Have you ever trapped in an elevator? On Saturday evening last week, I was trapped in an elevator alone when leaving a musical center. The elevator seemed fine in the beginning until I found it exceeded the normal door open time. Then, I tried pressing the open door button and other buttons several times, but no signal seemed to be detected. I pushed the alarm button but I couldn’t hear any sound of the alarm. From that moment, I was so scared, really scared. I checked my cell phone. The signal was quite weak, and it wasn’t able to allow me to make clear phone calls. I kept the cell phone near the door. I called the staff at the musical center immediately, telling them I was trapped in the elevator and asked them for help. Then, I was told to press and hold the open door button a bit longer to see if the elevator could detect the signal. I did what she told me to do, but it still didn’t work. I called my friend then, telling her that I might be late for dinner cause I was stuck in the elevator. I called back the staff lady. Telling her that I was still kept in the elevator and hoping that she could send someone to get me out of it (instead of wasting time to press those buttons – I thought in my mind). Then, she told me she was going to send somebody here and asked me to wait until the engineer arrived. I felt insecure. My heart beats increased dramatically. Also, I started to feel difficulty in breathing, as well as wanted to vomit. I wasn’t feeling well. I asked her how long I would be needed to wait until the engineer arrived. She said she wasn’t able to tell me how long it would take. Also, she told me politely that it wasn’t necessary to call her again before the engineer arrived!!! I didn’t know how long it would take. I called my boyfriend then, telling him what happened and he said he was coming to me right away and told me to call the police immediately. I had already being trapped in the elevator for half an hour and the fear I had made me difficult to breathe.
Finally, I came out safely. The engineer got me out, but at the same time, firemen and police all arrived.
Poor you! It’s not a pleasant experience being stuck in one, especially alone.
Yea yea. > . < Since then, I figure that I need a little torch in my handbag.
Take care.I’m really glad you were safe at all.
Thanks God I’m safe now. 🙂
WOW! I’ve never been stuck in an elevator before, but that really does sound awful! Not a good time, I’m sure!
After that, I won’t take that elevator again, I’d rather walk.
You poor dear! I’ve been stuck in an elevator twice in my life, but only for 10 minutes or so. And my dad used to work at a hospital where the elevators got stuck on a regular basis, so I didn’t fret too badly, having heard him talk about it.
That must have been awful for you though! I’m glad you had your cell phone to be able to talk with your bf during the long wait. That must have helped.
And that is so funny about the firemen and police showing up when they did!
Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Being trapped can be quite frightening, but you seemed to have kept your head on and did a great job in a difficult situation!
Thank you for your care. 🙂
When I came out of the building, I saw there were about more than 10 polices and firemen were ready at the front of the building. I felt a bit … embarrassed at that moment. All of them were so nice. They got me into the ambulance to do medical check ups (and that was my first time to be in the ambulance >u<).
Oh no! I’m glad you’re ok! My mom got stuck in an elevator once and she had a reaction similar to yours as far as not feeling well. Does not sound fun!
I thought the end of my life. Also, I had bad thoughts about the elevator might fall off the ground. > . <
omg!!!
great picture btw lol looks like from a horror movie!
This photo remind you of Biohazard, right? 😀 I have the same thought!!
How awful! So glad you got out alright!
Thanks God, I’m out safely! 😀 Thank you.
Oh, poor you! Just the picture makes me feel anxious. I’ve seen too many horror movies too 😆
Glad you’re safe. Are you scared to take the elevator now?
HeeHee 😀 Still a bit scared. I guess I won’t get inside an elevator alone at any building which looks old and without regular maintenance.
Clever 🙂 I’m trapped in my jacket… I zipped my shirt in with it 😦
Are you safe now? @0@
Oh no! It sounds like quite an adventure!
It was a terrifying adventure. 😀
