Like the title says, tourists at the Royalton over-reacting and verbally abusing staff. Basically an 18 year old and 6 year old were stuck in the elevator for 10 minutes and the family took it upon themselves to break the elevator doors in spite of being repeatedly informed that maintenance was on the way. They also verbally abused staff and threatened to kill the security guard. Uploading it because the original was removed and people need to see how uncivilized people act while trying to play the victim.

I once got stuck in a glass elevator in an airport for about an hour. Felt like David Blaine performing some dangerous stunt with everyone looking at me.

Haha. This happened to me at the elevator at my work... I was only in there for like 10-15 minutes, but everyone I knew that walked by had a laugh seeing me stuck between the 1st and 2nd floors.

I work in a huge power station (it's a pretty hot place) and because of that I always have water Jug with me that I fill with ice and water at the start of my shift. I like to stay hydrated. One night shift I got stuck in the lift for a little over 5 hours I had a charged battery and plenty of water and I was using the lift on the way back from going to the toilet so I didn't need to pee or poop. I called maintenance on the radio and they got the elevator people to come out as soon as they could. I just sat down against the wall and watched some movies and chilled out. I would have been pretty stressed out if I didn't have water though. I don't think freaking out is a good idea.

I got stuck in a freight elevator once and my boss freaked out and told me to wait for the fire department to come, instead of just climbing up the shaft like I usually do when the elevator breaks down. I'll never listen to that again. FD trashed the elevator and it went from being a relatively cheap repair to us needed a new freight elevator.

I got stuck in a glass elevator too, I'm glad it was glass and in the hotel lobby because it meant they figured out pretty quick something was wrong and to fix it...although they didn't fix it fast enough at all and I managed to pry it open from the inside. I didn't break or damage the elevator though like this guy. They fixed it while I was sleeping, but I didn't use it the next day.

If it was dropping slowly why did you panic? You didn't just assume that it was fixed and was taking you to the bottom floor? Don't get me wrong I would be a HUGE 'little bitch', elevators give me anxiety attacks regardless, I'm just asking what your frame of mind was since it was going down but doing so slowly.

It wasn't dropping the way it should. There were no sound of engines or any other "elevator sounds". It was as if the wires or some piece of machinery were failing.
And I was warned that this country has a lot of elevator accidents, because the elevators are old, so I was scared of the elevators to begin with. But this was a fancy hotel, so I thought I'd be safe. Still got scared shitless when it started "falling"

In my old work, there was an anti-tailgating door that was effectively a glass tube you stepped into and it rotated to let you out on the other side. I always made sure I'd been to the bathroom before getting into it. Nobody wants to desperately need a pee when stuck in full public view.

Wow, that sounds expensive and prone to mechanical failure, compared to using two doors with a magnetic interlock to prevent both being open at the same time. They've got two of the latter at the kea enclosure at the Wellington Zoo to stop the clever birds from escaping.

Yup, it'd break down with someone in it at least once a year. It cost even more to repair when someone who was trapped in it finally lost the rag and beat the bejesus out of it until they managed to force it open from the inside.

We got stuck in a glass elevator looking out over Mexico City. We should have realized what was coming for us as we watched patches of the city getting dark..The doors opened as we stopped, leaving about 18 inches of the closest floor visible at the top of the elevator. After freaking out / hyperventilating / breaking out in a sweat, one of our group grabbed on and pulled himself thru the opening, even at 18, I was too self preserving to follow. turned out to be an awesome memory of my visit to mexico..

Elevator mechanic here.
Every time I hear about this sort of thing happening, this is exactly the sort of people I picture as being responsible.
To affirm, most of you in this thread are correct. If you open a hall door you stand a good risk of falling into the shaft if the elevator isn't there. I've opened hundreds, knowing that the car wasn't there and have still been hit with the sudden vertigo that nearly topples you into it. There's a lock on those doors that should stop the car from running if broken, but these things do break down over time and have been known to malfunction. They're regularly checked to prevent this, but no system or mechanical device is perfect 100% of the time.
Now, for those of you who are afraid of elevators, rejoice! I come bearing good news. Elevators are LOADED with safety features.
In a typical traction (roped) elevator, each cable is required to be able to support the weight of a fully loaded elevator, plus the counterweights. You would need every single rope to break in order to go into free fall. Even in that basically impossible scenario, there's a mechanical safety attached by an alternate rope that senses overspeed by centrigul force. This thing basically pulls up an emergency brake on the elevator. There are also a bunch of electrical safety switches that will stop the car entirely in the event of anything being out of whack.
If your elevator stops, hit the emergency call and sit back and relax. There's a billion dollar industry revolving around keeping you safe.

I have this thing where no matter where I go, I look up the brand of the elevator. Brands like Otis, Mitsubishi always make me feel better. I assume the places that sell these brands in whatever country are well informed of the necessary maintenance etc... If it's anything else, you know the proprietors have opted out to go for something cheaper and god knows what else that entails. Luckily most of the elevators/escalators I've encountered in my travels and places of residence have been Otis or Mitsubishi, even in less economically developed countries.
EDIT: as others have pointed out two more brands I forgot are Schindler and Siemens.
EDIT2: add Kone & ThyssenKrupp to the list as well. I've never seen a ThyssenKrupp though.

Add Siemens to that list. Otis and Seimens basically own whole markets, and for good reason. Seimens introduced the first electric elevator back in 1880. They know elevators.
I've seen both Otis and Seimens elevators installed, they are both more serious about their product than just about anyone and maintenance is their god.

I'm not associated with any of these companies nor am I in the business or in any related industry. I just happened to watch that Chinese nurse get killed in that freak elevator accident a few years back on live leak and then freaked out. During this time a friend of mine told me about Otis how they invented the safety breaks on elevators in the 1800's and how the brand is considered a pioneer in the field. Then I went researching elevators. Even watched this documentary about Japanese elevators. Not much after that, I began to notice elevators/escalator brands every time I used one.

20 years or so ago I was out on Freshers' night and got blasted with this guy I met. I went to class on the Monday morning and went up to one of my classmates and said I met your mate on Friday night and we got absolutely smashed. He replied, oh, *** got back to his halls of residence on Friday night, fell down a lift shaft and is currently dead.
I felt bad about that for 20 years.
A few months ago a friend of mine told me that he'd got back to his halls, the lift was broken and the doors were open on both sides (one of those exit both ends of the lift affairs) and he was jumping from one door to the other over an empty lift shaft.
I don't feel all that bad about it any more.

this usually happens when the visual sensor or however you want to call it gets removed. The door then only responds if enough pressure is applied.
The elevator at work had this problem during its maintenance. They found out the sensor wasn't working as intended and removed it completely for a week or something like that until a new one arrived. Was pretty strange on the first days when that door wasn't immediatly stopping.

On the other hand. US auto manufacturersโ have repeatedly shown they would rather deal with the legal settlement costs than recall cars just because they explode when rear ended or spontaneously catch fire when parked because of a weird ignition switch. I hope this isn't happening any more but it has happened far more than once.
Edit: op had argued that maybe it would be okay if many regulations were lifted as corporations would independently continue to strive for good safety records in order to maintain good reputations.
Unfortunately, even in the presence of regulations which should protect consumers corporations continue to skirt the edge of basic safety considerations while keeping the financial bottom line as the most important consideration. On the other hand that is exactly the situation that the government has created. The sociopathic obsession with delivering consistent value to the investor is a product of sec rules and regulations. All of these have negative consequences for the CEO and board of a corporation and they have to balance with their lawyers how much risk they think they can afford while still making a profit.

First question : I think tcodas post exemplifies it. Same as the parent post. I think that is much healthier to think about why the family in the video area of a stereotype that is uneducated and acting like dicks, than to just say "damn stupid trashy people make me angry".
Eugenics would be relevant, although something I disagree with. JC would be more of a stretch. The point is that there is no reason to suppress reasonable discussion. There is a, mostly USA, reaction to downvote anyone trying to make a point that includes politics, just because it is politics. A story of phobia over discussing it in the context of normal life,and that is the problem .everyday life is very affected by politics ,and makes sense to discuss it under that context too! :)

Your partisan is showing. These people could be "gummint get out" rednecks just as much as they could be funding their lifestyle by abusing welfare. You just don't know, and there's probably an equal portion of each in the world.
As for regulations, there are intellectual arguments against them as well as political rhetoric. The most prominent is probably that all safety features and improvements come from the industry itself, and regulations only serve to standardize these across all products. Regulations are only enforceable and are only passed after a large part of the industry already complies as well, so the benefit that they bring is only marginal, although they certainly do help with public peace of mind. All of this, of course, only applies if the regulations are sensible (regulations on medicine can be blamed for many deaths due to slow adoption of lifesaving drugs), well-enforced, and not hijacked by businesses to reduce their competition, which happens quite often as businesses have huge incentives to do so whereas government officials and the voting public have smaller incentives to prevent them and are often uninformed. Ultimately, the relative safety or danger of products in a country is related to the wealth of that country, and not the size of government.

What did he say to make you say that? Just wondering.
Edit:and wait now that I went back and read it, I'm super confused by your response. What are you saying exactly? That regulations don't help and literally all that matters when it comes to safety in a country is how wealthy it is? And that at best regulations are good only for peace of mind?
Companies don't always have an incentive to make everything super safe, if something is rare enough of a problem, it could be worth it to absorb lawsuits case by case than to adopt safety standards that would take care of it. This is where regulations step in at the free markets failure.

From being a roller coaster nerd with all their safety switches and precautions I know this, but people are fucking idiotic when it comes to public safety. They don't for some stupid reason understand how over-engineered things are and how safe they are all the time. These are the people that watch movies and TV shows and think that it's reality, when anyone with a brain that watches knows full well what is happening on the screen is anything but physically or practically possible. It's annoying as hell.
When elevators or rides stop it's not because something is "wrong" or something is "broke" it's because the system is acting exactly how it should precisely for your safety.

Really a matter of country and of the individual case. People have e.g. been eaten by escalator because some retard just forgot to properly mount the floor plate at the top. All they had done was to stand on the escalator like they should, then their body sank into the machinery once they reached the top.

The way the article is written, it sounds like the doors just closed on her leg and moved, in which case I have a new phobia.

First ride along I went on with a Police officer was a call for a dude stuck in an elevator freaking out. Dude was drunk and there was a super loud buzzing coming from withing because of the alarm. This guy was stuck for about 40 minutes. Fire dept said they can open it but it'll destroy it and to see when the elevator tech can come in ( since the guy wasn't in actual danger). Th etech was about 25 minutes out and this was at 9pm at night. Two officers were there including my officer. The officers tried to calm him down and explain he'll be out soon. Guy lost it and threatened the cops with violence the second the doors opened.The two officers basicaly said 'oh shit' and put on their leather gloves. The tech showed up about 10 minutes later and the doors opened and buddy walked out and immediately apologized for his outburst and hugged his wife. It was intense and was a very small portion of the night life of someone working in emergency response

Bullshit, Couple of months ago I was stuck in elevator at work at the end of the day, office was emptying out, facilities staff gone home, my mobile phone back on my desk. alarm button dials some bullshit number , clearly not even a working line. lad with me manages to geta mobile reception and get hold of facilities after 40 mins (much as I tried to convince him to ring the fire brigade because they must be used to this AND at least you know theyll get there soon). so facilities say do not attempt to break out, theres an engineer on the way, but no indication of exactly when. Im thinking its friday evening rush hour here, wtf? waited another hour. it gets hot and clammy quickly inside a.sealed elevator. I was surprised how little ventilation there must be, because the breathing air became pretty crap. we decided we would have to try and crack the door a bit to get some breathing air. In the end we said screw this and the other lad broke the doors open and got us out. You know when the lift engineer turned up? Tuesday. I'm not even claustrophobic, but I defy anyone capable of breaking out to willingly not do so unless they have a high degree of confidence in exactly when theyre going to be released. What takes the piss the most? facilities trying to get us in trouble for breaking out, even though their engineer came 4 days later.... Ever happens again, Im calling the lift company first and telling them that billion dollar industry or not, they have 30 mins before I call the fire brigade.

No thanks. I don't fancy getting bisected if the lift starts moving again while I'm clambering out of it. Use the call facility, if they're being unresponsive call emergency services. Breaking out is a last resort.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:25:55 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
well I'd think twice if it wasnt perfectly aligned at a floor level for sure, but assuming the elevator is properly in line with a floor level, after cracking the doors, wait 10 mins and if nothings happened in those 10 mins, its pretty statistically unlikely to during the 1 second it takes you to jump through the gap.

A few years ago after an event there were ~15 people in an elevator for 8 people. The elevator got stuck between the metro and the exit. They were all jammed in there and looked really uncomfortable being stuck at chest level to the exit floor. I tried to help by opening the door with my car key and tried to turn this nut at the top of the door. Well it worked and the door opened, they all climbed out and i felt like a hero.
Was this dangerous? Could the elevator start moving and cut someone in half?

Would the integrity of the cables holding the elevator matter if whatever they're held on to at the top wasn't taken into account? The weakest link may not be the cables, but the construction of what's holding them there. If they're all attached to one thing and that one thing can only support x lbs then wouldn't that be an issue?

Not to mention that it's actually dangerous to get out of the elevator when it is stuck between floors.

US has good regulations but we do a piss poor job of enforcing them. Look up how often elevators need to be regularly inspected in your state. Now go into an elevator and (assuming they have their legal documents legally posted inside) check the date it was last inspected.
I used to deliver food and would check every single elevator I entered. It's safe to say 1/3 of elevators aren't inspected and maintained to code in this area.

Except when you step into a dodgy elevator in Russia, like I did. Emergency button was missing, and the emergency telephone ripped out (loose cables etc). It stopped between floors and all the lights were flickering. After 10 mins it started again after beating on the doors, yelling, trying to pry it open etc. It's easy to panic when you don't think anyone even knows you're stuck

The brakes are held on by mechanical means. When the car is running it requires power in order to hold the brakes off, so at rest the natural (or rather de-energized) state of the machine is to be held back. Think of it as the opposite of what's going on with your car :)

5 years of Security Experience and all I can think while watching this is. I'm somehow going to get written up tomorrow for not "deescalating" the situation and then I'd get annoyed and pissed about that idea that I would immediately have police there so I can have every individual there kicked out without any refunds.
It would only bring me more satisfaction if I could get them barred from all the hotels in the area so they have to use a motel at the edge of town.
-edited-
Also the moment those people left the door to go somewhere else I'd have stood in front of the door. It would of just been prefect to know that they have footage of me standing in front of the door stating that a crew along with police are on their way. Then they would obviously grab me to force me out of the way. I would willingly go with the grab and be tossed aside. And now I get to file charges of assault and look the woman even recorded it all too so that camera will get confiscated as evidence.
I hate these people.

When I was a security guard I loved when people threatened violence. It went from everyone having to kiss the rude douchebag's ass and give him whatever he wanted to getting walked out by police. The only thing that trumped "customer is always right" was "safety first".
I'd be amazed if that isn't what happens here. They could have cashed in and got whatever they wanted but the second you threaten to kill someone, most places will toss you. The liability from letting you stay would be immense if their employee was hurt by you later.

Worked as a Transit Driver for the city. Safety was always #1 it was at the top of the list with Customer Satisfaction #2, which was more about not missing stops or helping people find their way to the place they were going. But ya threaten someone in both those jobs resulted in me getting to kick you out.

You could also go 2hr to a world class city in Charleston, or 3:45 to Savannah/Hilton Head/Tybee Island. All are better destinations than Myrtle Beach, by far.
I lived in SC for a long time, and I seldom went there. However, Myrtle Beach is strangely popular with people from New Jersey, Upstate New York, and Ohio.

I wa born in Savannah and it's one of my favorite cities too. Tybee and Hilton Head aren't the nicest beaches though. I would personally say that Tybee, Hilton Head, Myrtle and Charleston are very similar in terms of water conditions. The people are what make them different. Myrtle feels so gimmicky because it's a tourist attraction as much as it is a city. Hilton Head is wealthy and celebrities have houses there but some of the golden isles off Georgia are nicer and even private. Tybee off the coast of Savannah has a cool bar scene and drinks on the north beach piers. I like it better but because of the people and establishments more than it being more clean or pristine.

Dude, I've said the same thing. Myrtle Beach and Gatlinburg are both tourist shitholes. MB has shitty beaches(but at least it's a beach is what anyone within 4 hours would likely saw) but Gatlinburg has amazing hikes. The shows and shops are worthless but the nature is great. Oh, and I did find some legit BBQ there too, but it was off the main strip.

Eh, my family really enjoys visiting Gatlinburg. A lot of good memories of walking around the strip with my daughter when she was small, and getting up super early to get to the Donut Friar while the donuts were still warm. It definitely has a lot of touristy things and obnoxious people, but if you know that going in you can still have a great time.

My family is not what I would call "trashy" in any way, we had some family flying over from Europe to come visit us. My grandma and mom decided it would be a good idea to have my European family fly in, spend two days in my hometown, then DRIVE 2 days to myrtle beach (where we've never been). Then my mom decides we could spend 2 days in Gatlinburg as it would be my birthday but also half way to the beach.
I didn't understand why we needed a trip in the first place and holy shit are both of those places shitholes. My birthday dinner was spent at Bubba Gumps and seafood is the food I dislike the most.
I don't know wtf my family was thinking.

On the West Coast our beaches are filled with toursts, trashy and non trashy alike, the beaches them selves though are beautfuil and amazing and the last word I'd use to describe is trashy. Trashy people flock to Myrtle beach because its what they know.

I mean as a guard I have no powers that are any different from a normal citizen. Not like I can detain you anymore than you can detain me. So that means you can't touch me and I can't touch you. But I can put myself in a situation on the company property that would normally stop an individual from damaging said property without being considered an aggressor. I could just passively stand there making no stance and if you touched me because you wanted to damage the property you just committed a crime. In which I just allow it to happen because fuck it, workers comp lol.

Police can't just confiscate the phone. There has to be a subpoena. I believe if it is assumed there is a felony caught on camera that gives them more of a right to demand footage but that wouldn't be felony assault and nobody's phone would be confiscated for this.

It was in St. Lucia so they most likely have different laws but in the US pulling a fire alarm in a building like this is a class A misdemeanor.
Your point about the damage though is spot on now that I think about it. Over 500 and less than 15k is a class 4 felony.

in theory yes. in practice if the phone is unlocked the cops will take it and look thru it. its standard practice even if YOU are the one that calls them for help lol. same applies to most "small" property if it can fit in your pocket don't expect the cop to respect the words of the law or property rights. keys phones, things like that.

Go on amifreetogo and you will see dozens of examples/videos were cop try to do what you are saying and citizens telling them no, to get a subpoena.

I am just saying to be practical, if you get involved with the police in anyway don't rely on the "law" to protect your rights when you can try and plan ahead knowing what they will want to seize. leave your phone inside or something and avoid the whole issue is my solution.

Then I learn they teach you that for their insurance policy but in reality want you to do as much as legally possible. So the Passive standing in front of the elevator door would of been all I'd need to do to show the client I helped and my bosses that I didn't physically touch anyone.

No I'm everything everyone wants in a Security Officer. Someone who has the patience and isn't going to fight back. I'm not here to detain or attack people. Just be a passive intrusion that will make you make the decision. They already would of ruined my night by making be do paperwork. So I'm going to ruin theirs by getting them removed. Security a boring job, and I like my movies. Make me leave my movies because you are destroying property after being told someone on their way to help. Well you can't expect me to just do nothing. I'll do Nothing while doing something, like stand infront of the elevator door without touching them.

You make no sense.
I'm a lazy guard and a very passive guard. I have a great disdain for paperwork.
But to say you dislike me as a guard because I would of done my job out of spite makes no sense to me. I'm not one to seek out trouble or act like a cop. I don't make threats, it doesn't help the situation. I don't get into people faces and I always try to keep at least an arms length between me and the individual for my own safety.
But you dislike me because I would of gotten them kicked out of the facility through spite. But of course I'd do it in spite because I know tomorrow morning I'd be getting chewed out for allowing them to even attempt to open the elevator door. On top of property damage could you imagine if they got hurt while I stood there. Oh shit the fall out would of been huge.
But you dislike/hate me because I would of made them actively move me out of the way, thereby creating a hostile zone in which they now assault an employee, so I could have a better legal means to have them forcibly removed by police. Okay understood you hate intelligent guards who use their brains over their brawn.

That's not how this works. This person was not a security guard, and is not to interfere with people like this. His job is to stand in front of the stairwell, and direct people to safety. If you had done this, you likely would have been fired for leaving your post.

Even though these people totally suck, ideally any employee in the area would have been saying, "Not to worry! There a safety on the elevator. They will be fine and they will have someone hear to get them out in a matter of minutes. Please don't try to open the doors yourself. It is very unsafe."
It calms everybody down when somebody acts like they know what's going on and what to do. Again, these yahoos may have been hopeless anyway, but in general...

Reminds me when i used to work at TSA. a kid at the checkpoint started having a seizure. His family starts freaking out
None of the TSOs are trained EMTs or Paramedics, that isnt our job. The brother was exactly like the kid in this video "IM GONNA SUE TSA!" "IMA KICK SOMEONES ASS WHAT THE FUCK" etc etc. Just making a huge huge scene
He was yelling because we weren't doing anything but in reality the supervisor already phoned airport police and the EMTs to come over. None of us can step in to help because god forbid the kid died, then it would've been on TSAs hands.
And get this: the father was a doctor and the kid was in medical school yet they were both yelling and freaking out like idiots and had no idea what to do while the kid had a seizure

That wasn't security. That was a member of the building's fire safety staff. Every building is required to have fire safety staff on site within a set amount of time (generally 20-30 minutes -- depending on local code) on each floor near the exits to direct people to safety in the event of a fire. Those people are not security, and are not to interfere with people. They are simply there to point out exits, and direct people to them.
Makes it that much more inappropriate to hurl death threats at them.

In all fairness you could at least try help bust the door open if that's the floor the elevator was stuck in, rather than just stand by and watch like a stooge, if there is a baby stuck in there. In all fairness they looked pretty stupid just standing by idly doing nothing especially when the family was panicking.
Who knows maybe that baby needs care or maybe the family is just over protective of their children. Am I really taking crazy pills here to think that they should have at least tried to help rather than stand around?
Family was over reacting, 100%, but calling them trash and shitting on them like this is fucking retarded.

Forcing open the elevator door puts everyone in way more danger. A fall down an elevator shaft is nothing to scoff at.
There was no danger present until the family started forcing open doors.
The best thing to do as an employee here is just stand by and witness the situation. If the people were not freaking out and screaming I'm sure the hotel staff would have advised them that Maintenance or the Fire Dept. was on the way and the situation would be handled safely.

I saw about a dozen people, including a baby, get stuck in a very crowded elevator at an event in NYC the other day and they (and their companions who took the stairs) calmly waited the 5-10 minutes it took maintenance to figure it out.

You know how they work, right? There's a midget in the wall behind each one, and when you pull the lever they pick up a phone and dial for help. More calls : bigger emergency. It's just basic math. And clearly a bigger emergency demands faster fire trucks and more elevator repairmen. Fun fact, the elevator repairmen's union had to petition the fire departments to allow them to slide down the pole!
If they were all interconnected to an electrical circuit that autodials when at least one was pulled, it wouldn't make a difference in response time, only the repair bill when the service tech has to replace all of the hand pulls, which would be ludicrous. Have to have some way to signal a fast fire truck vs a slow one.

Ok but seriously, how do you break those fucking things? Have you ever tried? I was stuck in a university building once which only had swipe access to get out. It was 10pm at night and I had somehow gotten in there with no way of getting out. I decided the only way to get our was to hit the emergency door release which was behind one of the little glass boxes. I couldn't punch it or elbow it to break it. No fucking clue what you're meant to do. Just as I was macguyering a hammer from shoelaces and a rubber band someone was swiping out through a door across the hall and I managed to shadow them out. Still haven't figured it out 10 years later. I'll probably die in an emergency.

I'm definitely pretty far removed from 14, and my criticism of man buns wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I've never seen or met the person I was responding to. I just think it's a stupid haircut, kind of like a mullet. Why is that so offensive? The only reason I "put him down" is because he responded really sarcastically to something really trivial. Maybe you're a bit insecure?

I was expecting a crying and freaked out child to come out of the elevator. Then I heard "JUST DO IT YOU FUCKING PUSSIES" and I was confused who would say that when they are all trying to open it. Then a grown man that looks to be in his mid 20s comes out. not crying. not freaked out. just angry. He also didn't waste any time thanking everyone for assisting him in this life or death situation, he threatened to fucking kill the security guard who could have done nothing in this situation.
Also, why was there so much stair walking? was the elevator moving but just not opening?

I was an "apartment manager" at an old-ish apartment building hosting my first open house for a couple different apartments. Someone got stuck in the elevator and I panicked a bit, mostly just embarrassed that it happened. My boyfriend at the time came to the elevator and was like, "Uh.. did you try turning it off and on again?" It had one of those switches. and I just stared at him, like.. wtf. It's not a computer, dumbass. And it totally worked.

It's much safer to force the bottom of the door open on a malfunctioning elevator without disengaging the lock. Then your friend can step through the stuck elevator (that could start moving again? I'm not an elevator technician but the thing DID lock up) and hopefully no one gets cut in half.
Why you shouldn't try to exit a malfunctioning elevator:
GRAPHIC, but heavily blurred; still two people dying.

They want to get paid. They expect that the more dramatic and serious they make it seem, more compensation will be forthcoming. After all, the staff was going to let the young hero die a horrible elevator death, until his family took it upon themselves to save him.

I helped because I'm no pussy, and that help cost me $2,000 dollars.

People honestly do stuff like this when they're checked into a hotel. I work the front desk at a resort. Once people walk through the front door of the lobby their life back home disappears. The trailer trash families like the one in the video consider themselves kings and queens just because they got a cheap rate on Expedia. The lonely wives traveling for business are usually the ones seen with groups of men at the hotel bar while their husbands call to make sure their wives are ok because they hadn't heard from them since she checked in. It goes on and on and on. I would have evicted and pressed charges against these people if this were my hotel. It physically makes me sick thinking these people thought it was ok to tell an employee they were going to kill them....

It could be that they actually think their behavior is how things are properly done. You can't assume that everyone is even reasonably sophisticated. These people are pretty likely to be low on the socio-economic scale with a commensurate education and more importantly, a commensurate life experience. They're in St. Lucia, but this is probably the first time any of them have been more than 50 km away from home, much less outside of the country.
Once upon a time, travel was reserved for the more well-heeled members of society. You had to put on a suit or a nice dress to fly. Now people show up in ratty sweatpants and stick their dirty, bare feet on your armrest, flip their ponytails over your video screen or sit next to you shirtless, just like they were in their own living rooms.
I'm not saying that people with economic security are better, but they do have an advantage in acquiring varied experiences, which is the basis of sophistication. Money also gives you a better sense of the long term ("what will people think of me" vs. "I feel like sticking my stankfoot on your armrest because I want to be comfortable -- I'm not thinking about you at all."
I wouldn't assume they know how things are supposed to work at all.

It's a complete inability to cope with any unfamiliar or difficult situation. These people don't stay in hotels frequently, likely due to both economic and social factors. When a situation is too complex for the frontal cortex to handle, the reptilian brain takes over immediately and all of a sudden they are in "fight or flight" mode. Nobody has ever taught them how to problem solve effectively, and this is what happens when the default setting takes over. When this happens to a group of people the situation escalates quickly. You also see this type of things happen on airplanes with folks who are inexperienced in air travel.

I wouldn't write it off. Many uneducated people work in the oil industry which pays well. Energy tycoons typically vote down republican ballots because tax cuts help them a ton. Contractors vote Republican so they can claim they care about their employees despite being solely responsible for a bad quality of life for their employees- contractors are paid well. The thing is, the average salary doesn't matter here, the median does. I'm willing to bet the median salary of the trump voters is substantially lower- after all he did pander to out of work people in the rust belt with no skills or education. Also explains why they whine about the liberal elite.

Even now, where ever they are, they are watching their video, drinking around a fire outside of their trailer, justifying their actions to themselves and their small group of like minded friends. They will continue to do this for the rest of their lives.

My sophomore year of college I got stuck in an elevator. Not only that, it was an elevator with a glass side facing outside, sun streaming in during mid-august in Southern California. It took about 35 minutes for the maintenance guys to get me and the girl I was stuck in there with out, by which point it was pretty toasty. Neither of us at any point did so much as express annoyance because we both knew there wasn't any danger and that shit happens. That family is fucked.

