Great story
Well good thing you’re not married. Try explaining that story to your wife.You were stuck in there for some time. Glad someone found you. Thanks for the laugh at your expense.
Think of the life expieriences you're missing out on by NOT travelling in lifts....
Didn't work? Didn't think so. I've always wondered what something like that would be like - I guess it's one of those things you say you want to expierience until you're actually living it.
Paul - Thanks
Rose - It would have sound like the worst excuses ever to make to a wife. “No love. I really was stuck in a lift. I’m not seeing another woman.”
RM - It was an interesting experience and I can look back at it and laugh now. Other people have been trapped in the lift since but only for half an hour and not while they were the only one in the building.
Oh... and by the way everyone. This is not the last crazy story I have.
like wathching movie here
I claps my hand for the nice end
well I think the helper is an angel. The Mag's thought also nice and funny.
I will never ride a lift(elevator) again without this popping into my head. Thank God for that drunk dude that saved you.
Love the SOS note. I don't think you could have had any more exclamation points on there if you tried!!!!!
ARGH! I can't imagine it, i hate lifts... but i'm too lazy to climb my uni building's 3 flights of stairs :/
Hedgehogman - Thank you
Roxanne - There were more on the otherside
Marycub - If you are lucky your lift at uni is not pure evil
Well they do break down A LOT but thankfully i'm never in them when they do! But i definitely will never taken them after hours just in case what happened to you happens to me :/
Quote #1: "might have to eat my own arm to survive"
Quote #2: "How did I escape my fate you might ask. The simple answer is… I didn’t. I’m still here, using the wireless connection on my lap top to send this blog entry in the hope that someone will see it and come to my rescue."
Quote #3: "He even tried to hand me a bottle of Bacardi between the small opening in the lift doors but it would not fit and we did not have any long straws."
Hilarious!!! XD
Fantastic post! Now, picture this done comic book style! :D I await thy book, Stuart the Great!
(Btw, I liked how you subtly implanted the idea that the Dutch guy who saved you might be a ghost. ;D)
Marycub - Wise indeed. The lift might just be waiting for the right time to attack.
Sharlet - Thank you again 
Maybe one day I'll get around to doing more comic strips but no promises at the moment.
... and who knows. Maybe the guy who saved me was the ghost of a previous lift victim.
Now THAT is a story for the grandkids, also I really like the template.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahahaha.
Sorry, I'm laughing at your trauma. But that was one of the funniest things I've ever read!
I'm glad you escaped from the lift. I, however, prefer them because I have an irrational fear of escalators. I hope your story won't make me dread elevators because then I will be reduced to jumping off landings to get from floor to floor.
Did you delete my post? Waaaa Why Stew opps Sue Grrrr Stue Why? 
LOL
Church - It’s not the only crazy story I have for the Grandchildren
Aisling - It’s something I can look back on and laugh about as well. Don't worry, not all lifts are evil, only most.
Rose - Are you drunk posting again? How many times do I have to tell you... lol
Joking aside I've only seen one comment from you and its still there. I have not deleted anything.
Hi Stu, terrible experience and very well written. I'm claustrophobic, I can't stand even to think about the idea of getting stuck in an elevator. I would just go crazy on the spot and go straight to an institution even if I get rescued.
hee hee
Thanks for sharing.
I am now afraid of lifts.
Lisi - I went a little crazy in there as well and I'm not even claustrophobic.
JaG - I'm sorry. First I tell you about Mr Bobbly and now I've made you scared of lifts.
I'm surprised. Over here, every elevator has a telephone in it, that calls directly to the answering service for the elevator company. Maybe you need to be in the US Stuart! 
Cool. Our lifts are also evil. One has stopped working completely because it's too hot in the lift shaft. This is caused by the direct connection to hell not being closed off properly. The maintenance company claim it's because of the hot weather and the fact that the lifts are in a glass enclosure, but what do they know.
The second lift is telepathic and can be seen leaving the basement (carpark level) as soon as I enter the lobby area. I can try running to hit the button, but it knows that I'll never make it. It then proceeds to spend as long as possible on each of the seven floors above me before being forced by the now, bordering on violent occupants, to come down and collect me.
As the doors open you can hear it chuckle...
Amusingly written. Also loved your note.
Great story. Think how different it would have been if you were trapped in there with.. a girl! /gasp
If this had happened to me, my wife would never have believed me.
