Have you ever gotten stuck in an Elevator?

I have never gotten stuck in an Elevator. But some of my friends did. That must be the worst experiences people ever have. I hope I will never encounter this for ever.

I have a fear of heights and elevators, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. But whenever I'm with the family I always get dragged into riding the elevator with them, so I kinda just stand and try to look as calm as possible. If the elevator were to ever get stuck I don't know what I'd do. All the stories of elevators falling just creep me out!

yeah i got stuck once with one of my close friend but that incident happened alomst 11 years back ...we got stuck in between the floors for a moment we got afraid but then we raised the alarm and the security personal came to guide us through.......:)

I've been stuck on an elevator twice but not for more than a minute or two. One time I was with my partner and we were leaving to go to class. The elevator got stuck between two floors and started up again within a few seconds. The second time it happened, I was with my partner again but this time we were with a guy she works with. We were only on there again for a few seconds before it started to move again.

I've been stuck in an elevator a couple of times. The experience, whether good or bad, is wholly dependant on the actions and attitudes of the other people in the elevator. Believe me, it's no fun being stuck in an elevator with someone who has a fear of getting stuck in an elevator.

i havent been stuck in an elevator.. thank god! coz i dont know what to do..

i havent but once my lil sis, who was then about 8 years old just stepped into an open elevator, and before i could follow her or do anything, the doors closed cos i guess someone wanted it up or down from the floor we were on. was real scary for her, but fortunately it was a 3 floor building, i saw it go to the 3rd floor from the 2nd, so i raced up the stairs and was there in time to get to her as soon as the doors opened, and she was scared, but consoled. THank goodness it wasnt one of those multi storeyed buildings!!

I'm glad I was not able to experienced being trapped in the elevator. I might be fainting for fear. I don't want to think about it. hahahah... So many weird thoughts are in my head. What if the technical problems will not be solved in 24 hours? do we have air in the elevator? hahaha lots of weird thoughts. I don't want to experience it.

Nope, i have never experienced that before and i hope i would never will.. i'm afraid of being confined in dark, small places..

No, I have never did get stuck in an elevator. Many of my friends have and have shared their experience with me. It was usually in the university business building but nothing serious happened. They were usually out of the situation in 20 minutes or less.

I used to be stucked in the elevator too. Once I went to a high building, took an elevator from 9th floor to 1 floor. But when we got into the elevator, the door suddenly closed unusual. Then it quickly down and after few seconds, it stoped. Then we waited and waited for the help outside. Yes, it is the technical problems. It was a new building, and the elevator haven't been checked well. That's an terrible experience before we were saved by others.Hope it will not happen again.

I personally can't stand elevators. I have a very big fear of closed in spaces and heights. I try to avoid elevators as much as I can, taking the stairs instead. I think that if I ever got stuck in one I would probably go crazy and start screaming, no word of a lie. I pitty the person I would be stuck with,LOL.

OMG! I would freak out. I hate being in confined spaces for a long period of time. And my long period of time is 5 minutes. Glad you got out.

Yeah I did, it was horrible. I was volunteering at Barnes Jewish Hospital and I got stuck on the staff elevators. I had to wait half an hour before I could get out. I wasn't scared and I didn't panic but I was pretty pis*ed at that half an hour I lost.

yes I was stuck in the elevator at work once, I don't know how long I was there, I can't remember it wasn't long though maybe 10 or 15 minutes.

Yup, it was a few years back. I went to office early, about an hour before office hours, as I had something urgent to attend to. And of all things to happen, the lift just stopped midway. The lights didn't go off fortunately; else I would have panicked, as I was all alone in the lift. I pressed the emergency button and it took about 10 minutes for someone to respond. I was angry, instead of scared - my schedule all shot - it took them another 30-40 minutes to get the door open.

when I was younger and pregnant with my second child,we lived in high rise flats (apartments)and there were times when the lifts (elevators ) got stuck in between floors. This one particular time I was in there as I said pregnant with my second child and had my three year old son with me and the lift(elevator) got stuck, there was one man in there that started whinging,and complaining and saying we were going to run out of air etc.and I just wished he would shutup,but now I look back ,he was probably scared of small places or some similar problem and I really should have assured him, but at the time I didn't realize that and was just trying to reassure my own son, who wasn't really stressed anyway as it was an often occurence,where you just had to wait a while till they came and fixed it.

Now THAT would bother me! I've never had that happen to me and I'm not sure how I would handle that!

Beyond a brief hesitation...no I have never been stuck in an elevator and let me tell you...there aint nobody wants stuck in an elevator with me! I am chlosterphobic so I do not do elevators unless it is just an absolute necessity. Me being stuck in one would be a nightmare for me and anyone else around! LOL

No. I don't even want to think about being stuck in an elevator. I'm afraid of heights and being confined in small places. I know a guy that won't even ride in an elevator because he was stuck in one before.