I've also been stuck in an elevator, but it took over an hour for the maintenance guy to get us out and I was in there with my dog and a lady who lived down the hall. It was an extra stressful situation because my dog needed to poo and there was an obnoxious alarm the whole time. None of us broke anything, though. We all waited patiently, including my dog's butthole.

LOL I got stuck in an elevator in my dorm and called for help and was in there for at least 10 mins when the door opened and a girl gets on. I figured it worked again so I stayed on. It went up and then went all the way back down and the door didn't open again. That's when I decided to tell her I'd just been previously stuck in the elevator. Whatever, we both just chilled and asked about majors and such.
About 5 mins later the door opened by itself and we walked out. We could hear the sirens in the distance coming to save us. As I was walking out of the garage I saw a guy walking to the elevator and for a brief second thought about telling him not to get on, but I decided he seemed like the type of guy who would love telling the story of how he got rescued by the fire department that one time he got stuck in the elevator.

No kidding. Based on the title and the initial reaction seen in the video, I thought it was an infant or toddler that was stuck in the elevator. To see at the end that it's a young adult, and yet everyone is over-reacting as if they have never been in a public elevator before just makes me cringe.

Maybe they've never seen an elevator before and think it's a magic portal device that transports between floors.

I feel extraordinarily bad for the youngest that was trapped in the elevator. The kid probably was not consoled by the other guy in the elevator, and they have to grow up with shitty morals from their family.

Yeah I pity the innocent one, everyone else in this video is old enough to know better. Worst of all they made the whole experience a hundred times more traumatic than it needed to be for her. If they'd kept calm about it maybe she wouldn't have emerged bawling her eyes out because their mad panic had convinced her she was in danger. She's the only victim in this video, but of her family, not the elevator.

I got stuck in an elevator in college at 3 AM with a bottle of whiskey. Hit the call button, sat down, and drank a lot of whiskey. Got out later and went to bed with no problem.
Worst part of the experience was the hangover, not being stuck.

I was stuck in an elevator once and there was no phone.
But there was an alarm button.
Thing is I have heard those alarms go off before and nobody pays attention to them because they have no idea what they mean or where they are coming from.
Knowing that elevators are designed to not crash into the basement I did not panic.
I pressed the button in the cadence of morse code for SOS.
Three short. Three long. Three short.
Three short. Three long. Three short.
Even if you don't know morse code you know that is not normal and you respond.
I was out in fifteen minutes because somebody heard me and got help.
Being stuck in an elevator is really nothing more dangerous than being bored and having nowhere comfortable to sit. These days if you have a smart phone even being bored is out of the equation.

Yeah I can offer a counter story - there were about 12 of us in an elevator going down to the ground floor of a fairly large upmarket resort at the beach. When it got to ground, it dropped about a foot abruptly and we were stuck.
Call button didn't do anything, which was nice. So we pryed the inner doors open, but the outer doors only opened about 2 inches because of a lock or something. Managed to get the attention of another guest who got management, who proceeded to do fuck all and only called the fire brigade after 30 minutes. We were in there for about an hour all up

I got stuck in an elevator in my apartment building early on a Saturday on the way to the gym. I called the building maintenance on my cell phone (hey man there could have been spiders in that phone compartment) and sat down and waited. It took 45minutes for them to come get me out but I knew to only real danger I would be in would be getting out of the elevator (falling to your death in one is not a thing anymore). Overall it wasn't bad at all, I had my audio book so I really didn't give a shit. Watching these people make me sick, you want to get your kids hurt? This is how you do it, just wait for the elevator guy to come.

I have a feeling that the kid or kids got themselves stuck in there. They were probably pressing all the buttons. The shitty thing is, the family probably hired an attorney, sued the elevator company and got a huge settlement. Now they live in a three bedroom trailer instead of a two bedroom trailer. Bubba bought himself a bigger pickup truck.

There was an actual child stuck in there with him. You can hear them say, "get vivi" or something and then you see her at the very end. These are probably people who have no idea how elevators work, and they honestly thought their kid was in danger from falling and dying (you can see how the elevator didn't stop in the correct stop).
I guarantee these people have no idea that it is literally impossible to die from a falling elevator, but I understand their panic if I put myself in their shoes.

I got stuck in an elevator at my office.
I pressed the emergency button and it calls some number. The person who answered couldn't make out where I said I was, so they hung up. I tried again, and spoke very slowly and clearly, and they said they still couldn't make out the name of the building I was in, so they hung up again.
Fortunately one of the maintenance guys in the building heard me yelling at the operator and called the repair people.
I was stuck in that elevator for 40 minutes.
For some reason I have some sympathy for this family.

Got stuck in an elevator on vacation in California once. We stayed in an old hotel, think it was called the "Hollywood Tower" or something. Really neat place, the bellstaff all wore cool retro uniforms. Anyway, the main elevators were out, so guests had to use the maintenance lifts. Hotel manager comes out and personally explains the situation to us, and gives a nice little history of the place. We ride up a bit, the doors open to a floor that isn't ours. NBD, we just stayed on figuring it might make some wrong stops as it's not really supposed to be used by guests. Eventually the doors opened to some kind weird half-way maintenance level, exposed pipes everywhere, a bit creepy.
That's when the lights went out completely.
We sat in total darkness for a moment, people nervously chuckled a bit to break the tension. Suddenly the elevator plunged 13 stories down...

Rest your arma lengthways down your legs and rest the wrists just on the knee and itll never go numb.
edit: i need to do some zen pooping classes or some shit. Instead of yoga mats you have open concept toilets in the middle of the room, and I do demonstrational pooping postures and stuff for various tasks.
"The one handed toilet roll change. First take your index finger and thumb and slide them into the toilet roll tube to grab the spring. Release one side of the spring, then pull it angled down so the tube stays on the spring with you holding it. Slide the tube into the trash, and pick up the new roll with the spring. Slide into place."

Seriously, I was stuck in my work elevator after coming back from a fire drill. We overloaded the elevator and ended up stuck for 20 minutes. It was mildly inconvenient being trapped with about twenty other people in a tight area, but I'd imagine it being pure torture being trapped with a screaming trashy idiot.

That's not how elevators have worked since 1860. From wikipedia..
"In fact, prior to theSeptember 11th terrorist attacks, the only known free-fall incident in a modern cable-borne elevator happened in 1945 when a B-25 bomber struck the Empire State Building in fog"
Elevators have stop gap measures that lock in place if somehow the cable were to break

First: On mobile so not formatting
Second: You quoted that "Elevators have two or three types of brakes" not one of two or three but multiple stop mechanisms(basic reading comprehension)
Third: In 1852, Elisha Otis introduced the safety elevator, which prevented the fall of the cab if the cable broke. The design of the Otis safety elevator is somewhat similar to one type still used today. A governor device engages knurled roller(s), locking the elevator to its guides should the elevator descend at excessive speed. He demonstrated it at the New York exposition in the Crystal Palace in a dramatic, death-defying presentation in 1854,[14][15] and the first such passenger elevator was installed at 488 Broadway inNew York City on March 23, 1857.
This technology has not changed. Any elevator uses this basic failsafe and in no ways allows a car to fall anywhere near 10 stories to safely decelerate. It would be absolutely useless in the vast majority of any elevator. Usually the gaps are closer to 3" apart, next time you are in a glass elevator take a look.
It's called a stop governor and is the basic mechanism that Eli Otis invented in the 1800's.

Look, people don't know how elevators work. What if everything you know about elevators comes from the movies in which first elevators get stuck, and then they plummet and crush everyone inside.

I hope he actually means escalator and not elevator. Meaning he became terrified that the escalator suddenly turned into (gasps) STAIRS

I was trapped between floors in an elevator that kept slightly moving up and down, never coming to a complete stand still for about 45 minutes...in a police station, with a cop and two inmates. I wasn't about to climb through the 1 foot space between the floor and the elevator ceiling.
No one came initially, the floor it was jammed at the top on wasn't heavily trafficked, and being as the officer was at the PD, he didn't have his radio, it was charging. No one freaked out, no one thought anyone was going to die, no one was going off the ends about it. Maintenance finally arrived about 10-15m in, they wedged some thick metal rods between the door and ceiling to and clamped some thing on the cabling above they said so it would stop moving. Took a good bit of time. Climbed out nervous as fuck that the elevator would shift and split me in two. It didn't happen. Fuck these folks. I still get a little nervous about lifts but I can deal and still take them if it's over a few floors

That's so true. Or the owners and sometimes even just the geographic area around the hotel. The hotel I worked at was pretty shitty and I understand a lot of the complaints and really tried to help.

Ticks me off how often this happens to bottom of the totem pole employees. Like I used to work in the parking lot at a Disney amusement park (not sure how personal I can get given the warning notification) and holy crap. So many people would complain to me over things I had no control of. And many times over things that I didn't even know who I could report their complaint to.
Like sorry you misread the time and showed up halfway through the firework show. I literally can't do anything. (they asked me to contact management to have them stop and restart it)
Sorry the fire department said the park is at capacity and we can't let anymore people in. Don't harass me when I go to the local gas station to get lunch.

I've actually had the same thing happen. I worked night shifts all by myself, and would have men insist on me coming to their rooms to fix things instead of waiting a couple of hours for maintenance. When I would refuse or tell them I wasn't qualified, they would tell me that they can get a slut like me fired in no time. And of course my managers would do nothing about it because that might lead to a bad review. Creepy AF

I once had a guy pull a stunt on two of my coworkers (a woman who worked at the front desk with me and a waitress at the restaurant) where he asked one of them to come up to his room (for a toilet plunger and room service, respectively), then had porn playing on a laptop facing the door when they came up. We put him on our "do not rent" list but he disappeared before we had a chance to yell at him about it. I've been lucky, my two managers have always been willing to stand up for us and will have our back if someone is being truly unreasonable. Thankfully it really doesn't happen very often, for all of the service industry horror stories I heard before I started working it's actually relatively rare for me to encounter genuinely awful people. It's happened to me maybe 3 times in the 3 years I've been working, and I've never seen someone who had their issue resolved continue to hold a grudge afterwards. I've also only been personally insulted once, which I think is a decent track record.

Yup. And generally stupid.
My last day, this guy threw a fit because he refused to give his credit card to keep on file. We require you put it on file in case you trash the place. Kept complaining how the last hotel charged him and the last time he stayed at mine my dumb lazy coworker let him stay without it so he doesn't have to now. Goddamn 11pm and he's screaming for me to call my manager at home.
Then the douchebags who think they're clever because they make a bunch of hotel reservations because they might possibly need it then try to cancel the day of and are furious we have a 24 hour cancellation policy. No bitch. We denied that room to someone else because YOU wanted it. Don't wait until check in time to cancel it and read the goddamn fine print and confirmation email.
Or the crackheads who fight with you because we won't let them pay cash without a large deposit and require an ID.
Really thought one guy was gonna jump the counter when I told him I couldn't refund his card because he booked and paid for two rooms by accident through a 3rd party. Couldn't grasp that he paid expedia and then expedia paid us for a no cancellation room in exchange for a super low price. I didn't take your money, expedia did, go fight them.
"My tv isn't working, come fix it. Oh you can't because you're the only one here at 10 pm and are dealing with customers? Fuck you". Then I get to the room and its "Oh I just had to press the power button?"
2 Chinese business room came storming to the desk demanding I change their room because "theres no wifi". No buddy, you're in the middle of the hotel where everyone else is getting it fine, you're just not listening to me when I say you need to open your browser and click "accept terms". Just keep talking to me like I'm retarded and enjoy your new room with no wifi as well cause you're too goddamn stupid to work a computer.
Goddamn Russians ALWAYS have an attitude.
An old couple spent 10 minutes berating me about "their rights" because I suggested I upgrade them into a pet friendly room with their service dog after they failed to inform me of it and I put them in a no pets building. Legally we can't deny them any room if its a service dog, but its considerate to other guests if we keep certain buildings animal free for allergies. It would have taken 10 seconds and been a shorter walk to their room and would be an upgrade. They hounded me while I tried to explain it was only a suggestion and my reasoning for it then ignored the fact I conceded two seconds into it. Then mocked me for backing down on their way out.
I fucking hate people. Every goddamn demographic. No ones innocent in hospitality.
Edit: Since this ones getting a bit more attention I'll add one of my most rage inducing encounters with a guest.
Here's the one that got my blood boiling the most at the time though:
An old french man came in and was very nice while checking in. Although the reservation and credit card info was under his sons name so I needed the son there. He goes to get him. Now an angry middle aged french man is at the desk furious that I would bother him for this and furious at his old dad for fucking it up, which he didn't. This guy spent the whole check in looking for something to berate me and his dad about. Finally, I give him his keys (inside a paper envelope with his room number written on it) and he leaves. 10 minutes later he returns rudely tossing the keys on the counter.
Normally, I'd double check in the system to make sure but this guy looked ready to freak out and I literately just gave him the envelope with the numbers so I trusted he knew the room number. He gets the keys and storms off. 5 minutes later he comes back and throws the keys at me this time.
I immediately knew what had happened and asked for the envelope I originally gave him. Fucking 1133. The room next door. He went to the wrong room the first time.
Obviously he acted like this was still my fault. And it kind of is, I shouldn't have trusted this croissant eating fuck tard. I was about to snap at him but my coworker cut in and took it from there so I could go cool off in the back room. The guys poor dad doesn't have that option unfortunately.
The guy who's room he barged into was very nice and understanding towards me over the angry Frenchman invading his room.

My favourite will always be the guy who was screaming because the lights in his room weren't working. Up I go, flick the light switch, on.

There's nothing like dealing with the general public to ruin your faith in humanity. You'll forget the >95% of people you deal with who were perfectly pleasant, polite and inoffensive. The arseholes will will stick in your mind as they're so incredibly frustrating to deal with.
If it helps at all - any time I've stayed in a hotel I've been polite and friendly to the point of being apologetic for bothering the front desk staff if I've ever needed anything.
Good luck out there :)

The horrible excuses for human beings are abundant, but they're not the majority. The majority are just cold and go through the steps. Which is fine, you don't need to be all friendly and stuff. Just don't be a giant sentient bag of dicks.

Dude, there are people from all over the world living in hotels, there is nothing the police can do about it.
I worked at a front desk in Norway, and there was this Italian dude who paid his room bill just fine in cash, but he had also smoked in the room and that comes with an extra charge he refused to pay.
The dude just left. Just walked out and went back to Italy. We called the police but they couldn't do shit about it.
You definitely need the card on file. I don't see why that's sketchy??

I understand why a hotel would think its a good idea now.
BUT, where Im from people are wary with their credit cards, even on supposedly "safe" places, so I can 100% understand if people want to be very cautious with it. Once money has been wrongfully charged on your credit card, its VERY difficult to get it back here, and you just cant trust most estabilishments.
Ive never been in a hotel that had that rule tough. Im sorry, but I would totally be The Guy Who Doesnt Give Out His Cardโข in this situation and wont change my mind. Just the idea of putting your CC "on file" on some random place/country gives me anxiety.

Well I work at a Radisson, the biggest hotel chain in the world, so I would say it's fairly safe to leave your card with us. But yeah, I guess I could see how it might feel sketchy some places.
And if its the policy, the hotel has every right to deny you a room if you don't comply. If you came in when I was at work you would not be getting a room unless you gave me a sizeable cash deposit.

I've worked four years retail management and two years as a front desk agent.
In retail if someone disagrees with a story policy or is being a general ass they will eventually leave. Guests don't leave, and in my experience are even worse about trying to get stuff for free.
Also the amount of times I've called the cops in working retail vs hospitality is ridiculous, along with the amount of attempts at solicitation I've recieved.
Hotel is quieter though, I like that.

Interesting. I've had the opposite experience. Maybe it was the hotel. I worked for a mid-upper level mostly business traveler and cruise ship hotel. So not too much trash. Plenty of pissed off people demanding free shit though. Nothing fucking sucks more than following the rules and telling a guest no and then having some spineless dweeb manager shuffle up and contradict you and give them what they wanted, essentially making you look like a moron.
Nothing is worse than that except for when it happens every fucking day in retail. Maybe my retail experience is in a trashy sector though, so it was a nightmare.

It depends. Rich people can generally be a problem and get angry but for the most part they won't shit on the elevator floor to get back at you or spit at you across the desk.
On the other hand I really liked to give a free upgrade to some down on their luck nice people. It really made their day. The same upgrade wouldn't please a business traveler or rich person. They just expect it. So naturally after a while I did everything I could to make sure they didn't get an upgrade. I guess I'm a massive prick.

I switched to bellman from front desk and that was a lot better. Even got to watch a porn shoot one time and deliver some condoms to an NBA player who tipped me a hundred bucks. Fuck the front desk tho.

Just to lighten the tone here. My kid lost a tooth when he and I were staying in a hotel one night. I had no tooth fairy cash, but the front desk hooked me up, rather than sending me on a cash machine hunt. My boy was floored that the tooth fairy knew we were there! Thank you, front desk lady!

Copy and pasted from another reply plus some stuff.
My last day, this guy threw a fit because he refused to give his credit card to keep on file. We require you put it on file in case you trash the place. Kept complaining how the last hotel charged him and the last time he stayed at mine my dumb lazy coworker let him stay without it so he doesn't have to now. Goddamn 11pm and he's screaming for me to call my manager at home.
Then the douchebags who think they're clever because they make a bunch of hotel reservations because they might possibly need it then try to cancel the day of and are furious we have a 24 hour cancellation policy. No bitch. We denied that room to someone else because YOU wanted it. Don't wait until check in time to cancel it and read the goddamn fine print and confirmation email.
Or the crackheads who fight with you because we won't let them pay cash without a large deposit and require an ID.
Really thought one guy was gonna jump the counter when I told him I couldn't refund his card because he booked and paid for two rooms by accident through a 3rd party. Couldn't grasp that he paid expedia and then expedia paid us for a no cancellation room in exchange for a super low price. I didn't take your money, expedia did, go fight them.
"My tv isn't working, come fix it. Oh you can't because you're the only one here at 10 pm and are dealing with customers? Fuck you". Then I get to the room and its "Oh I just had to press the power button?"
2 Chinese business room came storming to the desk demanding I change their room because "theres no wifi". No buddy, you're in the middle of the hotel where everyone else is getting it fine, you're just not listening to me when I say you need to open your browser and click "accept terms". Just keep talking to me like I'm retarded and enjoy your new room with no wifi as well cause you're too goddamn stupid to work a computer.
Goddamn Russians ALWAYS have an attitude.
An old couple spent 10 minutes berating me about "their rights" because I suggested I upgrade them into a pet friendly room with their service dog after they failed to inform me of it and I put them in a no pets building. Legally we can't deny them any room if its a service dog, but its considerate to other guests if we keep certain buildings animal free for allergies. It would have taken 10 seconds and been a shorter walk to their room and would be an upgrade. They hounded me while I tried to explain it was only a suggestion and my reasoning for it then ignored the fact I conceded two seconds into it. Then mocked me for backing down on their way out.

Its about 200 rooms motel style, not super busy. Its cheap, right off the highway and near a very nice, historic area though. So you get the whole mix of bullshit guests.
Crackheads and hookers for cheap, secluded rooms.
Entitled business men that love to talk down to you.
Blue collar workers on the road who like to talk down to you even more so and get rowdy
Cheap families on vacation. Possibly the worst.
Foreign tourists. Who are a mix of naive lacking common sense and the ability to speak English and then the ones who's culture encourages treating those lower than you like trash. Or in the Russian and French case treating everyone like trash.
Old people that are going crazy and live there

As someone who was raised in a lower-middle income environment and navigated up through some socio-eco degrees, this was wild to see, but kind of familiar.

I think this says something important about american society, but I've never been able to sum it up as well as this article:
"In 2017, Mark Wahlberg is the perfect muse for a certain sort of creative. As the star of Lone Survivor (based on a true story of tragedy in Afghanistan), Deepwater Horizon (based on a true story of tragedy at sea), and now Patriots Day (based on a true story of tragedy in Boston), heโs the poster boy for films about needless violence against American bodies โ an affectless prism through which viewers can project their own preconceived (and carefully catered-to) notions of American heroism."

I dont care about winning an argument. I didnt know we were even arguing to begin with...Regardless, he was 16 when he attacked the 2 Vietnamese kids because he was trying to steal 2 cases of beer and knocked one of them unconscious with a piece of wood, and punched and kicked the one while calling them slanty eyed gooks. It was bad enough that he was charged with attempted murder. He was also charged before that for attacking black school kids and by chasing them and chucking rocks at them while calling them racial slurs. You can call him a good guy if you want, but i dont think hes earned that, even if he has been out of trouble since.

Not all of us grew up in Dorchester in the 70s either.
Edit: I'm just saying that the environment someone grows up in, especially one as racially charged as Boston was in the 70s and 80s, has a huge effect on who they are as a person, even moreso as a teenager without life experience outside that bubble.

Yes when he was a precocious teenager of 16 years old he walked up behind a Vietnamese man and beat him over the head repeatedly with a rod while yelling racial epithets until the man lost consciousness and was permanently blinded.
The teenager part is the important thing to remember from that story. The story of him almost killing someone in a racially motivated attack.
Because we all chalked it up to "they're just teenagers" to those assholes who Facebook-live broadcasted themselves attacking that mentally handicapped man from Chicago back in January. Being a teenager totally mitigates the fact that someone is a bigoted violent sociopath.

I actually really like him as an actor, he comes across as a chill dude, but he could be a massive fuckhead IRL. I was just trying to point out that 30 years changes a person, but it doesn't necessarily make them not shitheads.

So was I.
He could definitely be a massive fuckhead IRL but, I think, holding him accountable for something he did as a kid is a tad bit ridiculous.
Like if you want to call him out on being an asshole call him out on some shit he did just recently to deserve it.
If he did that shit in his 30s then he already is the person he's going to be for the rest of his life (now) and fuck him. As a kid it's different, I like to think.

The article, or more specifically, that line is more about the films that he stars in directed by Peter Berg than it is a character study of Wahlberg's personal life. In fact the article only draws on his personal life when it supports the thesis that Berg is using Wahlberg as a screen for the Average American Joe to project themselves fighting The Terror that's plaguing America day after day.
Also from the article (just to show that what you're alluding to was not glossed over by the author):

Fun fact: After beating two Vietnamese men unconscious on the same day while shouting racial epiphets at them, with a prior record, he spent 45 days in jail out of a two year sentence and would later say he'd paid for his mistakes despite never so much as apologizing to the two people he beat half to death.

I've had a working theory in my head for quite some time that the egregiousness of modern movies has contributed considerably to the behavior and disrespect of the present-day American human. I feel like them watching "too many X movies" is in fact, not a joke, but an actual real problem that isn't being considered enough.

Your life is your story! What happens between the day you're born and the day you die is an adventure of many ups and downs. Time is the villian and you are the hero! Don't let time win early by cutting your story short! Fight and survive til the bitter end. every story is different and unique. Some has a lot tragedy or romance but most will have a mix of all emotions. Don't you want to find out what will happen next year? Next month? Next moment?
Time will alway win eventually but hopefully you'll be content with the story that only you got to experience and live through.

In my story /u/JohnnyOnslaught is the character that doesn't say anything for almost the whole thing and everybody thinks he's a mute, but then, when the werewolf is just about to kill me, he kills it with a shotgun full of silver buckshot.
And as I'm standing there, shaking, covered in werewolf guts he casually swings the shotgun over his shoulder, winks at me and says "Heyo Silver. Away."

I did a lame little hand raise to acknowledge my terrible decision, but I think sometimes that can just look like a thank-you gesture, that only emphasizes in the other driver's mind that I'm an inconsiderate moron.

bdsee ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 08:29:39 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
You do an acknowledgement wave (hold your hand up with palm facing them) and a head bow to show respect/submission.
They should look similar to the top pictures in these searches, though a more natural hand position, rather than the awkward rigid look they have when swearing in...really the hand is all in the gesture, hand doesn't even need to leave the wheel. Just raise your fingers/palm towards the driver and do the nod.

Thankfully, body language can speak volumes. Put on a sheepish face, bow your head slightly, etc, when waving, and most normal people will see it as an embarrassed sorry expression as opposed to an expression of thanks.
klparrot ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:49:35 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, works if they can see your face, but if you've accidentally cut someone off, or there's poor lighting or some distance, not so much.
eidetic ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 09:12:26 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I was thinking just generally and not in that specific situation for some reason, even though you specifically mentioned it.
Clearly then, the solution after accidentally cutting them off is to repeatedly brake check them until they are forced to go around you. Only then can they see your submissive head bow and embarrassed face. It's foolproof and everyone will know exactly what you're trying to convey.

This exactly. It's infuriating almost. That, and the amount of panic the Mom (I'm guessing?) was displaying, running up the stares looking like a Bear had eaten her child or something. I don't know if I've ever been that panicked, especially over something so small. Has she never experienced anything panic-worthy before?
If my kid got stuck in the elevator I'd tell him "Hold on buddy, I'm calling the front office." That's it.
AND WHY THE HELL SO YOU PULL THE FIRE ALARM? All you're doing is ruining everyone else's day at the hotel.

I would say the harassment, racist remarks and obnoxious behaviour to the staff of the hotel would be up there. I'm sorry but what did they expect him to do? I'm sure front desk was contacted and this poor staff member was put on duty to watch and make sure nothing drastic happened. I would think he took the fuck it approach once they started with the insults.

I've always found it ironic that most often when people like this see themselves as the hero they also simultaneously play the victim.
You can't be both. If you claim to be both the hero and the victim you are an asshole who is typically guilt tripping, manipulating and controlling the situation to your preferred outcome.

They remind me of people who will say some bullshit on their Facebook page that is easily shown to be untrue with a quick Google search. And when presented with the data, instead of saying "wow, you're right, I made a mistake", they show that they are incredibly immature by responding with "well it doesn't matter, this is still true in other cases". They aren't worth talking to.

Been in the protests, almost everybody was thin, at least the ones I'be been to.
The Democrats are clustered in the "thin" cities (the cities on both coasts), places with mass transit where people walk a lot, while Trump voters tend to be in rural areas, the Midwest & the Deep South, where obesity is much more rampant. Generally Republican states are fatter and within single states Republican counties are fatter. That last is definitely true of my region btw, as the only 2 blue counties in my (red) state are by far the thinnest counties. (I've wondered if REI-type outdoorsiness somehow skews Democratic? People where I live now are ridiculously outdoorsy and it's the thinnest place I've ever lived - and also for some reason crazily liberal).
This isn't true for all individuals obviously, but when I see a family that's all fat it's more likely they're from a Republican state, and hence likely to be Republican themselves.

No, I wasn't a complete retard. A few of us realized that we could stop the elevator temporarily by pulling the door. So we did that against our friend who was on the inside a bunch of times so he had to press the floor button every time. Only after a few times the elevator stopped completely.
After that we acted like normal rational people and made sure he got help to get out, not like fucking monkeys.

I had to take a class in a pretty old commercial office building. It was on the 4th floor and by about the third night of class I had figured out that this elevator didn't give a shit where you were, if you hit the door open button, the doors would open. I would freak everyone out by opening the doors between floors and just see concrete going by.

At my university my classmates do this alle the time when the elevator is filled up, they just put a little pressure on the door aaaand security brake goes off.

I delivered food in Chicago for a while and there are a few high rise apartment buildings where on super windy days the elevators get triggered like a door was being opened and stop. All you had to do was kick the door and it would keep going. Glad someone was there with me the first time it happened or I definitely would have been stuck.

Used to live in a block of flats and we could stop the elevators by jumping, jarring them causes the emergency brake to go on and wont unlock without assistance.

You know, I've always looked at those behind-glass fire alarms and thought... Surely that wouldn't be that easy to break in an emergency right? I'm just supposed to smash my fist through glass?

As a kid, I once pulled a fire alarm in a hotel thinking I could pull, run, and hide all before anyone knew what was happening. Cue me pulling, alarm sounding, and everyone walking out of their rooms from all around before I knew what was happening.
It was not difficult to pull. I was like 7 maybe? The fire department said I could have easily broken it trying to push it back up (which I actually did attempt at first).
It ended up airing on the news in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.Edit: Strikethrough because only shittymorph is authorized to use this meme according to Reddit.

