Are you scared of elevators ??

I have always have this apprehension about being pulled up by iron wires cramped in a cage.I a not sure how many elevators are serviced and maintained properly.

no i am not scared of elevators...but when they make noises while your in it then it scares me just a lil bit. Me and my husband were in an elevator couple weeks ago with emma and he brung up the subject of what babies must think of elevators. they go in and the door closes and next thing they know the door opens and they somplace new. lol

No, I've never been scared of elevators. I like the kind that go up on the outside of a building and has the glass walls so that you can look out. The highest elevator I ever took was either the Washington memorial (obelisk) or the space needle at Niagara Falls, it didn't bother me a bit.

I'm a little afraid I guess. I worry what would happen if it would ever get stuck. I'm a little afraid of enclosed places. I think if one would ever get stuck I would freak out. The elevator where I worked used to get stuck alot. I would always avoid it and take the other one that never broke down.

Yes I am at times. About 13 years ago we went to hospital to pick up my cousin that just had a baby and the elevator got stuck for like 20 min (it felt like 20 hours to me) it took me a long time to get over it I would walk up the stairs refusing to get in a elevator. I still have a strange feeling when I go in one.

I have a small fear of elevators, mainly because I start thinking about nothing holding me up except some cables once I get on them, and nothing but air beneath me... kinda creepy but I'll still use them.

Heck no. My son craps himself when we go on them, I recall the first time. Poor thing, he placed his foot on it and then jumpt back and tried to run away. My wife told him he had nothing to be scared of, I just picked him up and placed him on it and he smiled. (he still doesn't like 'em) ~Joey

i am abit paranoid of some elevators if i am alone. but if i am with others i dont really mine. such as yesterday i went to the hospital with my fiance and mother-in-law, we used two elevators and had no issues at all. but when i am at university and im alone i dont really like it, as the uni ones break down alot

I also used to be scared of them when i was younger.My parents used to go from elevators and i used to go from stairs.I used to get exhausted by the time i reach the top floor.Later with the passage of time I overcome my fear.Now a days i like elevators.Now i never go to those buildings which don't have elevators.

I am not scared of elevators. My department is in 15th floor and the office is in 11th floor. If there is not elevator, then I will be worried. The elevator's accident hardly happens in my opinion. But it does give us convenience and it can save the time.

Hello dear Sissygrl. When I take the elevator, my heart always feels up to the throat when the elevator starts up and down.

No and my little girl she is afraid of the elevator but she loves to play on it go figure that one out lol, When we go to the mall she always wants to go on the elevator or esculator and yet she feels uncomfortable in them....

My autistic daughter used to scream all the way up and all the way down.

Elevators don't seem frightening at all despite all the horrid stories I heard about them. Frankly ,I haven't been on one for 10 years, because I live on the first floor.I did however listen to the advice of a friend and climbed 10 floors just to get to an idiot that would pretend he is not home.Then I had to climb down 10 floors,now that's much more frightening hehe.

honestly speaking, i never have a bad experience riding an elevator before... so i'm not really scared of that... but if there is an escalator, i would prefer to use an escalator rather than an elevator... unless if it is really really a long ride... then i have no choice but to use the elevator...

I use to be scared of elevators when I was younger (A whole lot younger that is) but now I perfer the elevator some times I take the stairs but more often elevators

I used to be scared...in fact I did not even know how to operate it! Was a simpleton then. But these days as I attend conferences in big hotels here and abroad, I have learned how to do it and get rid of the fear...otherwise I'll not survive it. But thankfully in our city, we don't have many elevators to be in, so until the next ride. There will always be first times, and looking back, for me it was crazy but fun...

Hi,there! I used to be very curious about the elevators when I was young but I was not afraid.Nowadays I need to take it every day.So maybe because it's very common for my daily life,I'm not scared about that.We see many accidents happen on TV or when we read the news.I think even if the equipments of the elevators are pretty good,we still should pay enough attention to it.Safety is the most important thing,isn't it? Thanks for you discussion and have a nice day^_^

I am not afraid of Long elevator.As there is a elevator in our building and we go up and down everytime.

I am not scared of elevators actually. I find them to be quite a thrill. I even find myself jumping up on the elevator when it is in the process of going up in the sky. They are jus fun to me. I remember there was this one time when it was me and my friends on one elevator. Abotu 10 of us crammed in this one small elevator. When it started to go up, the boys jumped, and the elevator got stuck. The girls in the group were panicing. It was quite a fun experience, and I believe that elevators can give other people fun experiences as well.
