Had the misfortune of being stuck in a lift on Tuesday evening at the Great Northern car park in Manchester, first time ever. 50 minutes to get an engineer to let us out, missed the first half of the concert  Sods law I always take the stairs but the door was fairly obscure. 50 minutes of listening to the adjoining lift going up and down without a care in the world  No mobile signal fortunately the alarm number was immediately answered. Anyone care to share their experiences? |

I've walked up & down stairs plenty of times, can't really say as I've ever had any interesting experiences to share.

Bizarrely I got stuck in that titchy glass lift in Halfords on the Festival Park. Using the was the only way I could get my bike to the next floor. Blimmin bike jammed against the metal plate as well because there just isn’t enough room for a bike. I had to try and manoeuvre it vertically. Blimmin glass sides on that lift too! So was in view!
I haven’t been in a lift since. In fact I’m stressed about locking a door in a public convenience!,,

I’ve fell down the stairs loads of times but never fell out of a lift.
I have been stuck in a lift though, a day I’ll never forget……………
My 18th birthday in Benidorm(naturally). 8 of us crammed into a 4 person lift all dressed up for a night in the town, me with 3 mates and 4 random ladies.
It got hot, very hot.
With each passing minute an item of clothing was removed as the lift started to condensate with young nubile sweat, being forced to rub against each other.
The girls were getting horny as they got down to their thongs and bras, I felt a bit of a prod from something at some point.
It was almost impossible to see through the steam that had been created by these bodies.
Something very special was about to happen.
Then some twat opened the door and we went our separate way.
I then wrote off a moped and had to get my mum to transfer me some money🙄

20 odd years ago, in 2001, the Glasgow Tower finally opened for business at the Science Centre after interminable delays. As I lived close by and my daughter was young enough to enjoy the please I had a family card for the place. This meant, on grand opening day, my then 4 year old daughter and I were in the second group to go in the lift to the top of the tower. My mild disappointment not to be the landmark first visitors to take in the superb scenes of Glasgow from the viewing platform was ameliorated when we became the first people to be stuck at the top of the tower as the lift broke down We were stuck up there for a good hour or so before they could get us down. Sadly, that was the start of a succession of failures that saw the tower closed frequently for protracted periods. I think it’s all sorted now. Well worth a visit if you’ve got young ‘uns. |

Place I used to work had lifts from the original construction of the building in the 70s which were notorious for breaking down. It happened once a fortnight at least. Most people avoided them, not least because there were only three storeys and it was only lazy fat bastards (mainly women, it has to be said) who bothered to use them.
One occasion, two colleagues, one male, one female got stuck for a good 45 minutes. On their eventual release she returned to the office looking a bit flustered. Turned out the bloke had decided that being stuck in a lift was an entirely appropriate time to try to cop off with her but she had fairly forcefully rebuffed his advances.
Another time, I walked past the lift doors to see that they were open with the lift stuck halfway between floors and a rather attractive pair of legs being all I could see. Being the gentleman I am I just about managed to resist the opportunity to have a good look up her skirt! She was all for me helping her squeeze out through the available gap between the floor of the lift and the ceiling but, in the event of the lift restarting suddenly, I didn't fancy being in possession of the bottom half of her while her top half carried on to the third floor, so suggested she wait for help which did eventually arrive. At least no-one tried to molest her I guess.

My university had one of these fuckers:
Apparently it's one of only two surviving examples of the type. One day, being the bunch of devil may care wacky student jebends that we were, my group of pals and I decided to see what would happen if you just didn't get out at the summit.
The answer to that is not 'get mangled in the gears of an archaic bit of machinery' or 'be transported to an alternate dimension' as we may have hoped, but is in fact 'nothing'.
However, the second time we tried it was after a couple of us had smashed a load of mushrooms. In this instance, I think we were transported to the spirit realm (and I suspect my mate Stevie Bum Fingers still resides there).

As if happens I was visiting several high rise buildings yesterday, initially I used the stairs but was out of breath when I got to my visit, lift on the way down, just checking on my phone and I’m down as climbing 7 stairs.

Sods law I always take the stairs but the door was fairly obscure.