The story about me pulling the alarm is actually true, as is the year in which it occurred (it probably didn't make the news, though). That's why I threw that last part in.
I'm not trying to steal /u/shittymorph's thunder. I meant only to honor the meme.

GoodDecision ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 01:19:29 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Hotels can sometimes have selective features on what does what on their fire alarm systems. For example, a smoke detector in a guest room may only send a signal to the main control panel to alert the front desk of an issue, where a smoke detector located in a common area would produce the audio and visual signals in the building. This is to avoid disturbing guests with false alarms.
A manual pull station not putting the system in full alarm, however, I've never personally seen.
As for the guy in the elevator, I'm not an expert in that area, but If I was in that situation, I would feel 100% safe.

Fire sprinklers don't work like in the movies. They turn on when fire breaks the little mercury vial in the sprinkler head. They're not remotely activated.

Some are it depends on what they are supposed to be stoping from burning. Some super flammable things get covered in foam as soon as the alarm goes off to prevent ignition at all.

Sprinklers are heat activated, not reactive to the manual evacuation alarm.

Some are, most aren't. I've installed systems that would be zoned, if section A is in alarm, then section A's sprinklers pop. Expensive and unnecessary for 90% of commercial shit.

A lot are physically activated! It's more uncommon to use a dry system, you have to install a control panel that initiates the pre-action. Either the school wanted a dry system, the township required it for public buildings, or the kid got lucky.

LilDutchy ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 12:03:22 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Fire alarms in hotels often require acknowledgement. Even then they only activate on the one floor or even wing section of a floor. Reason being they need to evacuate in an organized manner. So if your smoke alarm goes off in your room, you may just activate the others in your block so you don't have hundreds of people in the hallways all at once. Or maybe a floor above and below as well. Activating a pull station probably requires acknowledgement from the front desk or whoever is monitoring before sounding the horn/strobes on the floor.
Fire alarms are a lot more complex and sophisticated than people think.

Watching BB again now, after seeing the reddit fan made movie post.
The first time I watched it was 3-4 years ago.
I don't really want to watch anymore and am only at the end of season 2. It's boring when you know what's going to happen. Lost is the same way.
The only TV show I seem to be able to watch over and over again (Over 20 times), is HIMYM. It's not the plot, it's not even the jokes at this point, it's just that I enjoy every character...except Robin. She comes off as whiny most of the time.

Just like real life, you don't know what's coming bext, why should the writers? Makes it the amazing show it is. It has some of the best writing, acting and cinematography in my opinion. Everytime I watch it I am as excited as a first time, and you see so much more when you rewatch it. You understand more about each character and their subtleties. It's just a beautiful piece of art.
But I'm with you on light hearted stuff. My day to day is usally something like Brooklyn 99.

He is a very good writer, yes. Critically acclaimed, has made some great pieces of work. I don't see how he's not a good writer? Not up there with someone like Shakespeare personally but that's because I love theatre. But I'm pretty sure everyone can find a King novel they enjoy.

Fair enough, but the first writer on Google when you look up best writer is King. But people exaggerate a lot, sorry, may have not meant best.
Twilight isn't the worst thing ever written, haven't read 50 shades, couldn't tell you.
But we were talking about writers not having a planned ending. What authors do you consider the best? And why do you consider a writer who doesn't plan every detail out before a bad one?

I watched the finale last night. Cried a little, laughed a lot and am just happy that I'll get the references to the show now. I binged it in about three weeks so I really got attached to the characters. The only thing I was upset with in the finale was how little time Michael Scott got, but I guess his story was finished up for the most part. We knew he wanted a family more than anything in the world and he got it.

Most of the time I can handle the cringe, but in Phyllis' Wedding episode I very nearly skipped because Michael was so cringy. Overall, love the show.

Here's the thing, though. Some people are smart, and some people are not smart. No amount of education is going to make up the full deficit, and that's why teaching to the lowest common denominator doesn't work well. Sure, you get a higher success rate on average, but the top gets a shitty education based on their actual abilities.

Are you sure all that money isn't going into broken sports programs? For example, the third gymnasium for a school that doesn't even need one? We might be paying more per student but it's not for the programs to alleviate these kinds of issues. Take into account the time required for a conscientious cognitive shift to take hold.

I'm sorry I forgot we are arguing semantics here. Okay I meant... Building their third gymnasium while already possessing two, meaning maybe they don't need another one. Source, where I grew up in Bum Fuck Kansas. 3A school. Yea we're all baffled but that's where that skewed "more money then ever" comment comes from.
That's not even arguing that the cost of everything has gone up, so why wouldn't we be spending more then ever, every year? Look at for profit schooling systems.

Come on, it's only a practical problem. A hard problem, admittedly - but if we were able to make a definitely correct determination as to a person's quality (Which we are not.), we'd absolutely give the more able ones a stronger voice, we'd be insane not to. It would also give those freaks incentive to climb the ladder of sanity - two problems, one stone.
When you object to this, try to reflect first if you're doing it based on some kind of unconscious "Muh democracy!" programming or if you are actually yourself convinced.

Anyone that thinks this is the direction this country should go, or that it was intended to be that way has this country seriously fucked up. No one on this subreddit is going to be voting in that reality.

I doubt that this lady has time to make it to the polls when she is getting distracted by every elevator her kid runs into and starts mashing 'close,' praying desperately that this may be the time when they finally forget about him or give up so he can get as far away from her and the family as possible.

I hope you realize that what you're doing is making a prejudiced statement against someone not as fortunate as yourself, who likely is more mentally deficient and from a lower socioeconomic class. Making an assumption about this person's vote, while simultaneously insinuating she's not worth as much as you is pretty rich, and exactly the hypocrisy that landed Trump in the White House.
Yes, her vote does count as much as yours, but you dismiss her as useless because you felt superior based on a video you saw on the internet.
Stop being a condescending twat and try to actually discuss something, instead of simply dismissing them as dumb.

My comment made a real point and I didn't dismiss them. I called them a name based on evidence actually in the comment. They were being condescending, so I called them as such. In contrast, they made an assumption about the parties in the video based on prejudice towards a group of people.

As funny as it sounds, this is one of the worse things you can do in a real emergency. I imagine most buildings have a Fire Detection System that will show where the alarms are coming from. When you pull multiple alarms, the security/emergency teams won't know where to go first, and assistance will be delayed.

That's the key difference between the fire department responding at their leisure and coming in at full emergency speed.
That's why they call them 4-alarm fires. It means 4 people have pulled a fire alarm, so it's probably important. /s

I know you are just saying that as a joke but the fire alarm is a sacred "Let all feel my anguish" button for trashy people. Just last week the high as fuck couple living above us got into one of their weekly mental breakdowns and not even 5 minutes in she goes straight for the alarm. Just life at 1am when white trash enters your life.

binarygamer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:23:37 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
I remember a scene from a YouTube machinima series (more than a decade old) called Arby n the chief, performed by some guy using text to speech and handheld models of Halo characters. Think Toy Story on a shoestring budget. It had a big following & managed to run for several seasons. In this case the Chief had produced a home movie with a nonsensical plot. At some point in the home video, the main character John, who had been killing aliens in defense of Earth, was revealed to be an alien himself.
Edit: looks like the machinima ripped it from a Doom fanfic in ~2002.

I've been in a hotel when the fire alarm went off about 3AM. It seems that some patron of the bar was pissed that drinking was over for the day and used the pull the fire alarm strategy. Fucking giant bell was clanging for almost an hour (hotel can't stop it until checked out by the fire department). I put a washcloth in it to quiet it down, then realized that might be a crime.

They return to the main floor and stay down there with the doors open. They can still be used if you have a special key though.
Edit: forgot to mention, if the fire is detected on the main floor, it's programed to go to an alternate floor and stay there disabled with doors open.

If you found that interesting, you may also find it interesting that when the firemen come and switch the elevator to fire service mode, they have to hold down the button for the floor they want to go to, once they get there the doors won't open. That way they can feel if the door is hot before it opens. To open the doors they hold down the door open button or the floor number button until the doors are fully open, if let go the doors will close immediately. That's so that if smoke and flames start billowing into the elevator while the doors are opening, they can release the button and the doors will close.

I've got to believe they sustained injuries after breaking said glass or the doors, went to the hospital and proclaimed they have insurance, "not that Muslim, fake birth certificate having Obamacare, but we got ACA. Take care of us or we'll pull an alarm-EVERY possible alarm"

I'm a 25 year old college grad who grew up on a ranch and can fix most household/car related things myself and I had no idea you have to break any glass to use a fire alarm. Almost every fire alarm I've seen is just a flat red panel on the wall with a lever that you have to pull down. Probably half have a glass/plastic lid that you lift up first and then pull the lever. If I saw one I had to break something on I'd probably be confused too.
I'm in the NW US, maybe its just us up here.
jamesbondq ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 02:58:00 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sometimes there's a thin transparent glass or plastic rod that the lever has to pass through as you pull it down. It's an old school system of retroactively figuring out which alarm was pulled. Otherwise there's a glass or plastic membrane that you have to crack in order to get your fingers at the latch to pull down.
Either way, they're always designed such that anyone, in their most irrational, panic stricken state can operate them. The fact that she gives up so quickly is a testament to how much rational thought factors into her everyday thought processes.

It's honestly not hard to do at all. I'm a server in a restaurant that has one of those fire alarms in the server alley and on one of our busiest nights I broke it by hitting it with my arm. The glass shattered and the pulley dangled there on the brink of setting itself off. We slid a straw in it's place until a fire marshall could come fix it. He also added a metal guard around it to make it impossible (hopefully) to break accidently.
I had the biggest bruise on my arm for a week but at least I didn't cost us a whole lot of business.

There was a 6 year old in there with him - you don't see her come out because someone is in the way - but she's on the right side crying at the very end.
If anything it makes it worse to know that instead of the man-child keeping the kid calm, he's just in there screaming, "get me out of here ... break the door". No brain matter used what-so-ever.
Imagine the different outcomes. She'll go back to school after her holiday and tell her friends about how terrifying it was getting stuck in an elevator in 'the big city'. Conversely, had she been stuck in there with a thinking person who told her not to worry, there are people who fix this kind of thing all the time, she would have gone back to school and it wouldn't have even come up - barely a memory.

Elevators have so many failsafes and redundancies, you aren't going to die in a normally functioning one unless serious damage is done to the building, such as planes flying into it.
When they do fail, they aren't going to freefall to the bottom, nor will anyone suffocate inside. Again, there are multiple electronic and manual systems to prevent this.
I wouldn't expect people from Trashville to know about or understand what any of that means, hence the reason they freak out and start destroying the hotel.

Furthermore, once you start brute-forcing open doors and such, you are bypassing some of those fail-safes. With the mass of humans flesh present, forcing the doors open, it is very conceivable that once the external door is pried open, if they were wrong about which floor they think the elevator is on, they one of them could easily lose their balance and fall down the elevator shaft.

Well, yes, For instance there are "wheels" sorry don't know the technical terms, that will come out if the elevator starts to descend rapidly. They come out and create a kind of wedge at all corners to stop it. It's a fail safe...I think.

This is not true. A VC at my old startup in Chicago used to run Corp insurance and had a collection of terrible photos of elevator deaths and maimings. Most of the were when people tried climbing out when the elevator was between floors and then it started moving again suddenly.
Also 2 weeks ago 12 people in my office got stuck in an elevator at work for 3 hours. Pretty sure that was lethal. It was packed in there and one lady who was stuck in there doesn't use deodorant.

That story is impressive...
" Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was injured. Rescuers decided to transport her on an elevator that they did not know had weakened cables. The cables snapped and the elevator fell 75 stories, ending up in the basements. Oliver managed to survive the fall and rescuers later found her amongst the rubble. It still stands as theย Guinness World Recordย for the longest survived elevator fall."

I don't know whether or not he is lying, but I do know a few things about elevators. For starters, there are springs at the bottom of some shafts as a failsafe, and that many of those inspection cards in elevators are fake. I don't see why this couldn't have actually happened.

Not saying their behavior was good at all but I got stuck in an elevator for 2 hours as a kid and it was actually really terrifying seeing the door open up to a brick wall. My parents freaked out and tried to pull me out when the doors opened between floors and i think back on how easy it would have been to be cut in half right then and there. Fuck this dude for screaming with a child stuck in there with him, It probably wouldn't be such a bad memory if I had a stable adult in there with me.

I was stuck in a elevator returning to work from mcdonalds with a friend. Instead of panicking we sat on the floor and ate our food.
About a half hour later they got the elevator to open and we are on a different floor from what the elevate read. It was fun and we had a great excuse for being late back to work.

They built a 7 story building at my school and i vowed never to take the stairs cause the lazy fucking youths always lining up at the elevator to avoid even the slightest physical exertion put me off. One day my whole physics class went up to the top floor and decided to take the elevator back down for some reason physics related. I had to decline to the confusion of my 20 classmates and professor simply justifying my reasoning as "I don't do elevators", I in fact frequently do multiple elevator trips at weight capacity as my job entails delivering large quantities of materials to upper level offices downtown.

Lets not go crazy here. If the older brother had reacted calmly, things likely would've turned out better, but the odds of getting stuck in an elevator being 'a really cool memory' are probably around 0. Heck, even if he had been a paragon of responsibility, there's a fair chance this still would be a traumatizing experience for a 6 year old.

I know I'm the exception, but I had a Nancy Drew computer game in elementary school, and she crawled out of the top of the elevator when it got stuck. As a kid, I was fascinated by the idea of the tiny, hidden door at the top of elevators and wanted to climb through it one day. When I got stuck in an elevator in high school, I almost got to climb out, fulfilling my childhood dream, but the fire crew came right as we were starting to hoist the first guy up into the elevator ceiling.
To be fair, I doubt this little girl has that computer game, though...

For real, the 6 year old was being accompanied by an adult, she would have been fine. The guy could just have sat down with the little girl and played games on his phone and made this into a funny/fun experience while they waited for the elevator tech to come. The hilarious part was that they treated this like a life threatening emergency, yet the 18 year old helps himself out 1st and didn't even turn back around once he existed to help out the little girl.

Yeah, once I was stuck in an elevator with 2 friends, 2 small kids, a mom (not of the kids, but maybe related, I never quite figured it out, but definitely took it upon herself to be the "protector" of the kids) and some other woman.
We realized we were stuck, called maintenance, and were sitting tight. After a few one of the kids asked: "Can't you guys break the door?" and immediately my friend responded, "Sure we can, but that would break the elevator, instead we'll just sit tight until maintenance comes" Totally a lie, but it seemed to make the kid happy (or at least less worried). Unfortunately "mom" didn't get it. 45 seconds later. "You guys said you can break it, do it, the kids are scared! We have to get out of here now!"
Well fuck.
We argue with her for a bit. Kid starts crying. Other kid starts crying.
Fuck, fine, we'll try to force the door. Of course we can't. Mom is yelling at us that we're liars. Kids are freaking out. Other woman is just hiding in a corner. Maintenance comes. Opens the door. Everything is fine. But god, just play it cool and things work out.

When men react that way it's because they're scared shitless and it's the only thing they can do to keep from crying like a little baby. They just go straight aggro to cover it up. Every modern elevator has a failsafe to slowly lower a stalled car AND to open the doors. You just have to be patient and wait for the man with the key, like all those people "just standing around" were doing.

Someone who's almost and adult acting like that really explains the rest of the family's bullshit behavior.
Even if that guy had some EXTREME case of claustrophobia, he probably shouldn't have gotten into an elevator in the first place.

Thankfully in most states, to win on a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim you need to witness someone experiencing actual physical harm, in addition to proving negligence. Then there's the issue of quantifying your damages (e.g. therapy bills, etc.).

Powerball and MegaMillions in the US gets over 100 mil USD at least once a year. I'm pretty sure its been over 250 mil before, but that prize got split multiple ways and there's a shitload of taxes/fees on winnings....
Either way, 40 mil isn't that unheard of here at least. I agree though, it is insane.
Even the state lottery (medium size state) is usually 1-5 million. That's more than enough for me to comfortably retire tomorrow. I'd never play thoughโ the lottery is a game for the mathematically challenged.
Edit: Apparently there was a 656 million (annuity, pre-taxes/fees) USD megamillions jackpot that was won by a single person.

I feel bad for them. They're obviously scared and afraid. Seeing hotel employees behaving with calm detachment only infuriated them.

I've worked at a couple hotels. You don't even have to say that much to get shit for free. hotels are such shit businesses that people can abuse the staff and destroy the place and the front desk manager will instantly cave to an angry customer and give them whatever they want for free. It's sickening when you see it from the employee side.

Yeah, exactly. I work for one of the major hotel brands now at the front desk and guests can be downright abusive to front desk staff for something we have nothing to do with. I've had money thrown in my face because a person tried to steal something and I called them out, and my boss refunded them.

yeah we had bizarre policies like charging people for phone calls and then at check out if it was a $200 phone bill they'd say no they didn't make those calls and we'd have to just take them off the bill lol. Literally anything was free if the person made a big deal out of it. Room was shitty? free. neighbors were loud but you didn't call security? free. room service was cold? free.
I had so many people yell in my face that eventually I developed a blank stare so good that one customer after yelling for about 5 minutes looked at me and quietly said, "You don't care at all, do you" and left. My proudest moment.

Seriously. It's people like this who think the world is magical when they can't understand what it's doing, and don't comprehend the meaning "expertise". They're yelling at those hotel workers like they're maintenance workers or something. That's like going up to a police officer and yelling at them because the street lights aren't working and he doesn't have his pliers and screw driver out working on fixing them.
It's a fucking trade in itself to install an elevator, and if someone had really damaged the elevator, they would have been lucky if the maintenance guys COULD fix it.

I was working a system once where you had to log in to process any transaction.
Turns out there was a bug with the system where if you entered double oo's or 00's as part of your password (which needed to be changed monthly!) it could eat the whole password, make everything invalid and prevent you from logging in.
So of course this happens when I'm the only clerk there, and of course I need to spend three and a half hours on the phone to some tech support line in another fucking country... and of course people are pissed that I can't help them (and that I need to close the store temporarily because of technical issues).

Even a TV can be a pain. Lots of hotels have special connectors that prevent you from doing things like plugging or unplugging cables / hdmi / other devices into them (I've seen people try to steal tv's this way).
So you need to get the stuff to disconnect things, move a tv from an empty room (or god forbid actually get a spare), reconnect things, make sure people stay out of your goddamn way, and then send the damn thing off for repairs (if it can be) and assess that it wasn't damaged by the people in the room.

This is what is concerning, when you have someone "whatever they are" and then you introduce FEAR on top of that, any little logical thoughts they have are GONE out the window. I hate to say it but I feel like this is the same way my girlfriend is, bless her heart, I do love her but shes not super above avg intelligent, but shes got a heart of gold. Any time though say her mind starts racing with overly complex things or emotions start running all over her all thoughts and other processes stop, and this is especially bad when doing complex task like driving.

Most elevators are installed at almost cost and the profit is made on the service plan. I'm saying this to agree with you that no one in that hotel is qualified to work on the elevator. It is going to be Otis or someone of the like to come and fix it; which all manufacturers have.
If they kept their cool then they'd probably be given a weekend free or something, but that's out the window now.

The best case I've ever seen of someone misplacing blame was at a train station. A vending machine burned the change of a man and his young family. He responded by screaming, punching and trying to break the machine. His kids start screaming, he yells at them to shut the fuck up. He walks over to the emergency phones and demands the police refund him immediately.
I assume they tried to explain to him that that is not an emergency and to contact the city metro or the owner of the vending machines or just deal with it. Either way he began wailing on the emergency box until police showed up and he stormed up to them demanding his change back. Sure enough, cuffed and carried off in front of his kids while repeatedly screaming "I want my money, fucking pigs" all the while.
I saw it from start to finish and was abslutely bewildered by the amazing display of pure rage.

Not to disagree, but the hotel will call the maintenance company, who will probably call their on-call tech to make their way over. It's cheaper than the inevitable fees and fines from rescue services. The one time I got stuck the lady on the elevator phone said to just wait, it will be about two hours before the tech gets there. I then put in a call to the local fire department, the dispatch of which was able to guess the building and elevator we were in. A few firemen let is out 10 min later. That being said, "pull every fire alarm possible" and " break the doors" are bad tactics.

If an elevator is trapped between floors, and the doors on the lower floor opens, then there will be a gap below the elevator opening straight to the elevator shaft. Are you proposing getting rid of the elevator shaft? I guess we could just do away with elevators entirely and use stairs...
Yes, and when there's a medical emergency you call 911, and the elevator gets opened ASAP. But that's a complete waste of resources when there isn't a medical emergency. Besides, elevators getting stuck and medical emergencies like that are both pretty rare, and the chances of those coinciding therefore even less likely. There is a point beyond which extra safety is not worth the extra cost.

Serious offer: Draw me a picture of that, and I will reply with a /r/shittyphotoshop or /r/mspaint showing exactly why there's no need for that.
^And that's the real reason for the bad engineering. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, if routinely implemented, some of the things you could do to engineer this better wouldn't even add that much cost, but of course, we've already arrived at the point where we're discussing exactly how cheap someone's life (probably else's life) is. Behind every bad design, there's an unintelligent cost-cutter.
sticklebat ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 02:27:03 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Why do we need to draw pictures? There are many obvious ways of accomplishing this, for example by having a giant metal plate extend upwards and downwards from the elevator on the side facing the doors. However, all of these solutions have costs that are much greater than the occasional small group of people having to wait half an hour to an hour to be let out. That particular example requires a whole floor of extra headspace above and below the elevator shaft, and makes maintenance and repair more difficult by blocking access to an entire wall inside the elevator shaft.
Not only that, but it doesn't solve the problem of what happens if a person tries to exit a stuck elevator at the same time that the elevator starts moving again. I have been momentarily stuck in elevators that kept going after a short time (10-20 seconds) without any input from me or the other passengers. If an elevator is stuck, it is obviously not functioning properly, in which case you should absolutely not risk trying to leave it until someone who knows enough to make either make the call that it's safe to exit, or does something to ensure your safety while exiting, arrives.
This is a really stupid position to take. If you want to go on a crusade against bad engineering, elevators are the least reasonable target of your ire. Elevators are the safest vehicle system in the world. Less than 1 in 12 million elevator rides result in any anomaly at all, and those are mostly minor. Out of every ~20 billion annual elevator rides, about 20 people die each year, and those are mostly maintenance or installation related.
Any brilliant solution you come up with to enable passengers to safely exit a malfunctioning, stuck elevator without any assistance is going to do some combination of significantly increasing cost, complexity (and therefore more things to go wrong, and harder to maintain), and/or risk to the people installing and maintaining the system.
TL;DR being stuck in an elevator for an hour is not a big deal. If there is a medical emergency, it won't take that long. I got stuck in an elevator in a hospital, once. It took about 45 minutes for them to get us out. There was a nurse (and a few other people) in there with me, and I mentioned that such a long response time would've been a problem if there had been a very sick patient in there with us. She said that something like that had happened a few years prior, but the hospital called 911 and it only took like 10 minutes to get the patient out. Since they knew it was just me and a nurse, both perfectly healthy and safe, they waiting for their own technicians to get us out. It was around lunch time, a few people had bag lunches, and we all just sat on the floor and they shared their food with the rest of us. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Could 10 minutes be a long time? Sure. But I can't find a single documented case of injury or death due to being stuck in an elevator that those 10 minutes would've fixed. You're more likely to have a heart attack while driving and posing a risk to yourself and others than you are to suffer such a time-sensitive medical emergency while stuck in an elevator. Does that make all personal motor vehicles badly engineered?

Because it's more entertaining.
Also, because it's more accessible to an audience of casual readers.
Yep, that's close to one solution I would have given you. With funnier stick figures, obviously. Close to, because it doesn't have to be a single giant plate, it could be telescoping/collapsible, a sliding/steel curtain, etc.
Sounds like somebody needs to be hit with more punitive damages. I can't wait till I get called to testify and tell a jury exactly why and how it would have been so simple to prevent the plaintiff's agony. Itching for it now.
Only if you use the unnecessarily "giant" metal plate extending downwards (and upwards(?), for some reason), as you describe.
Only if maintenance has the exact same level of mechanical access as the public. Of course, there are mechanical devices that would help distinguish maintenance and the public. We call them locks.
Only if you don't mechanically lock that out, either-or. Which would again be a bad design. And yes, I know there are more bad engineering opportunities in building a system that prevents self-correction while a rider tries to escape. Plenty of ways to do this wrong. And right.
In the same way that prisons are also the safest vehicle system in the world. The Nile is a river in Egypt.
Yes, we don't see anything wrong with trapping our sickest people in systems that are not designed and engineered to be inherently escapable, and with relying on there not being a break-down in communication and there being qualified others to get us out of the fix, quickly. Also, elevator riders are excellent diagnosticians and are best placed to assess exactly how quick a response is required.
Almost all of them were, before Ralph Nader. And tbh, the river in Egypt above reads like someone's industry could use a Nader moment.

Almost everything you said in that entire post is ignorant or trite, and you are not worth responding to any longer.
I can't resist this part, though. You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Elevators don't kill people. Trying to engineer them to be easily escapable in the rare occasion that they do get stuck would either greatly increase cost, or more likely, actually kill people. Possibly both.
Leave it to a tort lawyer? (my best guess) to find a problem where there isn't one. Cars were unsafe; they aren't, in general, now. They are certainly still less safe than elevators. So, by the way, is being outside in a storm. Did you know you're 1000 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to die due to an elevator-related accident? Actually, since most elevator-related deaths happen to maintenance and installation workers, and you aren't either of those, it's even less likely than that!
Nader would cry if he heard you conflate the problem of car safety in the '60s with the non-problem of elevator safety today. He would probably accuse you as being part of the problem that he's been fighting against lately, that tort law is dying in part because of heavy-handed reaction to stymie frivolous cases like the non-existent cause you're trying to chase right now.

Consistently diverting excessive resources to non-emergent situations would almost certainly result in a truly urgent situation being neglected bc resources are not infinite. It's not about cutting costs or putting a price on somebody's life, it's using resources efficiently to maximize successful outcomes. Things like the probability of specific events happening at any given time are considered and, while I honestly don't know the frequency of people have medical emergencies inside of a stopped elevator, I would guess that it is not very high? Maybe I'm wrong tho and we should work on fixing this huge flaw in our emergency response system...

Imagine an elevator cab has stopped halfway between floors 13 and 14. If the elevator doors are opened, it creates 4 gaps: the top and bottom halves of floors 13 and 14. All of the gaps have the potential to become an impromptu guillotine, should the elevator move. The gap at the bottom of floor 13 also opens up to the elevator shaft.
You can go on and on about possible solutions or safety measures, but the most efficient solution is simply to post notices and warnings that the doors must be left closed until a technician arrives. I personally think we should avoid throwing money at minor problems.
Controversial idea: If you want to save lives, don't start with elevators. Your money will save more lives elsewhere.
PortonDownSyndrome ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 08:02:02 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But there already is a mechanism โ the mechanism that does keep doors closed, and traps people. All I'm suggesting is smarter mechanisms, at relatively very little extra expense, if any.
Controversial idea: If you want to save money, don't start with trapping people. You will save more money elsewhere. Good design/engineering is only expensive if you start by not doing it.

I couldn't help but believe that the poor kid does this every time they're in an elevator.... sitting in there, dead faced as his mother-shaped potato turns around just in time to see his blank stare as the doors button behind her. Just mashing 'close,' praying desperately that this may be the time and they finally forget or give up, so that he may finally know peace.
"Goddamnit Rony, lil Dirk gon n dun went n pressed dar there blasted vator ergain! Urrgle (unintelligible) lil Dirk goddamn, get uncle Buck, big Ron, Chedder, and the meth guy, wer gotsta open der this up open ergain!" Sigh, I remember being a 7 year old.

Free fall is unlikely to do anything. The air pressure will likely slow the elevator like a ball falling through a tube. The terminal velocity wouldn't be dangerous to the people inside.

True that. I was in college and we decided to see if the "weight limit" was really accurate. We crammed 20 college students in the elevator of the business building when the limit was 16 - sure enough, we stopped between floors and the doors opened to a wall. Kinda freaky - problem was, we had the brilliant idea to do it on a Sunday and we all had to wait for maintenance to get there. We were stranded for about 2 hours waiting for the on-call guy to get there. Yeah...no one was running around pulling fire alarms for us.

