I overheard a funny story today that entertained me greatly.
J goes down to UVU for a meeting last week. He had a projector he was taking up on a rolling cart, hence he took the elevator. Well, the elevator stalled while he was in it. So he called campus security because he didn't know what to do.
J: "Hello? yes I'm stuck in an elevator in the student center."
Operator: "I'm sorry I didn't catch that, could you repeat it?"
J: "Yes, I was on my way to a meeting in the student center and I got in the elevator and it stalled-- it won't move!"
Operator: "so, the elevator is broken and it won't move?"
J: "Yes that's correct."
Operator: "Could you just take the stairs instead?"
Silence
J: "um if I wasn't already stuck inside the elevator I could have. Actually, no, I have a cart, so I couldn't have taken the stairs to begin with."
More silence
Operator: "So you're saying that you can't take the stairs, is there another elevator you could take?"
J: "No, I am stuck inside the elevator. I am inside the elevator and it is stuck."
Operator: "Would you like me to see if I could find someone to come look at the elevator then?"
J: "YES! please!"
Operator: "All right let me call around and see if I can find a repairman to come look at the elevator but it will probably be later on this afternoon, so you may want to find another way to get to your meeting."
J: "Gah!! Seriously?!"
Silence, the operator appeared to have hung up.
Moral of the story, don't ride in the elevators at UVU. Eventually J did indeed escape the elevator, he did not make it in time for his meeting however.
