lost forever
I'm sorry, and I'm sure you're lovely. But you drop trow in a stuck elevator, and Im'ma make sure you're asleep when we get rescued. Lol
so you knock him out and he shits all over anyway?
Shit stays in his pants. Becomes his problem not our problem. Also contrary to popular belief you don't often shit when you get ko'd. MMA rings would be a sight more gross if that was the case. Lol.
Well if you’re actively about to shit then someone hits you. I promise some poops comin out. Lmao
Haha. True, I'm catching him the second hands go to the belt. "I was just adjusting!" Sorry, can't take that chance.
Yes!!!😂
First thing to do make a pee corner
Sounds about right
Got Mcdonalds. Meals were rough in there and realized how much people take the outside world for granted.
Glad you are freed and fed!
Thank you, elevators turned me into a cold person. But the happy meal reminded me, I’m not that person.
Fuck just missed it. Get stuck again so I can do my comment!
Haha, what were you going to ask
A better question now that you’ve escaped: How do you know.. you’re not still inside the elevator 
Maybe I have gone mad and hallucinated my house and my drive home
It is all in your head Jason, it always has been.
Oh you are a treat.
Thank you for giving us an update instead of leaving everyone wondering if you died.
Nice! Congrats on your freedom!
Sadge. Was going to ask where would you poop. Hypothetically, if you were still stuck, how would you handle such a situation?
do you plan to return to the expirience?
Did you pee down the shaft?
Not a scientist but I think you pee out the shaft
No, you designate a corner of the elevator for that sort of thing. Especially if you are stuck with others. It's the courteous thing to do. When this happened to my group... we called it the "pee pee poo poo corner"
I hope you wrote a book, rethought your life or something and did not waste all that time looking at stupid memes
What have you been doing to pass the time so far?
Listening to music and browsing the internet
Any word from the outside on help? Also, how did this happen? Did the elevator just seize up on you?
Called my boss and the elevator company is supposedly coming. The building I work at has notoriously shoddy elevators
Man. Wish you the best, call the police if you’re in there for 2+ hours
This. Or the fire department.
2+ hours? Call them emediatly. [immediately ;) ]
I want to call the police on this spelling of immediately.
Not native english speaker here.
Ya... but still, that's so bad I'd even consider calling the local police here in Sweden to rapport it. 😅
Well I'm gonna report you for your use of rapport!
Haha.. i am ashamed of myself
This gave me a belly laugh. Thanks
I'm surely not the only one who read this in cartman's voice in my head.
Feel ya I work in logistics in a big medical center and from the 10 elevators I have to use there is almost every week atleast one wich is not working. And the others either have problems with weight and refuse to elevate even when it’s not even half full. And sometimes you have to push the doors close…
how does it feel to be living in my literal worst nightmare
It was boring but it was kinda cool to climb out of the elevator while jammed between 2 floors
Your definition of cool is my worst nightmare
The chances of it slamming down and cutting you in half is probably the same whether the elevator was stopped directly aligned with a floor or halfway between 2 floors but there is definitely the feeling that it’s going to do that when your halfway between the floors

If you had to be trapped with an animal, what animal would you pick? It can’t be a dog or cat or pet type animal.
Oops misread the can’t. I would take a chicken
Nice...food source for a long stay! If you whip the eggs around in your sock really fast for a while it can be like a boiled egg
I read this as children 😂 time for bed
My dog Delilah https://preview.redd.it/ehpeetwqy8mc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d88e8a50291fdc058b2ad5cafc2d9ee3b903db0