I've been stuck in an elevator for 1.5 hours. Another person in the elevator thought it would be funny and pulled the stop run knob but when she pushed it back in it didn't restart. So we were between floors. Took a while for those brave but slightly agitated firemen to get us free. The funny thing about it was I had a girl friend at the time and she was a little insecure at the point in the relationship. I happened to get stuck with three random girls who happened to have just returned from the liquor store. I had a hard time explaining how they went from being stuck in an elevator to sleeping in my house. Relationships never end well or else they wouldn't end... Am I RIGHT? edit: for the record we used the phone located in the elevator that said "Call if trapped" It worked pretty well.

As someone about to graduate a fire protection program , the pull every "fire alarm" comment really speaks to that woman's ignorance (although so does everything that family did).
Not only are you now diverting first responder resources from actual emergencies potentially happening in the area, what do you think you're going to gain by pulling every pull station? It's not some sort of cumulative effect where it's going to ring louder each time, or speed up your rescue. It will in fact have the opposite effect since they now have to evacuate the building, ensure there's no fire and reset all those pull stations. Once the fire department gets there and finds out they are the ones responsible, I don't see them being all too eager to help them out, more likely they would be fined for missuse of the life safety systems.

The inconvenience of an 18 y/o and a 6 y/o having to wait half an hour in a stuck elevator is not worth forcing the entire hotel to evacuate.

To be fair, the major evolutionary factor of what was holding us back intellectually, was high birth fatalities in individuals with larger brains; modern medicine has practically guaranteed the survival of these individuals, which could contribute to a rise in human intelligence.
Natural selection is still, and will always be an issue in some form or another.

He's suggesting that our survival up to this point shouldn't be considered long-term. And considering we've invented not one but two ways to wipe ourselves off the map in the last 150 years or so, and we are likely to invent a third in the next 50 years, I'm kinda inclined to agree with him.

No. He sounds stern but fair. Seriously. In most countries in the world now you need a license for your dog. Ask yourself why. Now ask yourself why this is not the case for a child.
Let's rephrase it to a money talks scenario. Would you be happier getting 20 bucks extra a week with knowledge so would everyone else of your upstanding fellow friends and family members, not loosing that money going to people free loading off the state because the state rewards said people more and more if they have more kids as such further removing them as people from the work spectrum while making a sit back and breed more halfwits lifestyle more appealing?
If you have not seen the movie Idocracy I strongly advise you check it out, given how old it is now and how many small details part of it are now basically true, one could say it's ironic I guess. It's not a bad movie either given that it's been used as a point maker here more than anything.

What /u/Zubalo said. Co-Ops are great and there are most likely other children in the neighborhood/area. If they're still not social enough you can encourage sleepovers and have them study with other kids at their houses.

Why has society accepted that kids don't need stay at home moms? They're a very important role. Everyone is happier when a mother takes care of her kids, house, and husband.

It's pretty much common sense.
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf
Let's start here. At least half of americans earn less than $15 an hour (breakdown by occupation). Depending on where you live, that's barely enough to support one person. Kids are expensive, and supporting another adult who sits at home on top of that just isn't feasible. We're not even considering things beyond the bare minimum here.
https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2017/01/13/cost-raising-child
Rough ballpark that will vary by geographical location. Anyways, like I said before, it's common sense. Unless you are fairly well off, either high income job or other source of money, both adults need to work.
edit: people complaining about source that goes to the bls anyways, smh

I don't have a dog in the minimum wage debate, that's a separate discussion. Also, you surely don't think flipping burgers is the only industry that pays under 15$/hr (which isn't even the minimum wage in most states)? The takeaway point is that half of americans make less than 15$/hr, I'm just using that article to paint a general picture of incomes. Compare that to what it is expected to cost to raise a child, and you have your answer.
harbfead ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:03:05 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The annual cost of a family with 2 children is around 57k a year. http://cost-of-living.careertrends.com/l/615/The-United-States
That's the average income in the USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States#/media/File:US_Real_Household_Median_Income_thru_2014.png
JarvanIVplay ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 03:07:39 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
Sure, but costs are compounded over 18 years, which is how long you normally support kids for.
Household income includes families with two working adults, which is a different metric than salary, since we are debating how feasible it is to support a family on one salary. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/famee.nr0.htm
According to this, 60.6% of US households with children have two working adults. So yes, it is possible to achieve those numbers in 60% of households with two working parents, which actually supports my point that many households require two incomes.

True, but the point is not everyone can do it. Whether it be lack of opportunity or ability, not everyone can earn 60k a year alone. As the data suggests, many can't. Society needs janitors, waitstaff, etc., but we can't pay them that much.

That's a bit harsh honestly. We're not talking about bums here, these are people who are working. They are capable of supporting a child, it just requires both of them to have income.
You seem to be implying that people who work in certain professions should not be able to have children because of their income, which is pretty wtf.

It is entirely possible to have a good connection to your family with two working parents. Take some time off after birth, but when your kids go to school you can can easily work without sacrificing time with your family. Broaden your perspective a little.

With jobs that pay less, you're most likely working a repetitive job or a muscle job. Those drain people, especially the women. They're not meant to work. Women are happier when they work at home and spend time with their kids.
JarvanIVplay ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 03:50:51 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm curious about something. If women shouldn't work and are completely dependent on men for income, then going back to your genetics argument, how are women selected? Based on their ability to attract the highest income male? Since otherwise, as you said earlier, if the man can't support a household on their own they should not have children.
harbfead ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:06:49 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How does a man choose a woman? They go for looks, intelligence, character, ect. A man with a higher income will choose someone in his league. This is just a generalization but that's how it goes. A woman chooses a man based on his looks, intelligence, character, income, ect. Couples can't be too different or one gets bored of the other.
If they want to pass on their genetic line, they will want kids. It's beneficial for them to have children because children bring happiness to the parents throughout their life.

I don't know why you're calling it "ad hom", I'm actually pointing out a fact. You act like your life is so busy that doing laundry would take away from time you would be working.

No, I'm pointing out that no one works 24/7, so acting like doing household chores takes you away from being to work is ludicrous. And you're an excellent example of how ludicrous that is, since although you have so many phone calls to make and so much work to do, you have a LOT of disposable free time, which is demonstrated by how much time you spend on reddit.
lipidsly ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:48:36 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Again, this is not a real/full example. It is a simplified example to discuss the basic ideas. And again, you're using anecdotal evidence (while using implications of my character) in order not to discuss whether someone not doing a job frees up their time to do something else, however they may use it.
If you'd like to say that using the internet is more taxing than doing household chores like laundry, vacuuming, cooking, watching children, etc. then be my guest.
As a different example, if you could afford to, would you make your kids work during high school or not have them work so they can focus on their schoolwork? Or will your argument be: "but they used that time to watch TV!"
-susan- ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:10:31 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Anyone that has a full-time job still has time to do household chores, unless they're working 60-80 hours a week. The end. You are just merely an excellent example of how someone claims to have no free time for that sort of thing, but clearly has a LOT of free time for that sort of thing.
That's a terrible example that makes no sense, a better example would be would you make your children do household chores (since that's what we're talking about), or simply let them focus on schoolwork? And the answer is, I would make them do household chores in addition to their schoolwork, because it's a skill everyone needs and in order for them to be functional adults, they'll need to know how to look after themselves and house maintenance. It also teaches them personal responsibility.
And guess what - this may shock you - my stepsons go to school, have part-time jobs, and ALSO manage to do their household chores, all while getting good grades.
You're trying to provide excuses as to why a grown man couldn't look after himself and also pull his fair share around the house, but so far you haven't given a single valid reason.

So yes, if you arent working 100% of the time, in your view, you are lazy and should do more. Whether or not that makes things easier or not (my argument) is not relevant for you. Thats fine.
And i worked full time in school and did very well. Theoretically, if i wAs devoting that time to my studies i could have done better or i could have been less stressed. But, as we've established, these are not only not preferential for you, theyre BAD. Again, thats fine.

No, you were saying "I do laundry but it takes up precious time I could be working", which is clearly laughable since you have a LOT of free time for reddit. And I am saying having to work is no excuse to not be able to take care of household tasks. You're now backtracking.
But you were saying as it as if it somehow wasn't my point. I don't need you to reiterate what I've said. Also, the refusal to spell vagina correctly just makes you look a bit silly. You definitely give off the vibe that you live at home and laundry is the chore mom assigned you.

No, I was saying that was exactly your point. That somehow the only reason women would do household chores is because of sexism. Which is ridiculous. If the guy is unemployed, then that might be quite likely.

Taxes being stolen? That's absurd. That's what my taxes are for. They pay for police, for health care, for roads, for water. They pay for the awesome society we have.
My taxes are certainly not stifling in the slightest.
And yet I have never known nor heard of a fellow Canadian financially ruined by a health issue. Never known anyone to have to weigh whether they should get the medical care they need because of fears of cost. My wife's mother - my wife's American mother, who Immigrated to Canada, had cancer and eventually died of it. Despite being an unemployed single mother, she got top notch health care including in home nursing.
This is how it works. When everyone pays into healthcare via taxes, everyone pays a very small amount overall. In the US, healthcare is enormously expensive because that burden is shared by a lower percentage of the population.
There's no "theft"; even calling it theft is absurd and ignorant. It's what those taxes are for. Proof's in the pudding. Have you EVER met a Canadian who wished we had the US's health care system? I certainly haven't. We're all very happy with our health care, from the well off to the poorest of the poor. We all benefit.
And that article...? It's a nonsense, ill-informed opinion piece. There's whackjobs everywhere in every country spewing all sorts of nonsense.

Because:
1) You pay less for you this way. Even in a traditional insurance model, everyone paying means everyone pays less. It's just smart business, as EVERYBODY eventually needs healthcare.
2) You are a part of society. Maybe you're just a selfish asshole who just wants to take from society and not do your part, but this ensures everyone contributes even if they are selfish assholes. Society requires cooperation to function. And you DO take from society. You have sewers, running water, emergency services, national defense, and so much more. People are stronger together.
3) Because your post above makes you a horrible person. A really, deeply, awful person. You imply that the only reason people can't get adequateโ health care is that "they screwed up" or they didn't budget properly. This ignores that there's lots of health problems that can happen due to no fault of your own, and lots of health problems that cost far more than most could budget for. Reasons you could lose what was adequate insurance through no fault of your own.
Not caring about anyone but yourself, even at a cost to yourself, is narcissistic and awful. Empathy, man. Try to be a better person. Or at least be less horrible.
Even if you insist on selfish assholery, re-read point #1. Insurance is cheaper for each person when everyone pays. But really, instead, just try being less terrible.

We should all be independent in what we choose to get and not get. The fact that you use government services does not indicate anything about whether you agree to pay taxes or that you will use them. So really the government are selfish assholes who want to take your money and use it on someone else.

trump didn't win because people are tired of being called racist idiots. trump won because it was time for a republican. i know it's fun to pretend there's actual strategy to this thing, but the only strategy comes in securing a second term. we elect left, our problems don't get fixed, so we try right instead. our problems don't get fixed, so we go left again. still no results, so we go right again. it's a ridiculous pendulum.

It should be a privilege given to those who understand who and what they are voting for on a basic level. There is no "right side of the fence" considering your vote would still be cast to whoever it is you wish to vote for, but only after answering questions that validate you understand their promises and intentions. I have no other argument, It's as simple as that. How is that so terrible? and is extremely comparable to the license analogy. You don't just let people do things they don't understand how to do when it could effect others.

Just because someone is stupid doesn't mean they don't know what they want in life. Someone with a low IQ could still have the knowledge about something you don't, and could still vote in their interests. Why should the government or anyone tell them they can't vote on issues that impact them? Everyone with a voter ID should be allowed to vote.

Well, you get to vote.
And disagree with what? There's nothing to disagree with. There is a reason voting is set up the way it is. A lot of people in California wouldn't get to vote, so guess we will have republicans over and over, since the average IQ there is 95.5. Which is what I'm assuming your test would be testing? Even though intelligence isn't objective like temperature, height, weight, or color. Or what, would your test be a series of questions that if people don't have the same opinion they don't get to vote? Who's making this test.. liberals? conservatives? Hopefully not California. So who exactly would you be cutting out? Or would it be simple questions like is the sky blue today? We already don't let actual retards vote. I mean honestly, what exactly constitutes stupid to you? Someone who is religious? Someone who has a gun or doesn't? You mentioned redneck. What constitutes a redneck to you? Someone who works on a farm? Has conservative views? Someone who hunts? Someone who smokes? Someone who wants stronger borders? I mean what is that word to you? You see how loose words can be? Will this test just be based on who is fundamentally better in the eyes of the test makers? Who exactly would be making this test? Just let me know exactly how this test would be done so I can tell you even more how retarded this test idea is.
Everyone has their own personal interests that are important to them, their communities, and states. You, the government, or anyone has no right to tell them what their interests should be or who to vote for. If that's what you want, maybe we should just get rid of the government structure we have right now and just let a dictator run everything.

Disagree on what? Maybe you should read into literacy tests that were introduced in 1890. Or maybe you should read about the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The strongest supporters of having a test to vote have and even now are conservatives btw. As a conservative myself, I think those that are in favor of a test are misguided and short-sighted. Some even think that there should be a poll tax. Do you think that's a good idea too?
This idea was actually born out of racism towards African Americans. It's a clear way to suppress voters. Always has been.
If they didn't allow me to vote, I'd pretty quickly stop listening or paying taxes. I think there is a long list of people who would do the same. Because if a person doesn't get to vote, there is no reason for them at all to submit to the rule of law. They didn't get a chance for their voice to be heard, so there is no reason for them to listen to the voices that were heard. Unless you want to enforce fear in probably a large amount of Americans who wouldn't get to vote. Then back to my original point, might as well get a dictator signed up right now.
One third of Americans can't even name one of the three branches of government. Fewer than a quarter know who their senators are, and only half are aware that their state has two of them. All of them shouldn't vote? I bet if you didn't have google, and someone gave you the political intelligence test, you would fail too. So why not just let like a room of 10 people choose who is going to be the next president? Or why not just one really intelligent person who you deem worthy of that task?
A test to vote is a failure to human rights, and it's suppression. You can disagree all you want, but it won't ever happen and for good reasons too.

I like how everyone keeps saying this. Yeah a lot of people are on Welfare in the red states. I wonder why. Want to talk about why? Maybe because their jobs all got fucked. Or they live harsher lives and are sick and waiting on disability in the mean time? Anyways bad statistics like the rest. Of course states with huge cities are going to have more jobs, and less people on Welfare.
However, I've known people from blue and red states on Welfare. Most people in Red states feel ashamed by living on Welfare, and are looking for work. Yes there are some that abuse the system, but guess what? We have in my state at least that they have to do community service, and actually have to prove they working towards a job now. Something all states should adapt.
Now blue states, I've met people that are ashamed and really looking for a job, however I've met a lot more that are just comfortable. Like what is being given to them is what they should have. "Support meh" type of bullshit. What's worse is these states allow it by not having basic rules such as community service or looking for a job while on Welfare.
Red states want more jobs. It's always why we are talking JOBS.
Which brings me to my next point.. Welfare. You know what falls under that right? Unemployment insurance, and Universal healthcare. What do people get when they get laid off? Unemployment. Then because of Obama they were forced to get Obamacare or pay a fine.
The rest you commented let's go over it.
College educated: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-mythology-of-trumps-working-class-support/ The median household income of a Trump voter is $72,000.
College-educated white men voted for Trump https://newrepublic.com/article/138754/blame-trumps-victory-college-educated-whites-not-working-class and Hillary only won them by a very small margin. They are more likely to be employed too.
So this actually tells us, it was more than education. Had nothing to do if a person was educated or not, everyone just had strong opposite opinions.
Your stats are shit.
And you say this while not pointing out, that he didn't lose the educated vote by that much.
Fat, whiny, and screaming.. sounds like someone who would vote for Hillary to me.
Have to enjoy when people say things like "Blue states take care of every other state hurr hurr". People like you complain that for example California pays out more to these states, but the majority of it goes to federal objectives, and the shit you Democrats keep wanting like Obamacare. Federal objectives: Defense, transportation, space exploration, preservation of wilderness (Which btw is big in red states), ect.
Red states do not want to be on Welfare. I think we voted and made that clear. WE want jobs. So if you care so much that the blue states are going into red states, maybe fucking vote right so we can get some jobs over here. I mean did you ever stop to think that the blue states year after year support big government programs on election day, then either don't fully support the states that don't want them or bitch when they do support them? Make up your damn minds. It's fucking retarded at this point.

No buddy the reason red states are on welfare is because of bad economic policy:
https://youtu.be/1KKCXJ6WesU
^ Left wing economic policy invests in its citizens, produces more educated people, invests in infrastructure. Robert reich explains. Industries like Silicon Valley started in the Bay Area for a reason - because well educated progressive people build entire industries around ideas. The phone you're typing on was build due to left wing economic policy providing infrastructure to growing businesses. There's a reason the best schools and industries are in blue states - and I can assure you if red states started enacting progressive policies they too could be innovating and building industries like blue states do.
Obamacare was originally a heritage foundation plan - it IS a market based plan. It's not a left wing plan at all - it is a hell of a lot better than what we had before, but it's not what left wing people wanted. We wanted single payer healthcare-- if you will recall, republicans were such fucking shit heads that Mitch McConnell said were going to vote against every Obama puts out no matter what - we couldn't even get a public option, not that Obama pushed particularly hard for single payer.
https://youtu.be/D6efP9u4yAU
You want jobs, then stop voting in clowns that cut taxes for the rich and deregulate industry. Jobs are created in a virtuous circle / you invest in the economy and infrastructure, raise wages so people have more spending power - raised wages mean more demand because of more spending, which translates into more hiring.
You say people in blue states just seem comfortable on welfare? I think you know that's made up garbage. This has nothing to do with people and how they feel, people need to survive on welfare or not. I'm not happy that redstate people are suffering - I feel sorry for them because they think the right wing policies they keep voting in are helping when they are devastating the economies they are in. Every state that implements more progressive economic policy benefits in every way -
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/apr/01/occupy-democrats/meme-touts-mark-daytons-economic-successes-minneso/
^ read this carefully - although some of the stats on the meme are incorrect, largely it's true. The entire framework of economic analysis that right wingers have is just flat out wrong. Progressive economic policy is good for business, good for the economy, good for the workers, good along all metrics.

More conservatives are on welfare in red states - the likelihood that any individual family is on welfare is more likely to be conservative -- liberals on average have higher educational attainment, which is also strongly correlated with not voting for trump. This has been demonstrated.

I'm mentioning all the other comments, because they're all responding in the same manner to that comment. Why would everyone respond with eugenic comments if the original wasn't about it at all?
I think you're the one who needs to address their reading comprehension skills as I already addressed OP's comment before moving into the other responses to it.
That's direct commentary on the original comment. I'm repeating myself here, but apparently it's necessary. Something I neglected to mention was they refer to them as 'the female' and 'the male' as if they're animals in a nature documentary. The all caps "AND" seems to imply that even if they were allowed to breed, they're too incompetent to choose their own partner.
What if it were in response to video of black people? Or disabled people? Or any other disenfranchised group?
Or maybe even more bluntly without even needing context:
Is it clearer there?
Or go ahead and replace breeding and freedom of choice with some other basic fundamental right, and it's still horrifying.
I assume OP is joking, but they're still joking about eugenics, which is responsible for the torture and deaths of literally tens of millions of people, and it sounds like there's at least a kernel of truth there.
I could see how it could potentially misinterpreted if it were in response to someone suggesting they shouldn't be allowed to breed, affirming that they do have do have that right, but there's no context to imply that. The comment is in direct response to a "trashy" family behaving poorly, and OP was trying to make a tongue in cheek point.

So like, if, hypothetically of course, there was a similar situation in which a black family was freaking out about their children being caught in an elevator, and a video documenting it which showed very little context, would it be racist/offensive to make the same comment? Asking for a friend... I would never, don't even think about it buddy, i could never say or think something like that about anyone, but lets say my friend hypothetically asked this hypothetical question, would that be racist?

And everybody freaking out. If you ever get in a situation with that with a kid, just complain that its boring, even if you're scared. If you seem nonchalant, they won't be nearly as worried (or at least you wont feed their fears).
When kids see adults freak out, they will absolutely get upset.

Really? You're on the trash family side? They made the situation a thousand times worse. The staff was completely right in not freaking out along with them, remaining calm is important. And the girl was not in any danger, at least from the elevator. It was only 10 minutes, they absolutely should have waited.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 07:07:06 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
As far as the video appears, nobody handled it correctly. Obviously this video wasn't started when the elevator first broke, so we don't know what happened at the start. However, since the video started, the staff seemed generally disinterested and unconcerned. There is a difference between calm and in control, and the sort of distant attitude that was shown.

I wonder if they thought they were the first people this had ever happened to and that if they didn't get them out as quickly as possible the elevator would go crashing down at a moment's notice.
Although I'm sure the security guard had already told them that there were people on the way who have dealt with situations like this before and could handle it. But since that solution wasn't good enough he should be put to death.

I was in high school and got stuck in an elevator. Everyone started freaking out and started pulling the fire alarms. They thought that by doing so the elevator doors would automatically open. It was before we know how elevators worked. It was back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I can understand why they were angry at him. He clearly didn't care enough about their precious child. If he truly cared then he would have been running around screaming like a drunk chimp, waving his arms in the air in a frantic panic whilst screaming abuse at everyone, calling 911 (fire, police AND ambulance), pulling fire alarms, calling homeland security and calling in bomb threats to the hotel. It's the only reasonable response to this kind of situation.

Yes but IMO there is a difference between a young child stuck in an elevator all alone and one stuck with an adult.
Which is to say that the latter ought to be a far less dramatic emergency.
Excepting of course if that adult is some kind of sex offender, but given they don't try to beat the shit out of him it doesn't seem like that was their concern.

BTW, i know you are being sarcastic, but I just want to add. I read the description apparently the crying 6yo girl was stuck in there too. But nevertheless, during situations like this, isn't it best to stay calm and comfort people stuck in the elevator (especially the 6yo girl) to avoid panic? The stuck up family pretty much made a huge deal out of a small situation and scared the crap out of the girl stuck in the elevator thus why she was crying. And they act like its the staff's fault that their children were scared..
crunchymush ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 03:47:37 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Creatures like these are 100% certain they are behaving appropriately because that's what their entire lives are like. Unfortunately I used to be semi-related to creatures like this and their lives were full of gross overreactions and violence because they lack the mental capacity to process anything that happens to or around them. It's by sheer dumb luck that this family is still alive.

I live on the island where this happened and i agree wholeheartedly they are disgusting, from what i was told, the maintenance staff were already on the way, 10 minutes into being stuck they break the door, and if u listen to the video u can hear the housekeeping staff telling them maintenance has been called and is on their way.

that isn't the biggest danger, the biggest danger is the elevator moving while you're in between the floor and the elevator crushing you. an elevator crashing to the ground is very unlikely due to the safety features, an elevator making a small drop before the safety features kick in is way more likely. or if it simply started moving again for some reason.

I'll say I don't have kids so I don't really have that crazy strong parental instinct or anything... But even IF you had small kids in there, it's not like they're going anywhere. They're not going to run off or get kidnapped which are the real fears when parents are separated from their kids. And elevators, contrary to popular belief, don't just free fall. The most dangerous thing they could do in a situation like this is pry the doors open (which they did) which little kids couldn't do anyway.
I think there's this latent phobia regarding elevators and it makes people freak out like this before they take a breath and realize everything is actually ok.
a_user_has_no_name_ ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 03:40:03 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think the lesson here is you should always let kids out of an elevator first so that you make sure they don't get stuck in them. Also with the kids out of the elevator safely and the adults stuck inside it would be much easier for kidnappers to take the kids.
ghostpoopftw ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:17:25 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well there's also concern for the kid's potential mental state of panic, fear, and a sense of impending doom because a kid shouldn't be expected to be totally okay in a confined space with forced separation. Just because the kid won't die or even be actually harmed, there can be a lot of real distress there. I have sympathy for that.

It's the best metaphorical joke there is. That pried open elevator door looked like the busted vag of the kind of trashy person that would give birth to second generation trash.
It kind of makes you wonder at what point a genetic line starts becoming trashy. Where does the cycle begin and where does it end?

Definitely the best part! At first I felt a bit of sympathy for the family and the child who must've been frightened stuck in an elevator. They are handling this very poorly, I thought, but I can understand feeling panicked having your child trapped in small metal box.
Then when they finally pry open the doors a giant douche emerges in full hulk mode. And the situation suddenly reaches a whole new level of ridiculousness.

Love how in his rage he almost punches that little girl in the face though. Also how she is reacting by screaming and crying. The kid was absolutely traumatized but that probably wouldn't be the case at all if the family's adults didn't panic themselves into such a rage.

That's exactly what I thought and I was putting myself in their place, but then thinking what the heck was a small kid doing by herself in an elevator in the first place. Elevators are not disney rides. Let's say the door closed when I was carrying things out and for some reason I wasn't holding my kids hands, and this happened. I would freak out a bit on the inside , but I would try to act calm and tell the kid fire department is testing, please press the red button and the button that has a bell on it, while calling 911 myself. When I saw that guy climb out of the wrecked elevator, my blood pressure shot up more than it's supposed to.

They are. It is concerning that all of them are too stupid to figure out how to pull the fire alarm though. What if there was a real fire in the hotel because one of their meth pipes caught a curtain and they all could not even figure out how to break the glass on the fire alarm?
Seriously. Are like 30% of people literally so stupid they can't figure it out? Break glass... Here is a metal thing specifically for breaking glass. Or use a fucking key or something.
It is scary if there are tons of fire alarms in buildings that people are too dumb to operate. More scary because many people literally are that stupid.

Like I said in another comment, elevators are machines, and just like any other machine they wear out and occasionally break down. Service techs often have hundreds of elevators on their route that they have to take care of. An occasional shutdown is unavoidable.

I too work in the elevator industry. People get trapped every day. They are usually stuck for up to 15 whole minutes. It is always an easy fix to get them out.Honestly you'd rather the safety devices that cause the entrapment to be too sensitive rather than fail all together and be unsafe.

I was once trapped in an elevator, because the "elevator is properly aligned to the door" sensor broke. The elevator didn't stop on my floor while going up, nor did it stop on the top floor, but instead it stopped at the "now this is too far up" sensor, 10cm above the top floor (so practically on the top floor, but slightly misaligned with the door). The door still didn't unlock. At that point I could press any floor and the elevator would go down, passing the target floor and ending up 10cm below ground floor. Doors still locked. Called help, 10-15 minutes later I was out.
So the "door align" sensor failed in a safe way. It could have unlocked the door WITHOUT the elevator being on the other side, which would have been way more dangerous.

Strangely if the door sensor failed in the unsafe way it's be safe for you but possibly not for others. From your perspective you'd just see a wall or the doorway split between two floors. It's someone on the outside who could accidently walk into what is supposed to be an elevator but is really just an empty shaft.
Worst elevator accident I've heard of, which is supposedly real but sounds like urban legend, is a guy getting his head caught in the door when the sensors failed, elevator goes up and decapitates him. Really sucks for the people who have to take a ride with a disembodied head as well.

I had the same thing happen to me and a friend in an elevator in old house in Rome where you had to open the external door yourself. This happened because I tried to open the door to early I think.
Buttons worked and went to every floor possible but internal door wouldn't open because elevator wouldn't align with the floor. We went to first floor though and there elevator fixed itself, aligned correctly and the door opened. We took stairs after that.

Probably more like a load-trip - either power sense tripped, or a controller fault. It just went into a safety mode which is "don't move, but don't open the doors either - that won't be safe if I am not sure where I am" - and wait for a competent service operator to reset me.

First of all there are two types of elevator lifting systems. Traction and Hydraulic. Each has its own type of safety devices. Hydraulic has less safety devices because in the event of a failure the pressure would bleed slowly and not be a danger of crashing. Traction elevators have ropes and counterweights. The counterweight keeps the car from falling fast as long as they are connected. If the ropes fail an overs-speed governor trips a locking device on the car to grab the rails and stop the car. There are other safety devices as well but those are the basics.

Don't count out electrolysis! It usually results in just a pin hole in the jack, but I've heard of horror stories of large freight cars being loaded at an upper floor and the weakened jack blows out and the elevator starts hauling ass down the hatch
youngscholar92 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:01:26 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This isn't out of the realm of possibility. I also work in the elevator industry. The hydraulic cylinders that were installed pre-1973 were what is called single bottomed, meaning if the welds break due to electrolysis the weight of the piston causes an immediate evacuation of hydraulic oil into the ground. All hydraulic pistons after 1973 were required to be double bottomed. This means there is essentially an extra "pocket" at the bottom end of the cylinder with a small hole leading to the rest of the cylinder that allows a controlled downward travel in the event a weld on the cylinder breaks.

