Never creamer, sometimes cream (sweetened, whipped, sometimes sugared and sometimes black. Removed my vote as I could only choose one.
First month at work, I got on an elevator with a co-worker. It didn’t want to let us out at the ground floor. Somebody in the basement pressed the button for the elevator, so it went there. The other person got on and we presses the button for the ground floor, where we got off.
So I wasn’t really trapped, just took a bit of a detour.
If you do get trapped in an elevator, give me a call as I’m trained in elevator rescue.
I may have been ‘trapped’, intentionally, during that class. Other than that, no I haven’t been trapped in the ‘real world’.
Also, I usually take the stairs. I have never seen someone get trapped in the stairs
I have never been trapped in an elevator.
However, I was once in a smallish old elevator that, as it rose, started making unnerving noises – at which point I looked at the weight limit posted inside it, mentally added up the likely approximate weights of the several people in the elevator, and realized that we were almost certainly significantly over weight.
The elevator got to our floor OK and let us off normally; but I was very shy of that elevator after that, and have been somewhat shy of elevators ever since, though I do take them occasionally; but usually I take the stairs.
Voted “no”, though maybe I should have picked “something else.” I felt kind of trapped until that elevator let us out, but the elevator was (aside from the noises, and I think maybe a jerk or two) behaving normally.
Oddly enough, I’ve been trapped in the stairs. They had changed the card access for the stairwell, so it was no longer compatible with our badges, forcing me to go from the fifth floor to the sixth by way of the first.
While the answer is no anyway I was wondering whether a paternoster would class as an elevator. This is continuously moving ans you step on and off it. There was one of these at my university ande were advised go to go past the top or bottomw floor as if we did there was a very high likelyhood the whole thing would stop. I did accidentally miss the top floor once I stayed very still and it continued to go round but it was quite comon to see it stopped.
you weren’t trapped, you couldn’t get out at your desired floor but you could get out.
I’ve been stuck in both elevators and stairwells (locking doors with failed card access). I prefer the elevator, which has a call button and resonates nicely if one shouts. I rarely encounter another person in a stairwell, and they don’t tend to be centrally located, and they don’t have a call button.
I haven’t been in any buildings requiring card access, stairs or no stairs.
I have been inside some with security at the doors, but once they made sure I wasn’t armed – including that if I’d forgotten to leave it in the car taking my pocketknife, which they gave back on my way out – security cards weren’t needed to go anywhere I was going.
(It did just occur to me that maybe some portions of some of those buildings required security cards; but if so, I didn’t have to go in there.)
I was trapped for a half an hour in a hospital elevator some years ago.
Since then I have continued to use elevators but there is always a nagging sense of insecurity.
I like my coffee with flavored creamers these days.
I will drink a Mocha, with extra chocolate, but that is about it.
Huh, I’ve been trapped in elevators a few times. The most notable was when i was in college, and went with two other young women to a seedy part of town to get into a warehouse (i forget why). Anyway, the elevator was a big external wire cage type, so we could see the ground. And on the way down, it just creaked to a halt. And there we were, stuck. We tried yelling. No one answered. It was a service elevator, i don’t think it had a call button. After a while, we decided to try jumping to unjam it, and that worked, and it descended to the ground, opened up and let us out.
Other times were just for several minutes in office buildings.
The Today Show had a story this morning about some of the LA Chargers getting trapped in an elevator, which is what prompted the question. I was curious about how common it was. 20% (the current yes vote) is too high for comfort! 
Not trapped, but the elevator at one building I worked at would sometimes get confused, and be two floors above where it thought it was. It was easy to correct - send it to the basement and when it couldn’t go any farther it would usually reset
Re: thread bumping for sequentialness.
No @Karen_Lingel, it’s just you !
There’s an escalator joke that no one has touched upon yet.
Did you mean this one by Mitch Hedburg?
Yes! My man Mitch. Way, way too soon.
I used to really like his work. I still do, but I used to, too.
Awwwwwww.
Actually I don’t know whether Trump’s going to duck the debate or not. But if he does, I expect he’s going to throw out every reason that comes into his head.