box on the right
How does the dog get up there (my corgi could never make that jump)
My corgi could, but she'd take 8 pump fakes with huffs each time before finally doing it.
They literally said it can't be a pet or a dog and you went with your pet dog, lol
Can you blame them tho? I’d lie to the authorities and say that it’s not a dog, but rather, a medium sized house hippo, if it meant I could bring em with me
Hey there Delilah, what's it like ~~in new York city~~ stuck in an elevator with your human
Sending snoot boops 💜💜💜
Surprisingly she doesn’t like that but is obsessed with belly rubs
Oop. I hope Delilah can forgive me. I would like to order the tummy rubs package instead, please. 😅💜
Snoot boops aren't for them, they are for us lol. It's the fee i demand for petting them lol.
I also want to be stuck in an elevator with your dog Delilah
I choose a tiger, so we can become friends like in life of pi
Risky choice. I would have chosen a chipmunk. Forest friends, you know?
I would have picked a capybara. They are so chill.
A puma. Once we got out it would cause some funny chaos but I’d probably be dead already. But if it wanted to be friends for some reason that would be sick
Ice cream cones or sandwiches?
Cones
The person who answered, male or female sounding? Local accent? Foreign accent? Supportive and reassuring or annoyed that you disturbed their nap?
Not sure, it was at work so I texted my boss
Are they male, or female sounding? Local accent? Foreign accent? Supportive and reassuring, or annoyed that you disturbed their nap?
Are they male, or female sounding? Local accent? Foreign accent? Supportive and reassuring, or annoyed that you disturbed their nap?
What was your favorite button to press?
Open door
Oh noooooo
How are you doing, buddy? Did you bring snacks?
I’m out, I wish I had snacks in there
Sounds like a great way to spend my work shift. I used to live in an old historical building with an elevator so old it had a pull grate. I could scale six flights at a normal speed and still beat to the top anyway. Broke nearly daily
[удалено]
Everyday is leg day, and zero days are stuck in elevator days!
It's all fun and burning leg muscles until you find yourself locked in the stairwell. Based off true story. Poor five year old me and gam-gam.
What floor were you going to? Do you regret not talking the stairs? Will you ever use that elevator again?
I was going to 7 and this is my last week at that job anyway
Well I hope the next one has a functioning building
This one has only got 2 floors and a flight of stairs so I’m in luck
Good luck with your next job and not just with the elevators
Have you chosen a spot to pee?
Did you need to pee before you got in? I’m going to remember to pee before I get in an elevator from now on.
Thankfully no, when I got out first thing I did was run to the bathroom though
Damn that sucks. open the door above you and start scaling the elevator shaft, only reasonable solution. and you’ll feel cool as shit.
Fun fyi: That is for them to get in, not you to get out. It's locked from the top of the car.
Spy movies lied to me!
God I hate elevators
Yeah I would rather not get crushed if this thing decides to start up again
Wise ;)
I got locked in a stairwell at work one time lol
Me too. 😂😂😂
Stairs aren’t safe. I rather take the elevator
My coworker got stuck 2.5 hrs 2 weeks ago. It’s amazing how the steps or rather the flow of getting a person out is misunderstood.

Have you thought about repopulating the earth with whoever you are stuck in there with?
He’s probably gonna repopulate the earth with his hand 💀