Yeah. It's not like you can force every elevator to be updated immediately when a newer safety system is invented.
There's still gonna be older models out there using older systems.
I'm sure there are rules/laws, and historic old buildings have to eventually comform. But not instantaneously.
More like... "Well, this method is 10 years old now and proven safe. Let's go ahead and ammend building regulations to include it (or better) as the required baseline now."
TuckerMcG ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 01:52:07 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm guessing here, but the other elevators probably have slightly different failsafe mechanisms that are equally effective, but technically different than the ones he got his certification on.

HurtfulThings ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:01:36 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Probably not what causes the people to get stuck, but yes there are quite a few different fail-safe methods in use in elevators that will not allow them to fall.
I think one of the coolest is this old flywheel system, but I can't remember the name of it.
It's completely mechanical too, so it works even without power!
There is a flywheel with weighted, spring loaded arms. The wheel spins as the elevator moves. If it spins too fast, the centrifugal force from the spin pulls the weighted arms outward which in turn applies pressure to an emergency break.
So unless this system breaks, it's impossible for the elevator to descend faster than a set speed.
Here's a photo of one http://m.imgur.com/JBKOmcU?r
I don't think they still use them in modern elevators though.
I'm no expert.
youngscholar92 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:04:46 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
This is a flyball governor. Governors are still used on all traction elevators, however they are typically referred to as centrifical governors and are often mounted on the elevator cartop on some machine roomless traction cars rather than machine room floor. They are no longer manufactured with flyballs that will blow your knee out if you arent careful.
Cakiery ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:30:02 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If an elevator somehow falls too fast and misses the bottom floor, and hits the bottom of the shaft. It will bounce on some very powerful springs. There are redundancies for redundancies in elevators. If you hit that spring, you are in a very bad situation.
On a side note, most elevators also have special modes. They generally need a key to activate. The most common is "fire" mode. Which essentially shuts it down and gives the person with the key full control. The less common mode is "executive" mode. It's essentially for important people. You put the key in and it ignores all requests for the elevator and skips every floor until it reaches the one you want. You can also put most elevators in "attendant" mode. Which means everything has to be done manually by somebody sitting at the controls.
If you want to watch a somewhat humorous talk about people testing elevator security and features, I recommend this.

Maybe it's just me, but I have the worst luck with elevators. I have been stuck at least 10+ times. One of which was my fault because I was little shit jumping in the elevator scaring my mom. Got a good whoopin' for that one. lol
Everytime I've been stuck in an elevator, it takes at least an 1+hrs. The service sucks here in the GTA.
This one time, I actually thought I was going to die. The elevator flew down several floors at the speed of light, then proceeded to turn on the bouncy castle simulator which was miserable. I did not know an elevator was capable of doing something like that.
Here's a picture inside a malfunctioning elevator from one of the apartments I used to live in. It took a really long time for the elevator to pick a floor. Found another picture, same elevator, different day.

Our maintenance guy had a thing to open though and only one time I remember the fire department getting called. It wasn't really a regular thing but it happens sometimes.

We keep our mechanics in pretty tight areas. If a call comes in from their area they drop what they are working on immediately and take the entrapment call. So yeah usually 15 minutes. There are exceptions but not many.

True story, I once ate some acid with a friend who did some mushrooms. He was visiting the new place and the baby was at a my parents for the weekend.
The elevator in my building is... Rickety. I don't like it. He didn't either. It's sketchy. So anyways, we eventually decided to go for a walk downstairs around the block to trip out.
We both were like, ok let's take the elevate-- actually.. Maybe not.
So we took the stairs.
We found out later that my wife's friend, (who used to live on our floor) got in the same elevator shortly after we decided on the stairs. She got stuck in it for like 2 hours.
That would have been not fun while high on acid.

I'm in new install, not service, so I'm not even involved with people getting stuck. It's just a matter of fact though, there are millions upon millions of people traveling on elevators every single day. They're not magic boxes that teleport you up and down buildings, they're machines, and just like every other type of machinery out there, they get old, worn out, and occasionally break down. Then on top of that you have power outages, people being stupid and triggering car safety's, etc etc.

That's very rare. If an elevator is brand new and was put in properly, then it's unlikely to shut down outside of freak things happening. When I say elevators shut down all the time, I'm talking about ones that have been running non stop for 30 plus years with hardly any maintenance done on them.

If there is a fire in the building then the elevators should go into fire service mode. Which means they would all stop answering calls and immediately go to the main floor so you can exit the building.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:12:51 on March 28, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Doesn't the fact they are stopped in the first place imply they wouldn't be able to go to the first floor?

Right, then you're fucked. But if you want to talk hypothetical, what if a flaming airliner full of small children crashed into your house while a delivery of nuclear warheads on a tractor trailer crashed into your living room at the same time? Would you still want to live in that house?
Being ridiculous to make the point that yes, if enough bad things happen, modern mechanics can result in your death. But the likelyhood of all those things happening is low. If you don't want to fly because of the danger, go right ahead, you'll just have to spend more time traveling.

I was more answering in a general sense, I suppose I didn't really give a great answer to your question. In a situation like that, even though it goes against logic, you're still safest in the car. There have been some seriously horrific accidents from people trying to escape elevators. There are very few situations where a fire would reach you before help would. Unless the shit has seriously hit the fan, and the building is coming down any second, I'd definitely opt for the safety of the giant steel box I'm in rather than trying to make it in a hoist way with a car I don't have control over.

Used to work with the transport team for the local hospital. It had this large underground complex that used to span a few kilometers until they decided to block the tunnels off. This led to some very old, forgotten but still functioning elevators hidden away in various areas. Most was found around the various elderly homes or old hospital wings.
They looked worn to hell so I never trusted them when I went exploring during my longer breaks. But some colleagues who had been working there for some 40+ years would mention how some kids tried them. One did get stuck and maintenance had problems finding the old elevator since it was among the "hidden" elevators. Or one of the few that no one had checked up on for the past 10 years.

It's rare for someone to get stuck in a newly installed elevator, it's not rare for someone to get stuck in an old piece of shit that's been untouched for years. Is that really a hard concept for you to grasp? Do you also not realize that a 30 year old car has a higher chance of breaking down than a 2017 model?

I haven't changed my story once, I initially said people get stuck in elevators all the time, which I still stand by. Talk to any service tech in a major city and they would tell you the same thing. It's not uncommon at all for one guy to have multiple entrapment's on his route every day. The majority of said entrapment's are from old cars that are in desperate need of modernization, not fresh installs.

I think they were prying at how it's extremely rare for a car to breakdown, but cars do break down quite often.
Or it's unlikely to trip on a paving slab, but it likely happens very often across all people.
It's the jump from personal to a total population. I am quite rarely sick, yet there;s a good chance that several of my undergraduate students have some form of flu.
So yeah, something happens all the time out of a total population, it will occasionally happen within groups, but is quite rare for the individual.
Unless of course you knew that and were capable of grasping that concept, like most people, and were instead being astute for the sake of sounding trying to be witty but ended up coming off as either missing the point or trying to be smug rather than witty.

A minor inconvenience doesn't give one the right to cause damage within 5 minutes. Help was on their way. The white trash was not told, "Oh, this could take 6-12 hours." If they would have remained calm they probably would have been told, "Help has been called and they should be here within 10 minutes and have them out within another 5-10 minutes."

Getting stuck for a few minutes is one thing, getting stuck for hours is something else, and that didn't happen here. I'm thinking these people aren't familiar with elevators. And they probably also threatened to sue everyone. And when that went nowhere because no one suffered any measurable harm, they posted the video.

It pissed me off that they pulled multiple fire alarms. Pulling one should set off the whole building so everyone on the premises evacuates. Its not like pulling more then one means its more of an emergency and FD will come quicker. All that happened is a bunch of pullstations need to be reset and the glass rods changed.

I'm not at all saying they didn't overreact or that they were in the right, but I think that the main thing to remember here is that anger is typically a secondary emotion. There was obviously a lot of fear in this family. They probably don't work on elevators, so they don't have the same thought process as you would were you to be stuck in there. A mother knew her child was stuck in an elevator, and that frightened her. It seemed like nothing was being done, so that fear multiplied tenfold and escalated into crazy behavior.
I'm not saying that the family is correct in acting the way they do, but the lack of empathy is a little unnerving. She's obviously terrified.

The worst thing you can do if someone is stuck in an elevator is pry the doors open, you risk someone falling down the shaft or being crushed if the elevator starts to move. Let the professionals handle it, call the fire department.

I try to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they think that, despite being stuck, the alarm would send the cart to another level. Installed a system in a school where if the bottom floor went into alarm, the elevator went and opened on the second, and if the second floor has a fire, it defaults to the first floor. Both floors had exits to outside.
Problems with trying to be devil's advocate here:
Its already physically jammed.
Why would a building with a single exit-able floor default the elevator to above a fire?
People have been stuck in elevators for days and they still walk the earth, they could have just fucking waited for actual help.

I was going to say the the same thing - call the professionals - sure it would have taken an hour or maybe 2, but it would be safer.
my rule with kids and elevators is - walk in front, stop at the doors in case they start closing, let the kid get off, then follow the kid. Kids can be too short for the "electric eyes", or may not have the strength to stop an elevator door.

Itsjudgementday ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 01:54:13 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
More of like a first response type situation if it's an emergency. Firefighters are able to take control of an elevator with keys designed to activate fire service like they would in case of a fire. Not all entrapments can be solved by fire service, so you're best bet would be pushing the "help" button in the car and they will call the elevator company.
AndysCandy14 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 02:52:14 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
They shouldn't. The elevator service provider should dispatch a technician if there's not one on site. Entrapments are more common than you think. They are a safety feature. The fire department just destroys the elevator if they get someone out and cost the property hundreds of thousands of dollars
dinostar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:36:02 on April 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's 100% not true. Firefighters are able to open the doors with special keys, recall elevators, and access the tops of elevators to either move them up or down, or throw a ladder through the hatch to help them out.
AndysCandy14 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:58:16 on April 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Elevators don't recall during a real entrapment. It's the first thing they try. When they access the elevator they have zero regard for the equipment. A technician is trained to remove the person as the equipment is designed to do. Firefighters are not trained on that. I've seen it happen at my building.
dinostar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:33:55 on April 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It depends on the elevator, reason for entrapment, and apparently training level of the firefighters on scene. There should be very little to no reason for firefighters to be destroying your elevators.
OH_NO_MR_BILL ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 01:32:02 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Someone stuck in an elevator is an emergency situation. Firefighter are trained to deal with people in high stress situation as well as how to free them from elevators (people can get stuck in an elevator during a fire). This makes them the most logical choice to assist. An elevator repairman could help also but they are usually not as readily available.
Hatchdoor ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:23:29 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, it's not an emergency situation unless the persons trapped are having a medical emergency. Elevator techs are more experienced and better trained on how to safely free people from elevators. Also elevator techs are on call 24-7, just push the help button inside the elevator and the answering service will dispatch someone. That being said I love the FD especially when they destroy the elevator because we get to fix it. Job security my friends

If you call 911 we will come sooner. We go non emergency for people pulling pull stations because it is usually BS. Driving emergency is dangerous. Plus, these moron don't know there is like almost zero chance they will be hurt in an elevator.
We first try and recall the elevators to the lobby with the elevator fire keys. If that doesn't work we kill the power to the elevator. We have these fancy things called elevator keys. Opens the doors right up. Takes like 5 seconds. Plus, we bring a small ladder just in case the elevator is stuck between floors. It is a pretty routine call. Here is a photo of us doing it last year. I love the cops expressions.

I wouldn't call the fire department. Call the front desk, or, better yet, have your 20 year old man-child within the elevator read off the emergency phone number for the elevator technician right below the panel in the elevator and give them a call. 9 times out of 10 its Thyssenkrupp and they have 24/7/365 emergency service. You can call them, or the front desk will. Or, hell, have the man child use the in-elevator emergency phone to be directly connected to the service department for dispatch.
Elevator companies take this shit seriously, they're going to have a technician out within minutes.

You don't even call the fire department when your elevator is stuck. You click the help button, get connected to the elevator service responsible, or the hotel staff, who then contact the maintenance guy who can reset it or something / or they contact the elevator people.

I got sorta stuck in an elevator once. Went in, pushed button, doors closed, control panel went dead and wouldn't respond.
The doors weren't locked, though. A relatively easy shove and they opened right up. Didn't have to break anything.
If the doors don't open easily, it's because it's fucking hazardous to have them open right now.

Took your dog 2 hours to realize you were the only source of food, and he was hungry! I hope you don't live where it snows a lot!

I got stuck in the bathroom at work once...basically they are a seperate little building, theres a door that leads to a little hallway where the bathrooms areand thats it. The outside door was all jacked up and this SSgt and I were leaving at the same time. Door won't open, he tries it twice and then looks at me and says "We are going to have to eat. You have to take one for the team" and I was like "Jesus Christ, its been 30 seconds!! No!!"

I have a kennel trained dog from when I lived in an apartment.
Now I live with a giant backyard but when I let her out there when it's not to shit or play she just lays on the old kennel bed for hours waiting for me.
Makes me feel so bad every time I check the cameras at work.
Zanki ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:53:33 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If I let my dog out back and close the door, she'll just sit at the back door and eventually start whining. She does not like being locked away from me and she's not a clingy dog. She doesn't do it if she's been left alone n the house. If we are in the house though and she locks herself in my room when I'm cooking, then you get an upset husky.

This is why you actively discourage dogs from thinking shoes are a chew toy. Cause sometimes shoes have feet in 'em.

You misunderstand. The article focuses on that time a man was stuck in an elevator, not exactly an eventful event, right? Well, the article is just shy of 8000 words. At that point, all that additional information is too mind-numbing to read. It's fluff filled with fluff sprinkled on top of fluff. I love contextual information too, but I definitely did not like whatever that pseudo-piece was trying to offer.

I got this.
The longest smoke break of Nicholas Whiteโs life began at around eleven oโclock on a Friday night in October, 1999. White, a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week, working late on a special supplement, had just watched the Braves beat the Mets on a television in the office pantry. Now he wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague heโd be right back and, leaving behind his jacket, headed downstairs.
The magazineโs offices were on the forty-third floor of the McGraw-Hill Building, an unadorned tower added to Rockefeller Center in 1972. When White finished his cigarette, he returned to the lobby and, waved along by a janitor buffing the terrazzo floors, got into Car No. 30 and pressed the button marked 43. The car accelerated. It was an express elevator, with no stops below the thirty-ninth floor, and the building was deserted. But after a moment White felt a jolt. The lights went out and immediately flashed on again. And then the elevator stopped.
The control panel made a beep, and White waited a moment, expecting a voice to offer information or instructions. None came. He pressed the intercom button, but there was no response. He hit it again, and then began pacing around the elevator. After a time, he pressed the emergency button, setting off an alarm bell, mounted on the roof of the elevator car, but he could tell that its range was limited. Still, he rang it a few more times and eventually pulled the button out, so that the alarm was continuous. Some time passed, although he was not sure how much, because he had no watch or cell phone. He occupied himself with thoughts of remaining calm and decided that heโd better not do anything drastic, because, whatever the malfunction, he thought it unwise to jostle the car, and because he wanted to be (as he thought, chuckling to himself) a model trapped employee. He hoped, once someone came to get him, to appear calm and collected. He did not want to be scolded for endangering himself or harming company property. Nor did he want to be caught smoking, should the doors suddenly open, so he didnโt touch his cigarettes. He still had three, plus two Rolaids, which he worried might dehydrate him, so he left them alone. As the emergency bell rang and rang, he began to fear that it might somehowโelectricity? friction? heat?โstart a fire. Recently, there had been a small fire in the building, rendering the elevators unusable. The Business Week staff had walked down forty-three stories. He also began hearing unlikely oscillations in the ringing: aural hallucinations. Before long, he began to contemplate death.
cholas White wasnโt phobic, but he wasnโt exactly fond of elevators. When he was a boy, he and some other kids were trapped in one on their way down from a birthday party in an apartment building on Riverside Drive. After about twenty minutes, the Fire Department pulled the kids out, one at a time. In his recollection, he was the only person to ask the firemen whether the cables might snap.
White has the security-camera videotape of his time in the McGraw-Hill elevator. He has watched it twiceโit was recorded at forty times regular speed, which makes him look like a bug in a box. The most striking thing to him about the tape is that it includes split-screen footage from three other elevators, on which you can see men intermittently performing maintenance work. Apparently, they never wondered about the one he was in. (Eight McGraw-Hill security guards came and went while he was stranded there; nobody seems to have noticed him on the monitor.) After a while, White decided to smoke a cigarette. It was conceivable to him that, owing to construction work in the lobby, the building staff had taken his car out of service and would leave it that way not only through the weekend but all through the week. That they could leave him here as long as they had suggested that anything was possible. He imagined them opening the doors, ten days later, and finding him dead on his back, like a cockroach. Within hours, he had smoked all his cigarettes.
At a certain point, he decided to open the doors. He pried them apart and held them open with his foot. He was presented with a cinder-block wall on which, perfectly centered, were scrawled three โ13โsโone in chalk, one in red paint, one in black. It was a dispiriting sight. He concluded that he must be on the thirteenth floor, and that, this being an express elevator, there was no egress from the shaft anywhere for many stories up or down. (Such a shaft is known as a blind hoistway.) He peered down through the crack between the wall and the sill of the elevator and saw that it was very dark. He could make out some light at the bottom. It looked far away. A breeze blew up the shaft.
He started to call out. โHello?โ He tried cupping his hand to his mouth and yelled out some more. โHelp! Is there anybody there? Iโm stuck in an elevator!โ He kept at it for a while. Nicholas White opened the doors to urinate. As he did so, he hoped, in vain, that a trace of this violation might get the attention of someone in the lobby. He considered lighting matches and dropping them down the shaft, to attract notice, but still had the presence of mind to suspect that this might not be wise. The alarm bell kept ringing. He paced and waved at the overhead camera. He couldnโt tell whether it was night or day. To pass the time, he opened his wallet and compared an old twenty-dollar bill with a new one, and read the fine print on the back of a pair of tickets to a Jets game on Sunday afternoon, which he would never get to use. He imagined himself as Steve McQueen in โThe Great Escape,โ throwing the baseball against the wall. Eventually, he lay down on the floor, intent on sleep. The carpet was like coarse AstroTurf, and was lousy with nail trimmings and other detritus. It was amazing to him how much people could shed in such a short trip. He used his shoes for a pillow and laid his wallet, unfolded, over his eyes to keep out the light. It wasnโt hot, yet he was sweating. His wallet was damp. Maybe a day had passed. He drifted in and out of sleep, awakening each time to the grim recognition that his elevator confinement had not been a dream. His thirst was overpowering. The alarm was playing more aural tricks on him, so he decided to turn it off. Then he tried doing some Morse code with it. He yelled some more. He tried to pick away at the cinder-block wall.
At a certain point, he decided to go for the escape hatch in the ceiling. He thought of Bruce Willis in โDie Hard,โ climbing up and down the shaft. He knew it was a dangerous and desperate thing to do, but he didnโt care. He had to get out of the elevator. The height of the handrail in the car made it hard for him to get a leg up. It took him a while to figure out and then execute the maneuver that would allow him to spring up to the escape hatch. Finally, he swung himself up. The hatch was locked.
At a certain point, Nicholas White ran out of ideas. Anger and vindictiveness took root. He began to think, They, whoever they were, shouldnโt be able to get away with this, that he deserved some compensation for the ordeal. He cast about for blame. He wondered where his colleague was, why she hadnโt been alarmed enough by his failure to return, jacketless, from smoking a cigarette to call security. Whose fault is this? he wondered. Whoโs going to pay? He decided that there was no way he was going to work the following week.
And then he gave up. The time passed in a kind of degraded fever dream. On the videotape, he lies motionless for hours at a time, face down on the floor.

It's a lot longer than I realized after reading all the other information about elevators
jrich96 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 01:40:17 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
A voice woke him up: โIs there someone in there?โ
โYes.โ
โWhat are you doing in there?โ White tried to explain; the voice in the intercom seemed to assume that he was an intruder. โGet me the fuck out of here!โ White shrieked. Duly persuaded, the guard asked him if he wanted anything. White, who had been planning to join a few friends at a bar on Friday evening, asked for a beer.
Before long, an elevator-maintenance team arrived and, over the intercom, coached him through a set of maneuvers with the buttons. White asked what day it was, and, when they told him it was Sunday at 4 p.m., he was shocked. He had been trapped for forty-one hours. He felt a change in the breeze, which suggested that the elevator was moving. When he felt it slow again, he wrenched the door open, and there was the lobby. In his memory, he had to climb up onto the landing, but the video does not corroborate this. When he emerged from the elevator, he saw his friends, with a couple of security guards, and a maintenance man, waiting, with an empty chair. His friends turned to see him and were appalled at the sight; he looked like a ghost, one of them said later. The security guard handed him an open Heineken. He took one sip but found the beer repellent, like Hans Castorp with his Maria Mancini cigar. White told a guard, โSomebody couldโve died in there.โ
โI know,โ the guard said. White had to go upstairs to get his jacket. He demanded that the guards come with him, and so they rode together on the service elevator, with the elevator operator. The presence of others with radios put him at ease. In his office he found that his co-worker, in a fit of pique over his disappearance, had written an angry screed, and taped it to his computer screen, for all their colleagues to see. He went home, and then headed to a bar. He woke up to a reel of phone messages and a horde of reporters colonizing his stoop. He barely left his apartment in the ensuing days, deputizing his friends to talk to reporters through a crack in the door.
White never went back to work at the magazine. Caught up in media attention (which he shunned but thrilled to), prodded by friends, and perhaps provoked by overly solicitous overtures from McGraw-Hill, White fell under the sway of renown and grievance, and then that of the legal establishment. He got a lawyer, and came to believe that returning to work might signal a degree of mental fitness detrimental to litigation. Instead, he spent eight weeks in Anguilla. Eventually, Business Week had to let him go. The lawsuit he filed, for twenty-five million dollars, against the buildingโs management and the elevator-maintenance company, took four years. They settled for an amount that White is not allowed to disclose, but he will not contest that it was a low number, hardly six figures. He never learned why the elevator stopped; there was talk of a power dip, but nothing definite. Meanwhile, White no longer had his job, which heโd held for fifteen years, and lost all contact with his former colleagues. He lost his apartment, spent all his money, and searched, mostly in vain, for paying work. He is currently unemployed.
Looking back on the experience now, with a peculiarly melancholic kind of bewilderment, he recognizes that he walked onto an elevator one night, with his life in one kind of shape, and emerged from it with his life in another. Still, he now sees that it wasnโt so much the elevator that changed him as his reaction to it. He has come to terms with the trauma of the experience but not with his decision to pursue a lawsuit instead of returning to work. If anything, it prolonged the entrapment. He wonโt blame the elevator. โฆ

It's not a phone, it's operator on the other side of the dumb box on the elevator.
But I still think you could have a job on that other side of the call box on the elevator. You are just connected enough to seem relevant, but condescending enough to infuriate a guy trapped on an elevator.

China is beating us because in their culture (unlike ours) if you don't do your homework, you likely won't survive long into adulthood (also career = family honour and elder care). Here you're guaranteed a relatively lengthy life thanks to minimum wage and access to generous social services, regardless of academic effort.

I once got stuck in an elevator for an hour and a half at the Kennedy Center in DC while on a marching band trip packed in the elevator. There was no room to move around at all. One of the chaperones with us freaked the fuck out and started shouting and shrieking in to the speaker every 30 seconds. It wouldn't have been too bad if she wasn't in there.

When I got stuck last week in an elevator at work, it was only for a few minutes. Lady gets on the intercom and makes sure I'm ok. Startled me because I was ok until she asked that, now I'm thinking I should be less-ok about the situation.
You are right about the peace, it was nice in there until it started oscillating between the top and bottom floors repeatedly.

I got stuck (intentionally by high school administrators). The elevators were only for disabled students and being the dickhead I was in high school I felt rules didn't apply.
After 10 minutes I grabbed that red phone which apparently connects you to an operator in like Pennsylvania, who actually was able to deactivate the elevator. School got a big charge for using the service and told my parents we would have to pay it. They weren't having that

Does he need it?
No.
And while some of those may be inconvenient, it's plenty possible to do those on most flip phones. Some of us barely use our smartphones any more than we would flip phones. I don't get more than a gigabyte of data a month so I usually just use it to call or text. I've actually been trying to save up for a fancy android flip phone combo for a while now.

That sucks, if you care about that sort of thing. Years ago I got ahold of my mom's flip phone and was amazed by what I could do on it. It was ultra cheap, but I still managed to get to reading stuff on Wikipedia. Thankfully since mobile meant low data on sites at the time, it was fast and good for the sort of remote area I lived in.
Anyways, I've seen pretty cool stuff in newer flip phones, but they're all too rich for my blood. I've got this bad hankering for importing Japanese phones, but I've decided to put it off until I'm sure of what I want.

This is why a pocket puzzle like a pocket cube (2x2) or even a keychain Rubik's Cube is so useful for some. I can keep either of them in a sleeve easily. I always carry a book or a something to fiddle with when I'm traveling because it just makes sense.
Those metal puzzles you need to separate are so easy to travel with too, people find them easier to understand as well.
https://www.puzzlemaster.ca/browse/wire/metal/
Edit: thecubicle.us and speedcubeshop.com are great for ordering cubes. Even a proper budget cube ($5) is better than a $30 Rubik's brand. The good ones just happen to be Chinese.
Rubik's brands don't turn very well. Accidentally turned it into an art piece one day.

It's not THAT specific though... it's a range of 1000 elevators. Some quick mental math could get you that number.

We were a group of high school juniors on a trip to NASA for a week of mock engineering, which made the situation kind of ironic. There were two people who were pretty claustrophobic, they were having a really hard time and one was crying. I was always terrified of elevators and would stand in front of the buttons if kids were present. However, it wasn't so bad, so after this incident that fear kind of went away.
A bunch of nerds in an elevator. It smelled terrible.

Story Timeโฆ
I got stuck in an elevator in Boston at the Renaissance between the first and second floor. In the one spot where there isn't a door to access from because you're behind the wall above the lobby. It was during the big blizzard of 2013. I was in there for 3.5 hours, missed the meeting I flew to Boston to attend.
I was at the meeting place but nobody was there and it hadn't started yet. I was in the restaurant, ran up to my room to get my notes, and never returned to the table. I used the call button to ask the front desk clerk to get me the fuck out of there, she said the firemen and engineers were on the way. I was freaking the fuck out about missing my meeting though, so she went to the restaurant and apologized for the inconvenience on my behalf and asked if they would be willing to FaceTime/skype until they got me out. Skype was ok, I had her get my iPad out of my room and told her the passcode so she could set it upโฆ.
Then I fucking remembered! I wasn't around my wife and hadn't had a good wank for ages. The night before I was up at all hours doing that walk around the room jerk, the kind where you're not really trying to nut you're really just tickling it hard. The kind you do when you're on the phone, brushing your teeth, flipping channels while porn is streaming in the backgroundโฆ fapfapfap "Goodnight Wife" fapfapfap "Goodnight Kids" fapfap^ โฆ. againโฆ its not really gross because your not actively fantasizing, just tantric hand massage. Yesโฆ This is what I fucking remembered after she had already gotten clearance to leave the desk for my roomโฆ I panicked. I called, and called, and called my room! Nothing! I called the front desk and bit the bullet. I told the guy at the front desk that if he didn't stop her before she went in the restaurant that she was going to set up the whole place to see some really, nasty, raunchy, possibly mind altering porn. It was nothing that was going to get me arrested, just fired, just lose the company possible millions. Thats all.
He caught her in the hall behind the kitchen and they did me a solid, and cleared my internet history and closed all of my tabs before they presented the iPad to the table. I "Made it to the meeting" via FaceTime and we talked for an hour and a half before the firemen finally got me out of the elevator. I got to the meeting in person, it was way casual, we didn't really talk about business because everybody felt so bad that I had been trapped in a freezing elevator. There was a bottle of top shelf whisky waiting for me that the Execs ordered for when I was free. They made me drink a couple of shots before they would even start talking to me. I think it lightened the mood and made me like-able and dependable.
The rest of the night, everything was free. Lobster, Whiskey, you name it. I partied pretty hard that night. When I went to the front desk to thank the Clerks they went to the back to get my iPad sleeve for me and both came out with rubber gloves on and my sleeve was in what looked to be some sort of evidence bag. We all shared a good laugh, I landed the account, got upgraded to a suite, the airport was closed and all flights were grounded. Two more nights of free everything, and the walk around the Suite jerk. Best meeting I've ever barely had.

