What would you do if you'll be stuck in an elevator?

Definitely, I will shout and cry for help. It is a normal thing to do. I won't feel a nerve wracking moment. I guess it is a matter of presence of mind.

hi:) mostly inside an elevator there is no mobile signal, so more likely you cant text someone, but There is usually an alarm button on every elevator, which will help signal others to the elevator incase no one can hear you scream.There is sometimes a phone, connected to the outside world, that usually calls the service company of the elevator so you can report what happened to you, but mostly you aren't alone inside so if there's someone with you then it's not that frightening, just in every situation like that always be calm, because if you panic you can't think clear.

Press the alarm button. Then, if I was alone, I'd probably fall asleep until help came along rather than sit there and be bored. If there were other people, I'd probably have to stop them panicking, since confined spaces don't really worry me and I'm one of those annoyingly calm people. Then I'd probably have to sit and listen to them for ages (which would drive me up the wall, most likely). Alone's definitely better.

LOL I was stuck once in an elevator with my son. At first I was not alarmed but then the doors opened and we were stuck between floors. I was trying to contain my composure as my son was very young and I did not want him to panic. We were there for about 8 minutes before the Firemen came to help us. My mind was thinking what if the elevator suddenly drops, although we were only between 3rd and 4th floor, I could not help but to think that we could be crushed. I could sense my son scared but I kept him as clam as possible. The sad thing is that a ladder was lowered and we had to climb up the ladder to get out. This was at his dental office where because of his braces we had to visit monthly. From then on we took the stairs.

i will just stay calm. sooner or later someone will hear my call for help. stay calm, this is the name of the game.

in elevators they have a emergency button. I will press that they some will come and rescue me. Now for what I will not do.I will not panic or scream that why I will get scared

I will definitely freak out if ever I get stuck inside an elevator. I think the only thing that I would do is to press the alarm and to pray real hard. I hope it won't happen to me.

I really have no clue what I would do if I was stuck in an elevator. Luckily, it has never happened to me yet, and it's not something that I hope will ever happen to me. It's certainly not something that I wish for. But, if it did happen, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely go a little insane after a while.

i too have not experience the same being stuck in an elevator. i guess, with so much gadgets we enjoy nowadays, we won't be bored inside the elevator or we won't be stuck for so long when that happens.

I always have this fear when using elevator to get to our office,not to mention that our office is on the 14th floor. Okay it's not that far from the ground,what scares me is most of the time I am always alone when using the elevator since my work time is graveyard shift and we're the only people using the whole building (only us in that 14th and 15 floor using the building on that graveyard shift) One more thing is, the whole wall is walled with mirror and sometimes gives me a creeps too, imagining to see a shadow besides me or any image might appear If ever that will happen...I will surely cry have a good day :) jaiho®

I have also that thought itn my head, each time I get into an elevator, what will happened if I get stuck. So far it has not happened. I honestly do not know what I'll do. I do hope I have a cell phone so I can call someone for help.

if this happens to me then i would like to do chatting or mylotting all the time to remove stress and wait for the people to help me out and also i would take suggestions from my fellow mylotters.

Oh this situation already happened with me so many times that I don't remember how much time. The first time I remember that I got stuck on the elevator with my family and we press the emergency button and someone came to help us. The last time, I got stuck alone (the first time that this happened to me). I pressed the emergency button and a guy came to help me and took me out off there. I don't have scary of this situation, so, for me, don't have any problems. But, if someone don't like small spaces, this can be really suffocating.

What else to do but to shout loudly for the help. But after realizing that it is of no use then just to prey God for his help.And just carry on sweet waiting to start the lift normally.

It would all depend on who or what was stuck in the elevator as well. If it was some strangers then obviously I would get to know them to pass the time and pray that the movie the devil does not come into action.

Press the emergency button and wait patiently for help. Isn't that what they tell us to do? S'not like I have the power to do anything else anyway.

If that situation happened to me, I guess the best thing I will do is not to panic.You will lost your judgement if you get nervous.Anyway in all elevators there's a button to press in case of emergencies to attract attention.Good day my friend.

I haven’t experienced this one yet and hope it will never happen. I’ve watched the program “Worst case scenario” from discovery channel wherein it is demonstrated what a person should do if ever he’ll get stuck in an elevator. Worst case is that if the elevator’s cord snapped and fall. Probably I’ll follow what I can remember that he did there.

That will NOT happen to me (hopefully) I will be so scared if that happens and will that I'll be out soon, that the elevator will be working..I hate elevators!

It happened to me when I was working as a call center agent. Our office is located on the 5th floor of the building. So I have no choice but to use an elevator everyday. Well I remember that time the weather is not good if I am not mistaken there is a typhoon that day. My shift is from 10pm-7am that night. Actually that time, I have a hesitation of using that elevator since there are no electricity in the nearby streets from my office. But when the elevator opened, there are 7 person inside so I just entered. when we reached the third floor of the building, suddenly the lights turned off and we just felt that the elevator is not working. We didn't panic except for a little girl with her mother inside the elevator. We can't ask for help since our cellphones do not have any signal. I just pray for the electricity to come back so that we can get out from that elevator. Thanks God after 5 minutes of being stuck inside, the electricity came back and we all feel the relief.And the rest was a history. Well that is one of the unforgettable experienced I had. after what happened I think it took me 1 year before I was able to use an elevator because I am afraid to happen that again.
