Last week I got stuck in a lift! After my experience I would be interested to know just how many people get stuck in a lift? I think I would be quite surprised.<\/p>\n
The most annoying thing was that I knew I was just past the ground floor as I could hear everyone else getting off the other lifts. And when it made a clump noise and jolted down I thought at least I only have one floor to get to the basement. So when I realised after pushing some buttons that I wasn’t going anywhere, I rang the buzzer for help and shortly after I sat myself down and read my book.<\/p>\n
Luckily I also had a mobile phone (so I could communicate with the outside world), and the book I had was to help me study for my ‘Life in the UK’ test that I needed to sit in a few days. At first it was quite funny, it was like ‘guess what, I’m stuck in a lift’, but after about 25 mins on a hot day in an enclosed space, and the alarm going off every few minutes, I was over it!<\/p>\n
By 40 mins when the engineer finally arrived to pry the doors open (to find me sitting on the floor, book in lap and water bottle in my hand), I was well and truly relieved to be out.<\/p>\n
But surely now my chances of getting stuck again are a lot slimmer now (touch wood)!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