The difference here is that these trashy individuals' first reaction to any inconvenience is anger. They go from 0-100 at the slightest problem. "Someone is to blame and I am going to fuck them up!"
Normal people don't absolutely lose their shit over something like this, they think out the problem, try to contact someone who can help (without causing property damage) and then calmly wait. If I'd been stuck in the elevator for 12 hours, yeah I might be a little angry at that point, but I bet that this guy was in there for less than an hour.

I kind of got stuck thanks to an elevator a few years ago and felt like a complete dumbass for 30-60 minutes.
I was at Children's Hospital in Dallas and was asked to go pick up a prescription. I guess I heard the directions to the pharmacy wrong and ended up on what I guess was an employee elevator. Anyways, I pressed the button to go to my floor and when I exited the elevator and walked around the corner I was greeted by a blocked off hallway around 15 foot long that was under construction and looked like one of Dexter's kill rooms. Realizing my mistake I went back to the elevator to go to a different floor, but I can't because apparently a keycard is required to do that. After waiting a few minutes for someone to respond to the call button a nice lady helped me out and sent the elevator to a lower floor where I was met by security, asked a few question, and taken through a few private hallways back to the main lobby.

Ugh I got stuck in one for an hour with about 6 people. Worst part was me and one of the other guys were leaving the office to go to a happy hour my firm was sponsoring. We were bringing snacks so we had plenty of food but no booze. Also there was no mobile service except for one dude's sprint hotspot so we all had to connect to that to email people what was going on. There was just enough space so we could take turns sitting down but all in all, besides missing an hour of free booze it wasn't a big deal. Had we gone a bit longer to where people needed to pee it would've been a different story. I did get a $10 food voucher out of it that I promptly lost.

I got stuck in a hospital lift for about 2 and a half hours recently. One of the other passengers was claustrophobic and started hyperventilating. Another had a heart condition. My car was parked across the road, and I got a parking ticket for being there longer than I paid for.
All pretty frustrating and a bit worrying. Nobody in the lift, nor their families, behaved anything like these dead-shit oxygen-thieves.

Yeah, I'm a firefighter and if it's any more than 18" difference in the elevator/floor height it's classified as a confined space rescue which requires a permit to enter. We have to have our technical rescue team do the rescue at that point.

For good reason too. People have died trying to get out of elevators stuck with very little space left open. Personally I would wait however long it took the FD to get what they needed to make sure I didn't get cut in half.

Exactly this. The children were in a considerable amount of stress hearing them yelling and freaking instead of them calmly waiting on rescue. That Hotel employee should not have open the door and neither should the parents. A malfunction of the elevator door could have meant that the elevator would have started moving right as their children were exiting. Instant death.

I would flip out if it was a fully packed elevator since I get anxious in tight crowds, but if it was just me, I'd be totally fine. I'm also assuming you could have things passed through the opening to make it more bearable while you waited like food and something to sit on.

at least for me... well I might be ok in an empty elevator... but I don't know. I was in the back seat of my mom's mercedes SUV last year; and when she parked I couldn't get the seat belt off (the plastic case around the locking buckle thing had fallen off; I was desperately feeling for a button to push, but in retrospect it was downward motion thing I needed to do.)
Even now I can feel my heart rate racing thinking about it; I tried to be calm, locked into that seatbelt, but my mom (who's like 75) was basically useless in figuring out was was wrong and I started full-on panicking.. finally turning sideways and wriggling out the door of the car, leaving my underwear and pants on the seat. I'm sure it was weird as fuck or funny to anyone who happened to see it, but it was straight up the scariest two minutes of my life.
It's a completely irrational phobia, but it fucks with my brain nonetheless. Last fall I visited Bartlesville Oklahoma and stayed at the Price Tower; the only skyscraper ever designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. It has these TEENY, trapezoid shaped elevators that feel tight with one person in them; intensely claustrophobic with two; and three can't fit. Had I got stuck in one of THOSE elevators, national historic landmark or not, I would have done everything in my power to get out of that elevator...

Got stuck in an elevator once. Had to have the FD come out and let us out of the ceiling and climb the ladder out to the next floor.
The whole experience was more funny than scary but I think we were stuck for 2-2.5 hrs. We luckily just grabbed food from the dining area of our dorm so we sat down ate some snacks and bullshitted for a bit.
6/10, would do again.

This is a pretty common run for us since I'm stationed near downtown, so I'm completely ok with not having to call out our confined space team every time the car gets stuck between floors, cuz those guys are a bit goofy lol

I work in private security, and unfortunately I had to witness firefighters utterly destroy an elevator because they were too impatient to wait for the guy with the key to the engine room.
Dunno how it is in the US, but in Europe you can usually manually raise and lower the elevator when it got stuck, provided the fall protection wasn't triggered.

As an elevator mechanic, I can honestly say the single dumbest thing you can do with a "stuck" elevator is try to get out alone. You never know why it stopped itself. Maybe it sensed a failure in a safety circuit, maybe it was a brake failure? There could be numerous reasons. This is exactly why elevator mechanics exist in the first place, and rescues aren't often preformed by other emergency crews (except for life threatening emergencies).
But in the end, the justice is knowing that the family probably received a rather large bill from the elevator contractor for vandalism.

Because when something is free I don't pay for it. That's what I thought.
If otherwise I'd pay a month salary for a stay and now I get it free, then I saved a month salary.

Your comment looks like youre equating paying a months salary for a hotel stay with getting a month in a hotel for free.
Paying a months salary for a thing is by definition not getting that thing for free.
If thats not the message you wanted to convey you worded it poorly.
dmitryo ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 11:09:39 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
Oh shit, really?
Well, I'm sorry some didn't get it. I got like 40 dislikes. But some did get it right.
EDIT: now I got time to expand my answer.
So, first of all, let's make it as straight as possible: the described procedure is as far from "free" stay as it gets IMO. You have to make 'vator stuck, then make a scene, break a fkn'vator, threaten to murder a person, make further scene, spoil yourself a stay, make a complete idiot out yourself, possible representing your country, your neighborhood or/and your family name in a worst way possible, risk possible lawsuit and even arrest if there is any great justice, for being able to skip a bill. For me it's the definition working hard for your money! Free, right?
THAT, or instead, you can remain calm and assertive, wait for technician to fix the 'vator, which probably stopped because some genius accidentally pushed the stop button (but could be anything), possibly get a reduced bill or complimentary something (although not fkn' likely). The job reference is for that matter: you worked hard, you paid the bill.
Now, you are working hard in both cases, but I would much rather not make a scene to get a free stay. I dunno, that's just me. Don't get me wrong: I like a nice healthy conflict and never run from a fight, but that's not it. I understand that some might consider that situation a huge win. Well, I don't. And also I don't consider this to be a good example for a child: to teach them panic and make as much noise as possible, destroy everything on your way and go on stampede in every minor uncomfortable situation - IMO that's a shitty parenting. I would try to calm my child and keep her calm until the matter is resolved. But hey - who am I to judge. And then again - maybe they have another, better values and want to raise their child differently, so in their opinion they are the definition of best parents. That's fine.
But having all above-mentioned points in the consideration I am still convinced that I'd rather work for a month, get a salary, and spend it calmly in a hotel instead of making a fake scene, as suggested by a person, to get a "free" stay. That's as far from "free" as possible for me!
Now let me explain something else. See the first sentence? "Oh shit really?" That is pure sarcasm. I'm completely aware most people wouldn't understand my comment, and actually I'm hoping, most wouldn't. It doesn't mean some people are smarter than others, off course. Just my wording is that. Or just a person didn't have time to stop and think about it for a second. It doesn't mean "slow" - just in a hurry. Aren't we all?
And the part where "I'm sorry about some people didn't get it" means not apologizing. It means it just saddens me a bit to realize that those who get my comment got outnumbered by those who don't 1 to 2. Once again: it doesn't mean there are more stupid people in the world, than smart. Just busy. Just no time. In a rush. Happens all the time.
I hope now I explained it well enough for you, dumbasses? I mean what else would it possibly mean? That a hotel gives you a job for a month instead of a free stay? What retard would think that's what being said? If that's what being said then WTF did I mention the programmer part? Would they give me a job as a programmer in hotel? The level of a human stupidity can be only matched by my intolerance to dumb fucks.
Oh, BTW, if you are offended by "dumb fuck" remark or a "dumbass" remark, remember: I MEANT YOU. ;)
TL;DR Nothing to see here, just an asshole explaining his point as honestly as he can.

Once I got stuck after a power loss and the building janitor had the keys to open the door. The elevator stopped higher on a floor and had less than 1 meter to get out.
He insisted in helping me go out the carefully way possible because he was afraid that I could fall in the shaft.
I said "No way I'm going to get out that slow. Hold the door and get out of my way" and jumped out as fast as possible.

There's two doors that need to be opened in most elevators. The inner door is the really dangerous one to open. If there is a circuit problem or brake problem it can cause the elevator to drop, not necessarily to the bottom but if you're between floors a 6 foot drop can still cause harm, not to mention if you get pinched between the floors.
Pizza1422 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 03:20:24 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Bad luck. Until the problem is diagnosed there isn't an easy way to know what's wrong. Plus if the problem is resolved there's a good chance the elevator would continue doing what it was doing right before the failure (going up or down) and if you happened to be exiting at that moment...
funkyb ยท 13 points ยท Posted at 02:46:58 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's also very easy to slip and fall getting out. If the elevator is stuck between floors that could lead to you falling into the shaft...where you'll die from violently impacting the bottom of the shaft.
BremboD ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:08:39 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There's plenty of online videos of what can happen with elevators. I won't go into detail on that.
As for the doors such as the one the people in the video broke (hall door that you see from the exterior of the elevator), these are typically closed with spring mechanisms, or weights that manually close the door. These are operated via the car door (the door you see inside the elevator) using mechanical arms/belts/motors.
hilarymeggin ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 03:03:59 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Serious question: suppose an elevator gets stuck between floors and the door is open. Should you hop out or wait? If you climb out, could you really get chopped in half? If you stay in, do you risk the whole thing falling with you in it?
buddythegreat ยท 30 points ยท Posted at 03:17:55 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm no expert but I would assume stay in.
The only way for an elevator to plummet to the bottom would be for all of the cables to be sliced (of which there is something serious redundancy) and all of the backup brake systems to fail.
For the car to move the 6' required to close that hole you are climbing through... a whole lot less has to happen.
Teledildonic ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 03:46:27 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even if it free-fell, you're sitting in a box in a partially sealed tube. The compression of the air below you would slow down the car, and you could land at a survivable speed.
glitchn ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 04:57:35 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Elevator shafts width aren't the exact shape of the elevator, so in most, especially a shaft with multiple lifts, there isn't going to be enough compression to meaningfully slow the descent.
KingofCraigland ยท 13 points ยท Posted at 04:47:46 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Completely ignoring the fact that if the elevator did lose complete control it would actually go up instead of down. The counterweight attached to the elevator car by all of the cables weighs more...a lot more. What happens when two objects connected by cables are hung on either side of a giant pulley system with no brakes to hold them place? The lighter one (i.e., the elevator car) goes up.

In fact, it's virtually impossible for an elevator to freefall. Not just because of brakes, but because of the counterweight.
etroller ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 03:52:44 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You should use the communication device inside the elevator to call for help and wait.
Yes, there are dozens of reasons that can get an elevator to stop and then randomly move again, also there are dozens of videos showing how this can go very wrong.
It is extremely unlikely that the cables snap, they are designed with a big safety factor and even if they all snap there is a safety brake attached to the cabin that should stop it from free falling.
What could happen is a brake failure, in this case the elevator can go either up or down depending on the weight inside the cabin. If it goes up the counter weight hits the floor before the cabin hits the ceiling, so the cabin has a few meters to decelerate, fall and stop.
If it goes down there is also the safety brake that should activate, if this also fails on the bottom of the shaft there is a mechanism that absorbs a part of the impact.
Brake failure can be both deadly or harmless depending mainly on the elevator final speed. they usually have nothing to do with being stuck tho, they just happen.
BremboD ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:53:19 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I wouldn't recommend it. Elevator system total masses can be tens of thousands of pounds, and is made of metal. I would want to stick any body part in its path when it is being unpredictable.
I've been in "falling" elevators, both on accident and on purpose. They have so many safety devices, that it turning into a free fall is almost completely impossible. It's more of a controlled overspeed, and even then it has many safety functions to prevent injury. Our code doesn't allow any safety/brake test to exceed 1g in our code. That honestly isn't much.

I have actually been stuck in elevator 3 times. 2 of them were some kind of ancient elevators and they just missed the target. One went like 5cm too low on the way down, and one was like 20cm too low on the way up. This was in Italy and Lebanon and it was really hard to find people who could speak english on the phone numbers listed in the elevator. After being stuck for a while, we don't even know if someone is on the way, we see there is some trigger at the top of the door that unlocked it so we just walked out. The 3rd time was a modern elevator that got stuck halfway between 2 floors so we just waited for a mechanic to fix it.

A background such as yourself could be an asset to a company, but may not be beneficial to yourself, depending on the company. The knowledge you have can help you from time to time, you just need to make sure that the company wants you to become a mechanic, and not use you for your degree.

They might have to deal with their local elevating devices safety authority, but not much more than that.

Absolutely it was vandalism. There was no life threatening event that caused the need for quick evacuation. The elevator company with a maintenance contract was given no opportunity to perform a rescue, as I'm sure but the way these people acted, it was a matter of mere minutes that their "child" was trapped and a technician was not able to arrive on that timeframe.
This would be like you putting diesel into a gasoline car, and saying the OEM is responsible for you being stuck on the side of the road.
The elevator stopped itself exactly as it was designed to in case of emergencies.

But that was a real fucking wake up call that got me lookin for a way out (but i never fucking snitched, im sayin a different way out dont get it twisted)
But i will say 1 thing, that evil MF got his, believe that.

I smoke weed and might have an occasional klonopin (like once every couple months if im really stressed) but i never used drugs. I was involved with em but never really used them. (The hardest thing ibe done was codeine and that was only a few times when thehomie hooked me up with some syrup for free.) but i was involved with all that. I was in way too deep tbh. But then again in my position it was pretty much sell dope or use it, and in detroit, a whole lotta extras come with it and not all good.

True. If you don't mind my asking (if it is something you're into), why? Is it the morbid curiosity, or some facination at the physical frailty of people? Or just mere curiosity?
TotallyCaffeinated ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 05:20:53 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
I used to be riveted to that sub. I think it was almost a compulsion to learn the limits of human frailty and accept my own mortality. I also wanted to desensitize myself slightly to gore, tbh, so that if anybody ever got really hurt around me IRL, I wouldn't freak out and could keep my cool and hopefully help out. (This has since happened btw) Anyway I was glued to that sub and similar websites for like 2 yrs and then sorta got over it and completely stopped watching that stuff. I think I learned what I needed to learn.
It has made me safer in my everyday life btw - I'm more careful as a pedestrian now, a more alert driver, more careful about potential falls, etc., because I keep thinking "remember that video where somebody died just like this?"

Morbid curiosity mostly. It can mess with you at first kinda like watching horror movies as a kid. It makes you feel uncomfortable or evokes fear but you intentionally keep watching. I also dwell on melancholy, sitting outside when it is a bit cold and listening to sad music during autumn for a trancle like state.
After a while one grows apathetic to watchpeopledie videos and it's just interesting but not some sick fetish or something like that.
Also it is fascinating how a life can be gone in seconds when there was so much build up to it. Allt he struggles, all that motivational bullshit that is common in the western world (to keep fighting until it gets better, etc), all meaningless within an instance.
I haven't been seeing such videos for a long time since reddit blocked watchpeopledie for Germany. It's easy to bypass by manipulating the url or get a proxy but I didn't bother enough.

The one I saw from China, the elevator failed when the person had one foot in and one foot out. He died from suffocation because the weight of the elevator was resting on his torso and couldn't breathe.

Think of it like this, if you bend over and touch your toes, your in half. Now imagine at the bend it is smashed/crushed between two metal parts. The top portion of you is now crushed.
Think of it's as folding a paper hotdog style, and just really only fucking up the top half

Good. That sub has legitimate people dying. I was interested and decided to watch ISIS members behead and shoot people, girls get stabbed, a drunk guy fell off a curb and got his head literally bursted open like a bomb by a truck tire and a man falling into a trash compresser.

Foot never truly left the elevator. My money's that he paused to reposition the cart, and he wasn't able to pull out once it started lifting on his foot because of the way his weight was distributed and that he was holding onto the cart.

There's the Korean handicapped man that broke open the elevator door with his little electric cart and fell to his death (Darwin award anyone? ) but there is also cases in China of elevators not detecting the door is open and start moving when people get in. Sometimes people do get crushed. Really rare though. Just enter the elevator quickly if you're in China :)

Your still way to many degrees apart from it when you watch death on camera. Excuse the analogy but its like expecting amateur porn to be a reflection of real sex and a reflection of life as it is. Sure it can happen, but it will not prepare you for death up close.
At worst even if you don't go down the road of seeing it as entertainment, you could end up treating death like a comedy. You want to go see "life as it is" and on the other end someone has to record or find recordings of what you want to see. And its not raw unfiltered choices rising up to what will be seen. On r/watchingpeopledie your unlikely to see recordings of people dying of terminal diseases, chemical burns, viruses etc, or any of the ways you will actually probably die, even the painful ways. You see the most immediate gory violent death that satisfies the disturb me itch. Local news channels have already capitalized on the easy sell of just reporting the day's violence, its quick to capture and not really a deep reflection of anything, this is the amateur version.
The shock of seeing someone die is only part the ick factor, there is also the they are dead and they were not dead a second ago factor, and video cant really capture that, especially in ways that will satisfy your viewing time. Its near impossible to see someone you have never met and have only seen the death of through the filter of a recorded video as an actual whole person. There is also the risk that the person recording could have done something to prevent the occurrence, or call authorities but figured someone else would and decided to record instead and then their actions are simply validated to the potential tune of tens of thousands.
I don't fully object to the subreddit, but seeing it as any reflection of life, and even death, is misguided.

For me /r/watchpeopledie is a tool so to speak. It's fascinating to see some of the stuff. You learn what can happen and what way it can happen. Get a better understanding of how precious life is as well as how random and unfair it can be. I think if something crazy ever happened to me or around me I have a better idea of what to do to give myself the best chance for survival.
I feel if I came up on a bad car crash and I see someone badly hurt I could better try to help rather than stand around in shock. So it does have it's uses. Though some of it does have a way to depress you so I take the subreddit is smaller doses than I use to and skip most of the worst stuff because I have seen most types of things there, got my understanding from it and don't need that unnecessary buzzkill.
Final summation.. For me that place does have its upside.

Absolutely. Not healthy to go every day but on occasion it can be eye-opening. I've learned a lot of safety practices too, like "always step over the flat part at the top of an escalator." It would probably never happen to me anyway, but I can assure you I won't be dying that death now.

Can you elaborate for the less informed?
Masta-Blasta ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 01:25:48 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sure. Basically an escalator has a chain that allows the steps to rotate underneath the stairs that you ride on. It looks like this (SFW not risky click.) In a lot of countries with poor regulations (like China) the top part where you get off is not always secure and from time to time, a person will fall through. The chains act kind of like a meat grinder. It's not pretty. You could Google the video of the woman who managed to save her child while sacrificing her life in the process, which is a death video, but you don't watch her die, she just disappears. It's extremely sad, but she died a hero, knowing her son would survive.
If you live in a country with strong public safety regulations this shouldn't be a major concern for you, but I'm not taking any chances when it's so simple to just step over the grate.

Could you be clearer about which part is the "grate" that could be unstable? Is it possible to use escalators and minimalize this risk? Sometimes using them is unavoidable, esp in airports with luggage. I do travel to China every now and then so it's good to know. Thanks!
Masta-Blasta ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:24:28 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah of course. It's the very top metal square. The grate is the part that the step goes underneath, that you step on when you exit. You're right, it is sometimes unavoidable. But whenever possible, I just take an extra wide step to nope the hell away from it. Be extra careful doing anything in China.

I try my best to not be paralyzed by the fear that it creates. I know that it's no way to live. I guess i can see how it makes you more alert and aware. I didn't think that as a source of value.
Yeah, one of the hardest parts about it is imagining their final moments. Wondering if it was quick. The latest one, someone in a f-150 went into the oncoming lane and hit him head first. I saw a picture of the wreckage from the news and my imagination started to go with it in fucked up places. Maybe that's why those subs seem so unappealing.

You're welcome.

I'm sure your friend didn't feel any pain in a situation like that.

I'm scared of the subreddit but interested enough that I would like t see at least one example why you should not open a stuck elevator door. Have a decent non ptsd inducing one?
Nvrm it was explained below that the door opening can make the elevator start moving again. I didn't understand the obvious and thought it had some other effect. Disturbingly enough I have seen one of these before.

My aunt was stuck in an elevator in NY years ago. I was very young and do not remember the fine details, but sometimes get a run through when my Aunt tells new people.
Power went out and elevator became stuck, hours later the fire department finally opened the door and the elevator was stuck between floors. Imagine opening an elevator door and only seeing the bottom third of the elevator and everyone's feet with two thirds of open free fall room.
One by one they slid out and someone caught them and pulled them away from the opening. Well my aunt came down and the fire fighter did not get a firm grip on her, and she fell backwards through the opening.
If I remember correctly it was a floor or two from the bottom and the structure at the bottom that is designed to catch falling elevators broke her fall. And her knees.
Again IIRC, she was told they would have not tried to free them if there had been electricity and it was some epic blackout so it could have been days before they would have things running again. It was far more dangerous for everyone involved to try to get to them instead of just waiting it out.
My father got caught on the subway that day. One by one police took people by flashlight out so no one would touch the third rail. Everyone was fine if I remember.
Overall, epicly inconvenient day.
Edit: It was '77 after reflection on the timeline of major blackouts in the area. :3

Awh shit, that is epicly sad. Apparently there are (upon further research) approximately 80,000 elevators in New York, approximately 3.1 million people at the peak of daily commute in Manhattan, 53 elevator related accidents in 2011, and only 3 fatalities. So now a fear of mine, but ultimately the lottery of macabre.

Teutonicfox ยท 18 points ยท Posted at 00:09:03 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
another reason might be that the brakes that prevent the elevator from dropping might slip. Theres something like 4 safety features in place to prevent a free falling elevator... sometimes one thing fails, it drops a bit and the next safety feature catches the elevator.
if someone is halfway out the elevator when it drops a foot or two heads will roll.
if someone is halfway out on the bottom side, the elevator will merely be flush with floor or lower.... lot more safety room until crushing happens.
Hatchdoor ยท 13 points ยท Posted at 00:49:17 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There are several redundant electrical safety processors in newer elevator equipment. But physical brakes and safeties are only present on traction elevators. On a traction elevator there's the primary brake, which doesn't stop the car but only holds it (unless it's 2-speed AC). Then there is the emergency brake or rope gripper which stops unintended motion in the up direction. The governor is what really prevents a "free-fall" of a loaded car in the down direction. But just know that if the machine failed after the brake,and with no rope gripper, the elevator would go screaming to the top of the elevator shaft not the bottom because the counterweight is heavier. But with proper professional maintenance that rarely happens in the US.

I've been in an elevator when this happened. First it got stuck, and then a few minutes later it dropped a bit and caught itself. After that we pried the doors open and crawled out because we were worried it would drop again.

Well I do know that if they opened it up at the floor above they still were not high up enough for there to be an opening. They would have to have lifted the car. Like this. Those in the elevator car were essentially eye level with the middle of the floor above them.

This has turned into an (ir)rational fear conversation and as someone who needs safety equipment to open Nutella, that is fine by me. A lot of these are like the cosmic lottery of, "Oh god did I read that right?!" obituary mentions. Myth Busters made me more scared of sneezing just because I had never thought about how sneezing effects the body.
Also I loathe sneezing, it is only second to hiccups.
crielan ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:58:47 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes. I start to panick if I feel a sneeze coming in a crowd place. Hiccups are absolute torture and I get them often from eating or drinking too fast.
The one cure I've found for them that works most of the time is betting someone money that they can't do it again.
For some reason once you have a financial incentive to do it you no longer can. Which has led me to concluding that hiccups are pure evil.
Back to stupid accidents, one of the worst I had was a puncture wound on my finger that went all the way to the bone. I was throwing meat on a scale to weigh it and hit it on the blunt rounded edge. I still have the scar and had to try and explain that one to my boss.

I kinda left a dumb one out, the might of my Fathers funeral we were going bowling, because he loved bowling. I chased my puppy away from a wood pile with no shoes on right before we left, put a nail right through my to my heel bone. Wrapped that bitch up and went anyways. :3
That would be the third time my heel bone hung out with metal. The first time it was a safety pin and it fishhooked my heel bone. The doctor took one look at it and said, "well we can put another needle in there and numb it before we yank, or we could just yank it out." That is when he put another needle (second time) into my heal because I was not letting then just rip it out without drugs, I am such a wuss.
We need armor!

Ouchie that sounds incredibly painful. I'm having sympathy pains just reading that. I can really get on board with the armor idea. My first day in Hawaii I fell asleep in my chair from jet lag.
When I woke up I realized I did not put sunscreen on the tops of my feet and they were burnt bad. To make matters worse my swimming trunks adjusted in my sleep and were no longer protecting my knees.
This led to a very painful and awkward night of clubbing and I was miserable. My sister ordered me a "red lobster" that was named after all the sunburnt tourist.
My other mishap happened a few hundred feet from shore while we went spear fishing and snorkelling. I stepped on a sea urchin within the first 15 minutes and every step towards the beach felt like a thousand hot needles stabbing me at once.
My toes had a bunch of little blue spots on them from each of the spines and took a couple weeks to go back to normal.

They usually have a something over them to prevent debris falling on the rail and catching fire. That's what the white part is in the first picture. As long as you step on that and not the rail itself, you're fine. Still an extremely risky and stupid thing to do though.

That was just what I remember from the story because I like many others here was like, "third what?"

Sounds a lot safer then a supper zippy pole running along a hole you stand around waiting for the screaming bullet with seats, I am sure since it was so dark they were taking the safe approach as well.

There's a pretty good chance that the power to the third rail is off if the subway is stopped during a power outage. The dangerous part is that you don't know when the power is going to come back on.

I think it was the one on July 13-14, 1977. Or November 9, 1965. Although I am leaning towards the first sense it was the only major one over 2-3 days. My father did mention how crazy everything got around town, so probably the one in 1977. Mind you this is all off recall from stories, I was not born for almost ten years lol.

Thankfully my dad just got scary time in the dark with some other equally scared people, in a tube, in the ground. He was not in any real danger.
We are a pretty accident prone group, so it could have ended completely differently.

I think elevator cars these days tend to have plates that extend a bit above and below the door opening to block the opening into the shaft, to help prevent someone from falling in in this sort of situation.

I worked in a hotel with some elevators that had major issues. I worked room service so used them a lot. They would drop 2 floors or stop between floors. Once i was on one and it dropped 2 floors, not a true freefall, but faster and rough. When it hit the ground floor (our destination) the inside doors fell into the elevator. I wedged myself in the doors and held them open for 2 guests to crawl out. Then i sort of ran out letting the doors fall as i exited.

I used to operate elevators while they were still in construction mode. The cables take some time to lengthen and adjust after installed so we got stuck quite often and had to radio the elevator guys to set us free.
Once I was stuck with about ten from the cleaning crew mostly older Eastern European ladies who were quite literally freaking out. It was a challenge to keep calm and try to keep them calm too.
Once I had a sparky get stuck with me and lose it. He was claustrophobic and was trying hard not to hyperventilate. I tried to remain calm and breathe loud and slow so he could set pace with my breath.
Other than that it was a good job getting paid eighteen dollars an hour to press buttons for people who could easily do that themselves. I remember the elevator guys taught me the trick to prying the doors is to press outward then apart with a flat palm on each door. It worked and I have taken my life into my hands and climbed up or tucked and rolled out of a few of them, for silly reasons like it was lunch or time to go home.
The real scary thing is the outdoor man hoist you run before the elevator is installed. I had one free fall seven stories and then slow to a stop between floors. Same one caught fire and another time the same one had the back door come off while we were two stories up. A worker had his fingers through the grate and almost fell with the door but had to hold it on instead, with all his might before we were able to get to him and came to help him. That thing was an antique. Got a day off after the free fall tho!

