Who here has been stuck in a lift when it decided to stop working?

We've got a notorious set of lifts here, and I've only just escaped after being trapped in one for the first time in 3.5 years of working here.

Not such a drama, although I'm up to the eyeballs in work due tomorrow and the 30 minutes was kinda crucial. There were 4 of us in all, 1 has a drive to the airport for a 4pm flight to Melbourne. 3:20pm now - buckleys.

It got quite stuffy in there with the 4 of us, but the burst of fresh air was short-lived when we copped a whiff of the technician. To his defence it's a damn humid day here, not the place for a sweaty man in overalls.

I was stuck in the bathroom of a hotel room in The Star City. Was staying there for a week, told them to fix it on the first day. Nothing was done. Good luck to the people that stay in that room after me.

I was stuck in a lift for about half an hour. I just sat down and pulled out a book.
It was on work time, not mine, so I wasn't too worried.

3.5 hours in a lift on one of the high rise hotel at Hong Kong.

There were at least 10 of us. Not a happy time.

I hate lift in Hong Kong, they are always very small and full with people.

On the subject of lifts



The Elevator

Four guys and a woman are stuck in an elevator. While they are stuck, they
strike up a conversation.

The first guy says, I'm a YUPPIE, you know ... "Young, Urban, Professional,
Peaceful, Intelligent, Ecologist. "

The second guy says, I'm a DINKY, you now ... "Double Income, No Kids, Yet "


The third guy says, I'm a RUB, you know .. " Rich, Urban, Biker "


The fourth guy says, I am a DIDO, you know ... " Double Income, Dog Owner."


They turn to the woman and ask her, "What are you?"

She replies: I'm a WIFE, you know " Wash, Iron, F***, Etc."

YUPPIE & DIDO are most likely homosexual

Errrm, no. Haven't read one for ages.
I think it was a Mills & Boon novel.

Back in my Hotel days I got stuck in one for 9 hours :-D
Didn't bother me at all as it was right at the beginning of my
shift and it was at Sun rates :mrgreen: We had huge lifts with
nice music playing in them all, so I had a real good sleep :smt002

Dion, the security guys were checking on me every hour or so to make
sure I was not flipping out :)
The good thing was I was in there by myself so didn't have to make
conversation with anybody.
The carpet was nice and thick so had no worries dropping off to sleep :smt002