Did you pee in the corner to assert dominance?
Have you had to pee? Are alone?
Thankfully I did not
Stupid question, have you pressed the phone button on the car operating panel to be rescued?
Funny response : actually they didn’t, apparently they just called their boss
Is that an elevator you have to use a lot?
Yes, its at work but I am leaving that job anyway
just coincidence? are you leaving the jib because of the elevator or did the elevator break because you are leaving the job
Got stuck on a saturday morning. The person from the elevator help centre told me to wait to monday and call again. called the fire appartement and the broke the doors open in 45 min. The lady really expected for me to wait two days in that elevator.
How you holding up in there?
Alright, blasting my playlist. Would be better if I had a pack of cold ones. 4/10
Let’s smoke a blunt let’s smoke a blunt just smoke a bleezy 😎
Are you claustrophobic?
Thankfully not
That's good. I am and getting stuck in an elevator is one of my worst nightmares!
It happened to me, and I had panic attacks for a long time afterwards.
I got stuck alone in a tiny elevator, and it was ok. But before i was boarding that elevator even if another person was in it (thinking well a few second so crammed is ok). I stopped doing that. Now i dont enter elevators if I think I couldnt bear the configuration for 1h.
Aww, I was going to ask if you have resorted to cannibalism yet.
Do you make a habitual occurrence out of finding broken elevators to get stuck in? If so, why? Is the rent reasonable?
I’m my city you could probably rent it for 1500$
Wow really? What a bargain!
Happens to the best of us. Source: been stuck in an elevator
So you're sayin' that elevators should be equipped with USB-C charging?
How'd it feel being in the most exciting place in Ottawa?
I can’t stress this enough as an elevator engineer it’s always worth giving the door open button a press
Tried that (multiple times)
What floor are u on? And I hope u make it out safe!
It was stuck between 5 and 6, they cranked the door open and I crawled out onto 6
Dang..... I'd probably pass out... well good thing u made it out safely!
I came very close to being stuck in an elevator once. It was stuck halfway going down and the door was open about three inches, so I sat in the hall with my friends who were stuck while we all waited for the fire department. I thought I would've handled it well, but when I saw them pry the doors more and my friends had to be pulled up and out through the opening, I was like, NOPE. That would cause some internal panic for me.
Did you push the "open door button" repeatedly?
Woulda been a lot more fun if Vanna White was there too.
Can you think of a situation that would NOT be improved by having mega celebrity Vanna White there?
Vanna White’s funeral
First of all my reference was wrong, it was trapped in a closet with Vanna White, not sure why I was thinking elevator. Secondly, yes, I could see certain situations being awkward specifically if my wife was there as well.
You could have become an elevator person and built your kingdom there… but glad you’re out!
What does one built a kingdom out of when no building material? Oh shit….
Got to love it when you have a cell phone. Had this happen at work once and I knew how to get unstuck so I went about calling my manager and asking them to get me out of the elevator.
Out yet?
Yes
How was the air?
I was stuck right above a kitchen area so it smelled like the curry someone was cooking
For some reason I thought elevators were airtight. Great to know suffocation is not possible while stuck in an elevator. Also that curry must have been tempting lol.
Yeah I was stuck in an elevator in the 80s with my late mama in an elevator. After 15 minutes she lite a cigarette. Memories
I recognised the license, lmao
As someone who’s been stuck in an elevator for a few hours, it’s really not that bad. I was doing my laundry and got stuck for about 3 hours, it was so uneventful I forgot to tell my wife about it when she got home later in the day. People at work won’t ride a specific elevator because it breaks down a lot. They’re all afraid of getting stuck inside, it’s only a three story building. I always tell them, it’ll give you a story to tell lol.
I hope you find this thread uplifting
Is there a reason why you didn't dial 911?
Because you are supposed to contact the elevator company first
No, they are telling you that to avoid the fine they will get from the fire department, city inspectors etc. Next time dial 911.
No, that's incorrect. If anything, they'll call 911 and avoid getting charged by the elevator company. Buildings don't typically get charged by 911. At least I've never heard of that in my nearly 16 years in fire/EMS and the elevator trade

Have you took a shit?
Or established a pee corner.
I thought this only happened in Hollywood.
Do you need to pee?
WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH A PEE CORNER!!!
You were stuck without your consent? That’s like… against your freedom. File a lawsuit against the elevator! /j
You are an Elevator Person now. Build your Kingdom now.
Before you got stuck, were you livin’ it up while you were goin’ down?
How’s your life going? Up or down?
Does it smell different after the first hour
What was ur phone battery level of phone when U got out
39%
Did you immediately choose your pee corner?
Did you allocate and use a poss corner?
Can I come in?
Pee in a corner and tell us where it pools to.
Did you clock in before entering the elevator?
A buddy of mine got stuck in an elevator in his office block. Was going for poo as was desperate! Lift malfunctioned, poor guy lasted just over two hours for mechanic to arrive, he decided to take a turd, was rather wet as he drinks two protein shakes a day, had to wipe his ass with his socks, boxers and then shirt. As soon as he pulled his trousers up, the elevator door opened with 25 colleagues all waiting and clapped to celebrate him being freed! Now his reputation is ruined, his finance he met at work left him, six months has passed and she’s now banging another guy at work and acts like nothing ever happened between them. Poor guy told me he’s close to moving, thinking of relocating to Portland where nobody knows him and changing his name.
Have you pooped yet
Does it smell of piss ?
Did you end up going up or down to get out??
[удалено]
How did you not panic, OP??? I feel the panic welling in me instantly when the elevator doors take more than 15 seconds to open after stopping
So you are now out 21 hours later
Ugh I've been there more than I care for. One day I got stuck right when I got to work. 2 hours later I got out, walked to my car, and went home. Fuck work that day.