If I remember correctly for those who don't know about this, the heat (in the 90s for much of the area) was what caused the initial blackout. Power grids were overloaded, and the lines overheated and laid on some trees. A computer error in Ohio failed to redistribute power, and somehow knocked out electricity starting in Ohio, and traveling up to Michigan, Pennsylvania (where I live), Canada, New york, over to New England, etc.

Blackout of 2003, I was in NY that day. Insanely hot, no AC and roof access if you wanted to climb since security systems were out. Plus I got to see the stars while standing in the middle of Times Square that night. People did die due to emergency crews having to take the stairs and people were scared since it was only 2 years after 9/11. Huge lines at the few public landline phones left in the city and no cell service, commuters slept in the streets since they couldn't get home.

I remember that somewhat. My aunt was there she got some sort of call out in the evening, but I could be remembering it wrong and it was the next night. But that was her major complaint, heat. She fell in '77, but she had to get all the way across Manhattan in '03 and says the scenes in the city were amazing. Everything stopped, no one could do anything but wait. In the hot.

I just remember the story. He passed a few years ago so I would have to check with my Mom or Aunt about it. But he was very specific about that, so I can only guess it was only precautionary. There was not a way to readily check to see if there was any remaining power to the track so they just made sure no one touched it. Gotta cover your ass I guess.

All kinds of dangerous possibilities. As someone else said, if it suddenly started moving he could be crushed if he was in the way. A guy I was acquainted with was killed when the elevator stopped halfway between floors, the doors still opened but a gap of about 4 ft was below, everyone jumped out, and when he did so his coat tail caught on something and instead of landing on the floor he was swung under the elevator car into the shaft where he fell 3 or 4 stories to his death.

Think of the floor of the elevator being at about chest height if you were standing in the hallway. People in the elevator have to climb out of a 3-4 foot gap and jump down to the hallway floor. There is empty space and cables below the floor of the elevator. Like this:

I'm not a elevator repair man so don't take this as gospel. I just work on industrial machinery and can foresee a few different seneros leading to injury or death.
So a elevator, they go up, they go down. Seems easy right? Well not so fast. At the top of a elevator shaft there is a control room where the winch, motors, brakes and computers. Let's say trash lady number one forgets her meth pipe behind the air vent of her 94 Pontiac Bonneville and needs to go get it. She presses the button and it sends a signal to the programmable logic control or PLC.
The signal says to the PLC send the elevator to x level, the PLC then finds where the elevator is in the shaft. The easiest way I can see them doing this is using a shaft encoder on the back of the winch motor. The shaft encoder is a wheel with evenly spaced holes in it that spins at the same speed the motor does. There is a sensor that sees the hole in the wheel and the PLC counts them. Let's say it sees 11 holes per floor and it only counts to a set number corresponding with the highest level. The PLC knows where the elevator is now.
So trashy lady gets in elevator and wants to go down and presses the button. The PLC sees the signal and gets it going in the right direction. There are probably a 100 things that can cause a fault and causes the PLC to stop. The problem I see forcing the doors open is the doors are going to have some sort of feed back to the main PLC. Probably a proximity sensor.
There are a lot of different types of proximity sensors but they all do the same thing, when something gets close they either turn off or on. So let's say the PLC only sees 9 holes on the wheel and it knows it needed to see 11, it shuts down until the problem can be verified and corrected. The PLC is set up to only allow the doors to open every 11th hole and redneck guy forces one of the doors open.
The problem with that is most plc are programmed using ladder logic meaning one rung of the ladder is complete and it starts the next rung. When the wheel didn't see all holes it needed to allow the program to proceed to the next rung the program stops there and throws a fault. The guy rips the door open, cycles the proximity sensor the PLC sees it as a completed task and procedes to the next rung. That could be to shut the doors (trapping body parts) and moving to the next command that probably involves moving the elevator (trapped body parts and vertical moving metal. Not good)
That is the first thing that would jump out at me but I'm not a elevator guy and know absolutely nothing about them but I'm probably not far off. The program should not allow rungs to be skipped but I constantly see PLC systems left with the keys in on program or maintenance modes that allow them to be skipped or bypass safety's. There's also a fall risk. Or you could jam up the door motors, over load the motor windings and have a fire risk. To many variables, if it were me I'd find the maintance guy and ask him to fix it or at least give me a tour of the control room while waiting for smart people.

You're not terribly far off. There is typically a shaft mounted encoder on the main hoist motor, but that is usually paired with vanes and an optical or magnetic reader. It could also be an electrical, tape, or cable driven selector that manages the floor tables. There are no motors on the hatch doors unless it's a freight car. The elevator car doors are the only driven doors and they are set with specific torque settings to not crush people. The hoistway doors are opened and closed via a clutch between the car and hoistway doors. With that being said there is an interlock on every door that is electrically made to signal to the controller when the doors are open or closed. The way they opened the hatch doors they didn't open the interlock, so had the elevator been in operating condition it could have ran which could have hurt or killed someone. But with that being said you are correct, its best to wait for the elevator guys to get there.

Okay...what happens if the elevator starts moving while a kid is climbing through? You also never know you might fall down the elevator shaft. I thought you were joking because what they did clearly was much more dangerous than just waiting on trained professionals which usually takes 30-45 min. Elevators are some of the safest places to be in day to day life.

Agreed. Like, holy shit. Apparently it had been just 10 minutes. People have been stuck in elevators for longer. Their oxygen wasn't gonna run out. These assholes were just monkeys running around and broke the elevator door.
I hope the hotel charges them for damages.
Maintenance was on its way. This could have been solved with both caution and civility. But nope. Then the wannabe alpha man-bun asshole screams that he'll kill the dude in red as if he's at fault for the malfunction.

Yeah what idiots. I got stuck in an elevator for 4 hours once. We were in between the first and second floor so it wasn't that scary but the oxygen supply in an elevator with 5 people in it drains pretty quick, and it gets hot and humid fast. We were kind to the hotel and waited for them to call the fire department. I'm not even sure what they were doing but the firemen couldn't fix it. So we had to wait another hour for someone who worked for the company that made the elevator to drive out there and when he got there he basically fixed the elevator instantly with some special button or something. The hotel comped our rooms for the whole stay and the rest of the trip was fine. No death threats were made either

Until recently, many of the buildings on Ohio State University's campus were epically old. We're talking Civil War era buildings with trees growing out of roofs, Cold War elevators with high traffic.
And in the dorms, a lot of kids one day decided to pile into an old elevator and fuck with it. It lurched suddenly between floors, door open. A kid decided to try his luck leaping at the still open door--and got smeared between the carriage and the shaft.
He died, of course.
Elevators: don't fuck with them. Particularly when they're in disrepair.

I used to work at a hotel and I received a complaint that someone was stuck in the elevator. It took the elevator tech an hour to drive out and finally release this person. Turns out we had a group of Navy SEALS staying at our hotel for nearby training, and the person that was stuck in the elevator was a SEAL. When the doors were finally open, we found him sitting calmly on the floor, likely just relaxing and doing the opposite of freaking out, which is the most logical solution. When he stood up, he didn't say one word to me or the elevator tech, not even an angry glance. He simply walked past us and went straight to his room. It really left an impression on me.

Not necessarily shitty. There's a million reasons someone like that might have a really bad time being stuck and alone like that, and walking away silently might be all they can muster. If someone is inconvenienced to that degree, I say they get the benefit of the doubt at least up to and including walking away silently.

Interesting dilemma. I think we can all agree this Navy Seal has every right to be angry. So based on the corporate ladder he's only allowed to be angry at the elevator designer, but until then he meets that designer he has to have a thankful attitude to everyone else?

I dated an elevator tech for 3 years and I'd say 1-2 hours is a pretty standard wait time. There is a person on call who needs to be dispatched, it might take them 15-20 minutes to reasonably drop what they're doing, might be an hour drive from where they need to be, then they need to assess the problem and fix it before they get you out so that you don't get chopped in half. It's not as simple as just opening a door. If you get out in 20 minutes you are very lucky, and there was a tech right nearby who wasn't busy and it was an easy repair. I've seen rescues that were not infrequently 3-4 hours door to door if the repair was complicated.

Don't ask me how, I don't even know. But I got stuck in an elevator twice before and both times the tech was there in under 30 minutes. I guess I've been lucky.

In my city that depends on who's coming, a security guard or an elevator technician. There are security guards on foot all over the city 24/7 with elevator keys, so they're normally there in ~10 minutes. But if you're stuck between two floors, or if the door/locking mechanism is broken, he'll have to call for a technician after arriving which adds another 30-60 minutes.

It may throw a wrench in the day, but people need to ask themselves if the reaction will help the situation. What will yelling, screaming, and freaking out do to help the situation? Get more people there faster? People can only move so fast. Why not just relax, take the moment that exists, even if it isn't a planned one. No one is in real danger here, so escalating it only makes the aggressor look even more benighted.

I used to live with my uncle and he had a 5 year old son. When his son would fall (just like a regular kid fall, nothing crazy) I would usually kinda laugh at him and say "aww, you're just big baby! You can't even walk!" and he would joke around with me about it and we'd both laugh.
If his dad was in the room he would literally drop whatever he had in his hands (saw him drop his plate of food once), sprint over and like slide to his son holding him and kissing his head and saying "oh my god! oh my god! you're going to be alright! I promise!"
Every time he did that his son would start crying even if it wasn't bad.
Now I live with a friend who has a 1 year old daughter and whenever she falls me and her dad do the same thing I did, just kinda laugh and keep playing with her. Obviously if she takes a big spill and starts crying we console her but its more of a "aww sweetie! It wasn't bad! You're fine! Lets keep playing!"
Works every time
Oh, and before I get lampooned for making fun of a 5 year old for falling and calling him a big baby, he was like my little brother and it was just me teasing him. I actually got teased by him too with some pretty epic burns. Once I was playing 2048 on my phone and he came up to me and without missing a beat goes "what are you doing? Playing a numbers game? Trying to learn your numbers? What are you, a baby? Even I know my numbers."
There wasn't enough aloe vera in the world for that burn.

Same thing happens when kids get bitten by dogs.
Best thing to do is to introduce them to dogs in controlled ways and teach them it's okay. Most of the time you can even introduce them to the same dog, use it as a learning opportunity. Almost all dog bites happen because the dog happens to be stressed and the human fucked up somehow, the most common dog bite is "I'm scared please leave me alone" bites.
Handle it right and the kid is fine, the dog is fine, it's all good. Kid learns how to handle dogs. That's the ideal situation.
Far too often the parents freak the fuck out, demand that the menace of a dog is put down, and the kid develops a lifelong fear of dogs because his/her parents are idiots.
Oh, and fun fact, if you're terrified of dogs that means your chances of being bitten by a dog goes up. People who are scared of dogs don't know how to read a dogs behaviour (upping the chances of them not understanding what is happening). It also increases the chances of them being scared and panicky (which, again, upps the chances of them not understanding what is happening, which leads to them doing stupid shit).
I've seen people who are scared of dogs panic and turn otherwise very relaxed dogs into scared dogs that don't know what's happening.

Can confirm: current dad.
If one of my kids gets hurt or mad or sad, I react to it in the same way I try to react to everything: Open, loving, attentive, calm.
Whenever I deviate from that mode, it's not ideal.
A kid can get hurt, not really react much, go find mom or dad, and then freak out crying. I think that's because mom or dad makes a huge thing out of it.
You can just say "sorry kiddo, sounds like that hurt! Do you need a hug?" you can often skip the histrionics and light-trauma parts.

Absolutely. The safety interlocks are built on certain assumptions based on the way the elevator is designed to operate. If you're in their physically breaking locking mechanisms, you have absolutely no idea what the lift is going to do and what safety features will be affected.
There may well be a built in mechanism that says "If the outer doors are locked, cab is safe to move". If the door is forced open, the elevator may still think its in a "sate-to-move" state and take off unexpectedly.
It was an absurd over-reaction to a fairly common situation and could've ended in pointless tragedy.

Especially when you consider that there was an 18 year old relative in there with her. I mean a normal young adult would probably have calmed the kid and distracted her with a game of I-Spy or something but this dude just freaked the fuck out worse than the kid.

Every kid is different so we can't say for sure, but I don't think he would have been terrified if everyone else had stayed calm. If there's "grown ups" around then kids will usually look at how they are reacting.

That was my thought. Those adults are supposed to keep the kids calm. They weren't in any real danger. Be alarmed, sure! Nobody wants to be stuck in there and it certainly can be a little scary, no doubt. All the more reason to make sure the kids know that they're ok and everything is under control. They probably freak out over everything, everything is an EMERGENCY in their lives. Exhausting

I was about fifteen years old and got stuck in an elevator for over an hour. It was in the first high rise I had even been in. The fire department was called to come open it up for is. Everyone was freaking the fuck the fuck out and started pulling fire alarms thinking it would open the doors automatically. It well before we know how elevators worked It was back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw off hell in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

That's true that you should be an adult for the kid but idk what I would do. I'm really paranoid and have an irrational fear of a falling elevator. I might be a little bitch in there and no doubt I'd be pissed when I got out. Idk though and hope I never find out.

Well falling in the elevator is about the last thing you need to worry about. Of all the shit that can go wrong with an elevator, falling is the about the least likely. You could be trapped in one for the whole weekend, or crushed while trying to climb out of a stalled elevator when it unexpectedly starts moving (which could well have happened to this kid thanks to the idiotic actions of his family), but the chances of the cab suddenly free-falling to the ground are slim to none.
That probably doesn't help you feel much better about using elevators but the main thing to remember is that if something is malfunctioning and there is no immediate danger (like smoke/fire), then you're quite safe just staying inside the cab and waiting for help.

I understand it is unlikely hence why I said irrational. I also don't avoid elevators because I don't think about it. When I do it's because something odd with the elevator brought it up. Like once I visited my wife's family in the city and their elevator was old and rickety. When we came back down I took the stairs 18 floors lol. Wasn't going to get in that death trap again.

Elevators are tied into a buildings fire system.
In the event of an alarm condition, the system will bring all elevator cars to a predetermined floor and open the doors indefinitely. At least in the systems I've dealt with.
But that is obviously when the elevator itself has power and is otherwise working correctly.
Also we can assume none of the people in the video knew that.

This 10-year-old Reddit account, with 240k karma and no prior warnings, was permanently suspended for 'threatening violence' which isn't true. The appeal system doesn't work, they completely ignore those. Support doesn't respond.
The original ban message stated
Yet every new account I make gets banned without reason, even though I'm obviously not threatening violence.
I was banned in a thread from MildlyInfuriating - Where a boy was sticking his head under a public toilet stall, to look at a woman on the toilet. I responded with "Politely kick him in the head" - There were literally hundreds of comments worse than mine.
The top comment was a GIF from South Park of them punting a baby. There were comments saying "piss on him" etc. They must have perma-banned hundreds of people in that thread if that's the standard for threatening violence. This decision lacks coherence because I see stuff way worse than that, every day, for 10 years, yet somehow this was now over the line, without any explanation or warning.
Also, the whole third-party app ban is a shitshow. Now Reddit is forcing open the subreddits that were closed in protest. They don't give a fuck about us. Replacing every comment of mine with this, sorry if useful info or good content was removed, Reddits gonna Reddit.

I'd characterize my dad as a pretty smart guy. Retired CPA. He voted Trump over legitimate economic reasons, not character reasons, and outlined why he did so when I discussed it with him before the election. He believed that Trump would do a better job on policy and on the economy than Hillary, and felt that Hillary was too corrupt to do a good job.
I have not brought up the subject of Trump since November, and he hasn't either. I suspect he feels that his intuition was right, but he was sold a bill of goods. I don't know.

No, he's not, but also bear in mind that prior to the election we didn't really know how Trump would govern. He is a wildly chaotic figure. He had some business acumen and experience, and even though many of his ventures failed, people learn through failed experiences. My father felt justified that this experience and disentanglement from Washington politics would be a good enough mix that he would do better on the economy.
We now know that none of that is true. But I haven't asked my dad about what he thinks on that. I don't intend to, either, I'll let him bring it up.

Well we're talking about people in America aren't we? That's true for all immigrant groups in America. It's not like the Chinese are magically smarter at math than white people. The stereotype exists because those who're smart make it out.
That's true, btw, even for legally-immigrated Mexicans and Africans. The only case when it doesn't hold is for illegal immigrants, but they can't vote so it's a moot point in the context of who voted for Trump.
So yea, don't delude yourself that smart people voted for Trump. The only smart people who voted for Trump are the 1%-ers who benefit from his deregulation and science-denial bullshit. The rest are unequivocally idiots.

Trump came into a broken country, promised promises that anyone with half a brain knew were impossible to uphold and basically duped the country for personal gain. If Ted Cruz ran for Prez I would've voted. Hell, if Pence ran I would've wanted him to be POTUS. Trump? Seriously? He's basically a Kardashian.

Hilarious. You're actually not so far off.
Also read up on the March for Science. When experts, yes with Ph.D's, are so nearly unanimous in their opposition to the current administration's stance on their fields of expertise (Medical/Climate Change) then you've got a problem. Education is typically the single greatest factor in defining who one votes for. There is a very real reason why highly educated individuals tend to vote Democrat and uneducated masses tend to gravitate Republican.

idk, in the end, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were the states that mattered, and the reason he won there was because he managed to get some middle class blue collar workers who last election voted for Obama, to vote for Clinton. Sure, lots of poor people voted for him, but it was the middle class blue collar workers that won the election for him.

Middle class isn't only about income. It's also about hobbies, interests, education.
The ''common'' definition focuses solely on income, because no blue collar making 50-80k/year wants to be called working force, as it is seen degrading, but scholars don't give a damn about that, income is only an aspect of a class.

Well they pop out more kids to get more money from the government. I know a family like this, they keep having kids so they can keep living in their government funded apartment and keep getting free money. Then they complain on Facebook about not having money, maybe if they got a job they would have money.

Honestly this worries me. As we advance more as a society I think we will follow the general trend of having fewer children.
Japan is a good example. They have been growing socially for thousands of years and they are at the point where their population is declining, except we have plenty of land to fill up.
White collar workers in America are having fewer children and people like this are still having more. Are we going to eventually have a massive class divide, where the mostly intelligent upper class hold the money and the unintelligent lower class will fill the population?
If that is the way it goes, I can only imagine that it will lead to riots, or civil war, or some kind of anarchy.
Of course this is wild speculation on my part, but it's something worth thinking about.

George R.R. Martin's a clever and creative man. Same with Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time. He revolutionized cartoons. Dan Harmon's a comedic genius, too. Co creator of Rick and Morty.
Creativity is very intellectual. Perhaps obesity coincides with lower incomes, thus lower levels of education. It would make sense considering all the fattest countries in the world are poor.

As a fellow fatass, yes there is a strong comorbidity between being a stupid fuck like these people and obesity.
Either way even if you're super intelligent it does say something about you. I personally can't think it says anything positive, and personally believe it says a whole lot negative - so it's something I've been changing.
One of the smartest engineers I know is hugely fat. I don't think any less of his intelligence or skill of course, but the assumption that he has a mental problem with motivation is pretty spot on - and is the sole reason he's not retired by now. Show me someone like that motivated enough to keep their life highly disciplined, and I will show you a far more successful individual in the exact same body.
You will find that exceedingly few highly successful people in business are out of shape, and by successful I mean those doing the deals and owning the companies - the folks who actually call the shots. As they age that of course changes, but if you're a 20-something executive type chances are you take very good care of yourself. It's a social signal.
And honestly? Those assumptions are pretty well true. There are extremely few obese people on the planet who are that way due to a true medical condition (far less than .1% of the population). That leaves either stupidity, lack of motivation, or an untreated mental defect (e.g. depression).

See the price of healthier alternatives like organic veggies and free range meat or whatever.. and then compare it to processed/canned foods loaded with sodium and trans fats. Not to say you can't eat healthy on a poor man's budget, but it requires a basic understanding of nutrition, which a lot of people don't have. Poor people tend to have more immediate priorities than tracking micronutrients and when a can of spam can feed a family for a fraction of what a beef stew or a Thai beef salad or whatever have you to eat would cost then it's not so difficult an endeavor to try to form a connection between wealth (or lack there of) and health (or lack thereof).

Both women had crossback/racerback neckline shirts but couldn't be bothered to buy bras to match, showing off their bra straps instead.
It's a pretty key indicator of their trashiness status. Even if they didn't want to buy bras to match they make clips so that you can loosen the straps and then pinch them together, thereby hiding them behind the shirt. Those cost all of 6 dollars. So it's not exactly like the expense was what was holding them back.

As someone who works in security this family pissed me off so much. In an entrapment we call the elevator company and they get a tech there immediately (eta 15-20mins). If this security guard tried to do anything before the tech got there they would lose their job, simple.
Plus, it's just an entrapment, you'll be in there for 45 mins tops, yes it sucks but it happens all time time, just chill.

Why is it such a common occurrence? What usually fails and causes an elevator to stop moving?
Treypyro ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 01:01:42 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Elevators have a ton of safety features. A majority of elevator maintenance is figuring out which safety sensor gave a false alarm.
If any sensor thinks that there is a chance that something might be wrong it stops the elevator. Even if something did go terribly wrong, it's almost always safer if it's not moving.
2CentsMaybeLess ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 01:09:11 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Could be a "real problem", but aso could be passenger influenced.
Modern elevators have safety features (sensors) that can get tripped and stop the elevator. Kids jumping in an elevator may trigger a stabilizer sensor and the elevator will stop functioning. It assumes the building or the passenger cabin is rattling due to external factors, so it's best to stop right where it is, until checked out and verified that it is safe.
If you get inside an elevator and just try to sway the passenger cabin from left to right, you will trigger a stabilizer sensor again and the elevator will stop. When such a trigger happens, the elevator has to be inspected and manually reset.
Elevators do stop working all the time

Because there are millions of elevators and they have safety measures that stop it when it thinks anything is wrong. It puts your safety above your convenience and they happen somewhat often because there are so many of them in the world in use constantly. High rate of use with mechanical moving things always involves issues.

It could be any number of things, for example sensors that get dirty. The elevator has multiple criteria that have to be met before its operational, so if any part stops feeding information, or feeds incorrect information, the default is to shut down (better safe than sorry).

I wonder if these folks even experience elevators in their daily lives. I imagine they come from a small town with one story buildings and barns. Then they save up to go on a big trip. They stay at a resort and trash the place, scream at staff, leave dirty diapers by the pool, generally act like pieces of shit and leave an angry review when they leave. They don't understand things like elevators or tipping. Their kids scream and run up and down the hallways, soaking wet from the pool. The parents shout and yell at eachother and their kids. There's some and angry teen who is probably a couple years from going into the military who'll really outshine everyone and possible cause the cops to be called.
The on Sundays they all pile into the car and go to church and try to act like human beings for an hour or so.

SteveEsquire ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 01:14:07 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Going to slightly play devil's advocate here and say I could imagine some frustration if the security guard did nothing the entire time. I work security myself and I've had people go off on me too. But the first thing he should've done was take charge and say "This is a common issue with elevators everywhere, we're getting someone on it right away. The absolute safest thing we can do is wait for a professional to open the doors and remove them safely." Now the guard(s) probably did do this and resorted to "I'm gonna just let this play out and not escalate these freaks." But if they seriously did nothing to help the situation and just stood there the entire time, I can see where that may frustrate people (not to this level). People look to security guards as authority figures and if they seem clueless or dismissive, it can cause a bit of panic - this happens in the classic Hugh Mungus video. The security guards realize they're dealing with an absolute shithead, so they play it off which causes more panic in the insane person. So when these dipshits see the guards downplaying the situation, they start to panic because there's no one telling them that "it's going to be ok."
I want to be very clear and say that these people are disgusting. But I also wanted to state that if these guards did nothing to deescalate the situation before the camera started filming, they should've been more involved. But again, I'm sure these idiots were going insane when they walked up to the guards to begin with.
EDIT: I hope the guard can press some sort of charges on the man-child that threatened him.

At 0:48 you can hear a female security guard saying 'Don't worry' and watch the lady's outburst in reply. I would argue that these group of people seem unhinged and unpredictable, anything that security would have said or done short of getting the jaws of life to open that door would not be enough for these people.
In short I agree with you, security means authority and taking control of the situation but this was a special case which is why the video is going viral. These people are just nutty.

Exactly. The little girl is going to feed off the families energy, especially the guy she's trapped inside with. That was his opportunity to be a man in a situation and keep the young one calm since that could be scary for a young child being trapped in an elevator. But no, he turns into a pussy and freaks out because he's never been through any sort of adversity in his life. For christs sake, there's children in Africa fighting off wildebeests, and this 20 yr old man child can't sit in an elevator and watch some spongebob on his iPhone for his little sister for 15 minutes.

After working attractions at disneyland (and thus being part of the occasional trapped guest with me scenario), I've learned that you just can't tell who will panic.
I use to drive the Monorail. Those are pretty small in the nose and we'd occasionally get stuck on the track, sometimes with power but sometimes without. There was no reason to panic, I always was trained in how to evacuate from anywhere on the track if something bad happened. Invariably, almost every time we'd stop, someone who looked like they'd normally be calm and collected starts freakin out "but muh kidz!" or whatever, when it's really their own fear; they just haven't been taught how to process the moment and learned what to worry about.
These people remind me of the absolute worst guests I dealt with while at the Monorail. "You're closed? I have to walk!? I'll fucking kill you!" "Okay, sir, I'm sorry you have to walk 3/4 of a mile. I'm sorry my watch wasn't set to your universal constant. Have a good evening." eyeroll

Some people legitimately fear elevators, the man child could fear elevators and with a child you panic the kid panics which makes the whole situation harder. You need to calm the kid and not show your emotions.

Pretty crazy, though to be fair, the hotel staff pretty much shit the bed here too.

They were literally just standing there like they had no clue what to do. Poor training.

You can hear a women telling them to remain calm, and they yelled at her. They came out of the stairs yelling at the male employee. So someone did try, and by the time they saw him the staff were probably worried the family would get physical. They were already threatening him, imagine how much angrier they would have gotten if he disagreed with them and told them to calm down.

Years ago, I pulled up to a red light. Summer, windows down. Beside me, in a truck, is a guy with some rap music blaring.
I looked at him, and I didn't have time to pass any judgment on the choice of music, or the loudness; I didn't really give a shit, I was just at a red light, and I looked at him.
Well, just making eye contact with him, he immediately starts screaming about fighting me, and his voice is cracking, and he's completely, completely lost his mind to this flash-fire anger.
To this day, I surmise that he was low-key embarrassed by his music, and thought I was making fun of him, or I was about to?

While it could be drugs there's a lot of other things that could be going on.
Everybody has had some day or week that was super shitty. Boss just chewed you out, close friend or relative died, just got fired, dog died, whatever. Shit happens but you still have to go through life.
If you are already a hot-head with issues and having a shitty day then you'll have huge over-reactions to minor things. Doesn't excuse the behavior but thinking about someone's mental state prior to an incident can explain their seemingly bizarre reaction.

Oh my, yes. Life is a lot easier to handle if you can give other humans the benefit of the doubt, in this sense.
On the other side, yeah, if you can realize when you, yourself, are becoming, or have become a spring under compression, then, you can sometimes, if you are both disciplined and lucky, release / deal with that pressure in a way that doesn't affect others.
I have gotten pretty good at living like this. But, the odd time, I know I am upset, and I know I need to give myself space, and everyone around me lots of slack, but, still, lower brain functions, fight or flight, I end up being an asshole like any other fallible human under similar circumstances (internally, externally).
Cognitive behavioral therapy, if you can find a good book on the subject, that knowledge can go a long way to reducing stress levels, to disarming fight or flight before it happens/escalates.

Last year I was walking down a busy street. There was a man sitting on a bench that I glanced at as I passed. We briefly made eye contact. He leapt up and started shoving at me and repeating "YOURE DEAD. YOURE DEAD." over and over.
I put up a defensive hand and backed away. When I got far enough I turned my back and he kicked me. Then a stranger jumped to my defense.
Here I am, just a lone woman walking down the street among a dozen other people and I get assaulted/battered by a complete stranger. Clearly, he was certified bananas, but my eye contact set him off. There's something important about eye contact that must be very primal for defensive people.

Really sorry to hear that. I think in general it's more dangerous to be a lone woman walking somewhere than a lone man. The batshit crazy men are more likely to pick on women than the other way around. It really sucks.
E.g. my wife and sister get a fair amount of racist abuse while I don't.

I pulled up to McDonalds drive through the other day and there were two drive through entrances/order stations that merge into one line to get your food, so usually people alternate. Well I thought it was my turn to merge into the line and the lady in the other entrance saw me pull forward and she starts jumping up and down in her seat and yelling/acting crazy and then pulls in front of me. I just looked at her with zero reaction and let her pull ahead of me because I really don't give a shit if someone gets their food 1 minute before me.

No one would deny that is toxic behavior, but attaching "masculinity" to it? Really? Did you see that video posted a couple week ago of that women who crashed her car in a gas station then threatened people video recording her that she was going to shoot them, I would never think to call that female toxicity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SEVg6DU-KY here's the video im referring to i just searched for it. I would never attach woman or her being female to her toxicc behavior

This is what they are referring to. They're not saying that men are inherently bad, rather that how we as a collective society socialize men is toxic and creates toxic outcomes. There's a ton of literature on the subject if it interests you, with many different theories as to why and how it happens. Gender studies is often thought of as being centered around women and trans folk but masculinity has been extensively studied too! I think it's a really interesting topic.
Toyubo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:17:34 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Saying that society makes men bad or that men are innately bad, is very close to being the same thing IMO. I like these sentences in the preface of a book I just began reading called "The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature":
"The romantic notion that all evil is a product of society has justified the release of dangerous psychopaths who promptly murdered innocent people. And the conviction that humanity could be reshaped by massive social engineering projects led to some of the greatest atrocities in history."
kittyminky ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:31:38 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't see it that way at all. The culture we're raised in has a huge influence on who we are as human beings in every aspect of our lives. Whether it's our hobbies, interests, social habits, careers, interpersonal interactions , you name it - none of those choices are made in a vacuum, as much as we'd like to think so. It's not about men "being bad" so much as it is critiquing the negative gender roles imposed on men that not only affect women (hence the term being used so often by feminists) but men themselves as well. One example is the widespread notion that Real Men shouldn't be emotional or openly express their feelings. This is directly correlated to higher rates of depression and suicide among young men and also falls under the umbrella of toxic masculinity. It's not who the man is as a person, but rather the expectations society has for how that man should behave regardless of his natural inclinations. (I am REALLY tired right now so I apologize for that not being as articulate as I would have liked...I hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to say!)
As for the book, I could tell before I even googled the title that it was psychology based haha. Psychology vs sociology (aka nature vs nurture) is a debate that has spanned centuries, and from my experience most people tend to sit firmly in one camp and completely reject the other. One of my profs joked a few times about this "rivalry" haha. Personally I skew towards nurture/sociology but I do think psychology is completely valid as well. It makes perfect sense to me that they would both have an impact on human development, rather than just one or the other.
Toyubo ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:53:00 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well it sounds like you are way more educated about sociology than I am at all about psychology so I can't defend my argument very much. What got me interested in reading the blank slate though was a suggestion from my friend to watch the Norwegian documentary series "Brainwash" in which the host is actually a sociologist himself, and he speaks to Norwegian sociologists on gender and various social constructs, then goes to other experts that contradict what they said. It's all for free on vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/19707588
When I looked it up it states on wikipedia that "Nordic Council of Ministers closed down the Nordic Gender Institute, though it was unclear whether the series had influenced their decision." so to me the nurture argument seems rather out dated. There are lots of various topics brought up in that documentary that I can't pull up accurately thinking about it, but it's basically the only counter arguments I can make to what you're saying so I'd rather let it speak for itself.
And there's not innate reasons for this? It's clear from studies women empathize and are able to express their feelings much better than men. I'm male and sometimes I can't even begin to explain my feelings and if I'm angry the last thing I want to do is talk about it even to people that would openly love me. To me you making this claim is blaming my parents and how I was raised, and I couldn't have had more loving parents.. So if the most loving parents in the world couldn't have conquered this "issue" created by masculine toxicity, what can society do about it?

It's not a blame thing. It's also not just your family. You're friends, coworkers, fellow classmates all have expectations about how a boy or man should act. Effeminite boys get picked on and bullied. Boys are taught to 'man up.' Society enforced certain genderer social norms that are so ingrained that many don't even notice them.
Toyubo ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:46:11 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
Watch the documentary series I've linked the first episode is about gender norms, and it shows how gender is innate. In terms of society, maybe the phrase 'man up' can be used negatively, however, boys definitely respond to challenges much more than girls do, and I don't think it's necessarily bad for boys or girls to perceive something as a challenge to over come.
In terms of effeminate boys getting picked on and bullied.. Never seen this happen, and I thought this might have been unique to my generation but talking to my mom about it she said that they didn't even know what being gay/lesbian meant, and that they weren't picked on but it's obvious looking back a couple of students at her school were gay/lesbian. However, you saying they are picked on is making them seem like victims, something I know my gay friend wouldn't like to think of himself as.
edit: being interested in this topic I went around reading and trying to find different content on it, and came across this video with a part I really like https://youtu.be/O0zQf5NMG8E?t=1180 . You are so quick to judge masculine culture being purely negative while completely ignoring the positive things about it. When you view something as "toxic" you obviously aren't viewing things objectively which I think is really important.

You put some words in my mouth. I am simply pointing out what decades of social research has already addressed. That boys and girls are raised differently. That boys and girls are treated differently. That gendered norms are enforced throughout child rearing and throughout society. You can choose to deny it, but that doesn't mean your correct. Also, pretending that people who don't comply with social norms don't get bullied just means that you are not in touch with certain realities. Also I'm not judging anything, just pointing out obvious facts.
Toyubo ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:47:34 on March 31, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sorry I put words in your mouth, I was really just looking for someone to expand this discussion with because I am just learning about it. In terms of boys and girls being raised differently that is exactly what is talked about in the documentary series, where the sociologists were saying giving boys blue blankets and girls pink blankets at birth has an affect on them, but then other studies completely contradicted this notion.
Boys and girls are just completely different innately despite how they are raised. Girls are more empathetic, boys are more interested in mechanical objects, this was demonstrated even post birth, where they placed a mechanical object and then I believe a face above them (i dont remember the specifics but its stated in the documentary) and boys looked at the mechanical object, and the girls looked at the face. Another study brought up in that documentary with infants who couldn't even walk, they laid out various toys from firetrucks to baby dolls, and the boys were much more likely to crawl to the firetrucks and the girls were more likely to crawl and pick up babydolls.
With bullying I do think there should be more emphasis on the bully themselves rather than why they are picking on their victim. I recall one study done that showed bullies actually had the highest self esteem compared to other students, which contradicted some sociological hypothesis on why people bully (IE they are insecure about something). I don't think it's fair to imply (for example) being gay as to why they are bullied, they are just being bullied because the bully is an asshole. Bullies will seek out various victims for no true reason. I don't want to put more words into your mouth and also you don't seem that interested in carrying this discussion so I wont say anymore I'm more-so just laying out my thoughts.

No worries. Thanks for clarifying. I think this sort if comes down to the nature vs. Nuture debate. I've always suspected it's a bit of both. I certainly won't deny that boys and girls are wired differently and have different physiological makeups. I guess my focus is more on how does society reinforce our differences. I myself don't really fit into my assigned gender role and my parents, friends, and teachers tried to make me fit into that box. They tried to make me play with gender appropriate toys and wear gender conforming clothes and I hated it. I have friends that struggled with the same thing. The other day I saw a dude wearing a dress down the street. He was harrased by some random person. This is a complicated issue and my overall point is that society has certain expectations. And society teaches and expects different things from boys vs. Girls. We raise our boys to play with trucks and girls to play with dolls. Boys are expected to act a certain way and girls are too. For the most part, there's been a shift in that lately. But its very much a part if society. I can remeber my dad snatching a doll away from my brother when he tried to play with it because he wasn't supposed to play with dolls. When he used to get upset my dad told him that he needed to keep it in. Those types of experiences shape you as a person and this is replicated on a large scale.

I think most people look back on their child hood and remember something their parents forced them to do that they really didn't want to. For me it was tennis and also some summer biblical camp thing. I don't think anything is unusual for parents pushing something onto their children that they aren't interested in. A lot of kids might feel like they are being forced into a box even if they aren't struggling with gender identity.
In terms of enforced gender norms, if we see too much of an opposite shift that can be damaging. I believe it's important for people to have role models and a clear identity, things like calling kids "hens" a neutral gender pronoun IMO is more damaging on a large scale than parents taking away a doll.. Which, hey, who really knows why they took away the doll? Maybe they figured it was your toy and didn't want him to ruin it? Was there really something bigger going on here than that or are you implying these things?
With the guy getting harassed for wearing a dress.. Idk, people can just randomly be jerks lol. I remember one time riding my bike and someone yelled at me and called me a loser etc, these things can randomly happen to anyone.. It could have nothing to do with him wearing a dress but idk. I've never seen much hate towards the gay community (if its correct to call it that?) where I live. In areas where there is a lot of hate towards homosexuals, there's also generally a huge increase in crime and other violent behaviors IIRC.. So it's not like they are necessarily specifically targeted they just live in a bad area and it sucks for everyone.

My parents did take away the doll and told him boys don't play with dolls. He was upset and confused. I find it really surprising that you deny the existence of these gendered norms. The other day my friends dad in Facebook got angry with his ex wife for letting her son put on makeup because it made him seem gay and effeminate. These norms are well studied and part of a well established body of knowledge. Also, as a part of the gay community I myself and my friends are harrassed regularly. Not every day but often enough to matter. I'm just really astounded that you are so unaware of these issues or so incapable of seeing how differently society treats boys and girls that I wonder if you're being disingenuous. A very wise person once said just because something doesn't happen to you, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I apologize, my discussion really went off the rails. It started with toxic masculinity then I just had all these other thoughts in my head that I didn't articulate really well or really have a basis of an argument to go off of. The main thing I think we can both agree on is enforcing a someone to be a certain gender just doesn't work. I just found earlier today this report http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/part-three-gender-identity-sexuality-and-gender and have been reading it, and I was astonished when I saw a familiar name, John Money.
Heard about him in this BBC documentary about David Reimer, who due to a botched circumcision that removed his penis they decided to gender reassign him at birth and this Psychologist John Money basically manipulated him and tried to enforce the idea that he was a girl, and he wrote books and labeled his work with David Reimer a success even though David Reimer later on identified as a boy. He ended up killing himself. You being gay, you should know that enforced gender norms don't work, there's something innate with how you identify with your sexuality in my opinion. Here's what's said in that report on John Money:
Going back to the guy with the dress, I didn't mean to dismiss that harassment towards gays doesn't happen but rather it happens because the perpetrator is an asshole and not because gays are somehow in the wrong.. I think it's wrong for anyone to view themselves as the cause of being harassed, if you are gay, it's obviously no reason for you to be harassed therefore if you are harassed by someone that person is an asshole it has nothing to do with you. That is just how I view things and was an original point I brought up in a previous comment on how my gay friend wouldn't want to be viewed as a victim.
With parents enforcing certain gendered ideas, that's a topic which I think I didn't evaluate a basis of my argument well on. In terms of telling boys to "Man Up" I don't believe this is innately bad or masculine culture in general is innately bad, and labeling masculine culture as "toxic masculinity" certainly creates biases in analyzing it. There's some studies for example on how boys and girls respond differently to anger I read a few years ago and basically I recall boys bottle their emotions and don't want to express their feelings, they want to be left alone. Girls on the other hand are more likely to open up about their feelings and tell someone. Now, from the toxic masculinity standpoint you would say this is all because of society which I frankly do not buy one bit and again all my arguments would be completely based on that Norwegian documentary I mentioned in one of my first comments. And also that Karen Straughan video which I know is probably biased since she's an "anti feminist", however it is a video that I agree with a lot and one of the first videos that came up searching toxic masculinity on youtube.

I love that story. Well its sad but fascinating.
I think we are in agreement. I in no way agreed with the idea of toxic masculinity. I was speaking to another point entirely about gender norms. Just more of how society treats and expects things depending on gender. I do think that terminology can create division. Personally I just wish that bathrooms weren't gendered, boys could wear girl clothes and vice a versa. That toys weren't marketed towards one gender. That children are raised in a way that allows them to dress how they wish and play with whatever toys they want. But society tends to have a problem when people start acting out of the norm. My best friend has a daughter who loves trucks and typical boy toys but my friends mom,who is very traditional, says it's innapropriate to buy her boy toys and only buys her dolls and little animals and such. She really wants one of those little tool workbenches so my friend bought her one and her mom got so angry. It's ancedotal but this is so problematic. I often felt this way as a child. While I do think that its possible girls are wired differently and have no desire as children to play with mechanical toys and trucks I do think there are plenty of girls who would prefer those toys to dolls. I think a nature and nurture element is at play here. Children seeking approval may sense approval when they are following the perceived correct social norm. They may get this type of nudge from their parents to act in a certain approved way. Anyhow. It's nice to have a civil discussion and I'm glad we have cleared up our misunderstanding in this way.

I like to think of toxic masculinity as my own penchant to silently suffer my troubles, and, despite my desire for earnest and open affection, to only entertain sexual, more base, ephemeral ventures, lest I expose myself as vulnerable to another (which is amazing, and, wholly sought, obv.).
But yeah, it comes in various forms, kinds, I'm sure.
Or, maybe I'm just talking about masculinity? In a world where it's difficult to be many things, it can be difficult to be a man, too.
edit: I realize I am speaking out of turn, just being honest/chaotic.

Some people (not these people...they are nuts) have faster boiling points. I'm a react first then figure it out person. And my reaction can be over the top at times. I've always been this way. It's usually 5 minutes or less then I calm and get logical. This is not every situation, it has to be pretty serious. And I tend to believe that whatever the worst possible scenario is is the one that's going to happen. It's tough at times. I've gotten better as I've gotten older. I also learned that being self employed was better for me. Just a different view. :)

I've been scrolling through these comments looking for anyone talking about claustrophobia and your example is the closest I've found. I won't take an elevator under 20 floors because my panic attacks start if the doors don't open as soon as the elevator stops moving. Thankfully I've never been stuck, but I know I would absoluely freak and look for any way out of there. There's been what I would consider a close call where at a nursing home the elevator and doors were purposely set to move very slowly. I had to deliver a pizza and couldn't find the stairs to the 3rd floor. I was sweating because it moved so slow and the doors took what felt like forever to open.
Then your comment about all of you holding him down are exactly why I won't fly. Back in high school in PE we were doing wrestling for a month. I was among the highest weight at 220lbs so they partnered me with the 250lbs kid. He sat on my chest and I lost it completely, I honestly don't remember what happened because I remember him sitting on me, me starting to panic and then coming to standing in a hallway with the teacher and class looking at me in fear. That feeling of unable to breath just completely changed me somehow. I fear panicing on a plane, someone sitting on me to hold me down and me just losing it again and having no idea what happened once we get off, or doing something incredibly stupid.

SAME! I was like how are all these people saying, *Gosh, just sit down and wait." I'd be freaking out. I wouldn't act like this guy, but, depending on the type of elevator, I might just faint or cry or God knows what. I'd rather be covered with rats or spiders or whatever than be stuck on an elevator. And, no, I'm not worried about it falling. Phobias are weird things.

That has certainly been the hardest point to get across people. It's not about how much weight a single cable can hold, or whether there are brakes to catch a falling elevator, or anything to do with the elevator. It's all about being trapped in a tiny box.

Oh! I've had this happen to me! Well sort of. A few times my little sister has sat on my chest while we were fighting or something and I've just lost it. She's 3.5 years younger than me and has always been a bit smaller than me, but if I ever feel trapped or stuck I immediately flip out. I remember once she shoved a pillow in my face and I started to panic. It's not fun.

Absolutely, claustrophobia is no joke. I was on the London Underground, something I've used for years without issue, when the tube I was on got stuck in a tunnel. The driver said he wasn't sure what the problem was, that they would hope to be moving soon but that he had no further information.
The tube carriage was crammed, standing room only, and was boiling hot. I'm about 5'6-7, so most people are standing over me and I was suddenly very aware of how stuffy and lacking in air this situation was. I tried reading my phone, listening to music, closing my eyes etc, but the panic kept rising and I really started to get short of breath.
Eventually the panic overcame me, I had to apologise profusely whilst nudging my way to the nearest seat, apologise again whilst placing a foot on the seat and hoisting myself up so I could get above the tops of peoples' heads, and then started breathing in heavily, all the while embarrassed and apologising to the people who were looking at me like I was insane. Even then the train didn't move for a further 10 mins, and I was looking at the windows crazily imagining if I could break one and just get out into the tunnel, dangers be damned.
Needless to say I got off the next stop even though it wasn't mine. Felt so embarrassed but luckily the people in the carriage were pretty cool about it.
But yeah, claustrophobia is fucked, I also refuse to take lifts unless it's over 20 floors - just the idea of being stuck in one makes me start to sweat.

Yeap, we were in Washington DC while my dad was on business and when he finally got off we decided to visit the Smithsonian. We finished there about 4pm or so and we were heading back to the hotel as he had another meeting.
He says "nobody gets off at 4pm, it'll be fine". I was staring out the window to avoid motion sickness when he whispers from the seat behind "don't look around". I didn't because I knew what was happening but the passing concrete helped put it out of mind. Our stop comes and its so packed people were having to get off to let us out.
I've also been stuck on the Toronto subway 3 times without power for 15 minutes. I was probably around 8 and wasn't having these kinds of issues but I remember that feeling of dread.
Now I'm working with a CBT therapist to get over these things as it's only getting worse.

As a paramedic instructor, this is one thing i incorporate into simulation training with my students, bystanders and family members causing a ruckus. One thing they have to learn is how to manage a scene, keep the bystanders and family away from harm, and to be abe to function while being heckled and yelled at. I actually have actors "film" them with their cellphones and talk loudly while the students are trying to "treat' the patient. It creates some great anxiety, but helps prep them for the nonsense they have to deal with in the street

Paramedic here - Happens all the time. Every single bystander is a neurosurgeon who got out of cardiology and transplant surgery because they got bored with it and knows exactly what we are supposed to be doing, regardless of the situation.

God bless you for the role-playing. It's the best teaching method in the world.
Actually, I think this is why they were yelling that "nobody is doing anything!" They needed an employee to calmly say, "Help is on the way immediately! It will be fine. There is plenty of air in there. They will be perfectly safe and will be out in just a few minutes. Now, as much as we'd like too, we can't force the door open, it may cause the elevator to malfunction." They needed the employees to not look as confused as they were.

I tell people that I need them to give me room to work. Usually saying something like "I know you're concerned about your loved one, but we need to get in there so we can do what we need to do" gets family/friends/bystanders to at least back off and let us do our job.

These are the always-a-victim type people, or professional victims. Any perceived slight, injustice, awkward glance or misunderstanding is a chance for outbursts and compensation.
No matter that the elevator has a phone in it, man baby has been so ingrained with playing the victim that he was probably pacing in the elevator yelling and generally freaking out the little kid.
I have no doubt that at some point all of those women were at the front desk or managers office or whatever threatening to sue the building, the security guard, the elevator company and the manager.

As someone who has worked in hotels for years, this is more common than you might think. I have seen grown ass adults break down and ball their eyes out threatening my life because the elevator stopped working before they could get on. The elevators just wouldn't open. I told them it would take some time to get it repaired, that if they could patiently wait I would give them a free drink and dinner. Instead of trying talking to me, they threatened to find out where I lived so they could murder me. Asked the restaurant supervisor for my personal phone number and address. When they got denied they called the police on the staff claiming we were holding hostages. Tl;dr work in hotels and you see people are just wearing a mask to hide that their batshit crazy

You actually should have written, "an SAT" because you pronounce the letters individually. "An Es, Ayee, Tee"... Even then, you're sentence doesn't make sense. I'm bringing in SAT scores, not aN SAT. 100 is a pretty bad score, by the way. And I brought the SAT into the conversation because it's the biggest standard indicator of reading comprehension that you might have taken.
Also, I wouldn't call this an argument. You didn't address my points, so it's more of a commentary.

Just glanced at your comment history X) I guess the sensitivity about SATs came from an actual low score. I would say I'm sorry and that scores don't indicate that much, but your logic, ignorance, reading comprehension, and word choice kind of do match that score :/ Maybe focus on studying instead of being a dick to everyone.

One of my best friends growing up had a mom who abused the welfare system. She was pretty much a bigoted republicans wet dream- no higher education, lived on welfare, a democrat, and brown.
I say all that as a democrat myself. I've seen democrats that I'm embarrassed to be associated with. This family, if American, could've easily been welfare abusers who got fat from eating McDonalds.
My point is stereotyping the other party just makes you look as stupid as them. Believe it or not, there are smart people who voted for Trump. There are people that supported Bernie because they really just wanted a free ride. Are those people the majority? Not likely. Does that make it okay to make sweeping generalizations? No.

Arguably them opening the door like that put them in more potential danger than just leaving it closed. Like there were WAY better chances of the elevator moving while they were getting out than the cable snapping or them just getting stuck forever.

Lmao i expected it to be numerous kids like 2-3 kids ages 3-10... which then begged the question "what idiot lets their kids on an elevator alone".... and then it became a human hatchimal fest.

It should send it to a designated floor and open the door and then stay open until it's either reset or fire department uses their key to operate.
SkaFreak ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:37:40 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Should, yes, but if it is already malfunctioning then it isn't going to do that, and will require a reset before there is hope of getting it functional again.

Hyperdrunk ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 01:45:25 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
They're designed to stop at the nearest floor where a fire alarm isn't currently active, open, and then become non-functioning. The problem is that this one was already non-functioning.
I can understand the trashy-people's theory here, if it were to follow normal protocol it would release the man-child and little girl. However it wasn't functioning properly, so instead they added a step in getting the people released.

This. If it is already malfunctioning, it isn't magically going to start working. Normally yes, they will all go to the lobby floor and stay with doors open until a firefighter key is used to take it to stage 2, or an operator resets it. If it is already malfunctioning, then it isn't going to start working for no reason, and someone will have to reset the system before there is any hope of getting it to function again.

When animals get stuck in fences or nets or elevators they tend to panic and can even injure themselves because they don't understand how technology works.

i was thinking "kids", as in 10 years old or younger. Was not expecting one of them, apparently the most upset, to a grown man with an apparent mental capacity less than a child. Does he not know how to pick up the emergency phone? Of course, he's from the same gene pool who think pulling the fire alarm will correct the problem with the elevator (& also think the camera in hand, after stating she is recording & posting, doesn't count as a camera to record their actions). This was attempted Darwinism at it's finest; sadly, it wasn't successful (hopefully, yet). i weep for the future & for that child (the actual one, not the man child).

Where I live firefighters only respond to a stuck elevator if the people trapped inside are in need of immediate medical attention. A technician doesn't really take much longer than the fire fighters anyway.
And in this case the kid was in there with an ADULT. So there was no need to occupy a firetruck with unnecessary shit while they got peoples lives to save.
Edit: triggering the fire alarm in a hotel would probably have brought more than one station on scene - even more unecessary.

Yup, in my department we only respond if there is some other circumstance that requires our attention, of if the person stuck is elderly (because that can turn into a medical emergency quick). For a teen and a kid? Nah. Though if they pulled the fire alarm we'd roll out, and stand by while the elevator tech gets them out.

I absolutely agree. Except... having no self-awareness can easily make you marginally successful. I've seen it a lot. These people do things normal people wouldn't, file complaints (and receive free stuff) normal people would be ashamed of, and bizarrely, seem more competent because of their utter bovine confidence. It's the same principle as a sociopath becoming a CEO. They reach for the stars, and sometimes the stars actually reach back.

As someone from Appalachia, there really is a lot to this. I commented earlier to someone who said, "Are these people real?" that there are probably more people in my hometown like this than not like this.
And that's a big part of the problem. They learn how to act from somebody just as lacking in social skills as they are. They'll do things like say they'll be at your house at 6 and call at 6:30 and say they just woke up and are getting into the shower, and have no idea why that's annoying. They'll answer their cell phone and have a conversation in the middle of a funeral when they are on the third row. They'll say they'll be a groomsmen in your wedding and just not show up or call. They very routinely just don't pay regular bills.
It's just like you say, a lack of awareness of how to be in the world. They aren't taught because their parents weren't taught.

I don't feel sorry for them one bit. Because of the lack of predators and the welfare state that we have created, these people will outbreed decent human beings by a ratio of at least 5:1. Give it a few generations and ol' mama bear there will have 100+ descendants and someone decent will have 5-10. It's society and my offspring (probably yours, too) who will have to support the welfare state for those morons to continue to eat who I feel sorry for.

Generally the more rural you travel, you'll notice a lack of...cultural diversity (so to speak), which is where you find a good chunk of the trashy and uneducated/ignorant/archaic-viewed people.

What does it matter what Trump says he's going to do? His words and his actions have very little to do with each other.
Trumps already tried to gut healthcare, put a climate change denier in charge of the EPA, a homeschooled woman in charge of the public educational system, and presented a budget outline that benefits the very wealthy and cuts funding for groups like Meals on Wheels, the National Wildlife Refuge fund, Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and a ton of other important programs.
His words do not tell us what he will do, his actions speak far louder. He has proven that he only cares about himself and his wealthy friends. OHS laws cost the wealthy and benefit the lower and middle class, it's only a matter of time before it's on the chopping block.

He said he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare with something much much better on DAY 1! He repeated that many times during his campaign. He FAILED! The AHCA (Trumpcare) that failed to get anywhere had nothing that Trump promised it would during his campaign. It's been a huge failure for the Republicans. They have the House, Senate, and White House, it should be super easy for them to get things done.
I know that the ACA (Obamacare) isn't perfect. It needs a lot of work or it needs to be replaced with something better. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. Trump and his administration need to come up with something better. So far they have come up with shit.

Birth control is a public need that effects both men and women. It not only controls birth, but can help manage other issues like acne, extreme period flows, and hormonal imbalances. It also helps women going through menopause.
Free, accessible birth control and education lowers poverty rates, abortion rates, crime rates, and a whole other slew of issues. There's absolutely no reason birth control shouldn't be covered.

This person is blaming health and occupational hazard laws (meant to protect all workers, not just dumb ones) as the main reason behind his claim that humanity is devolving as a whole. How can that not read off as sarcastic? Even so, if his claim were serious, human morality would be the main cause behind our reluctance to let natural selection take its course.

I look at it this way. Eugenics seems like a fine idea until you extrapolate it out any distance. Even perfectly. Assume we "get it right" by every imaginable measure then one day a freak virus occurs that attains 100% mortality because we all share 'perfection'. The alien species that discover our human free world might mourn our extinction. Might.

The correct answer is pay people not to have children, a lump sum to get "fixed." It's completely optional and can be reversed if you decide you want children at a later date, assuming you're financially responsible enough to pay back what you were given.
[deleted] ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 02:32:41 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How on Earth does that make sense?? This argument acts like there's a perfect correlation between financial ability and parental skills. A millionaire can be a unequivocal fuckup of a parent and still be able to pay that "lump sum" back a million times over. Conversely, the greatest mother in the world could've lost her job when the stock market crashed, and therefore be suddenly unable to have children.
Thinking anything along these lines is exactly what that panel is trying to dissuade.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:24:55 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well it'd be entirely optional to have the procedure and get paid. So if someone willfully decides to not have kids, gets paid, then decides they change their mind and can't afford it, tough shit.
A poor person is still able to have kids in that situation, they just need to not take the deal.

Based on what criteria? It's not like "smart" and "dumb" exist on a quantifiable slider. IQ is heavily dependent on education, so that doesn't work. What you're asking for is literally impossible to provide, it's just common sense.
rayfosse ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:07:05 on March 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There are a lot of people I've known and many famous people who are clearly quite intelligent (based on their ability to write/research/speak on complex subjects), but their parents never went to college. But every single time I dig deeper, it turns out that they had at least one smart parent who they speak highly of their intelligence regardless of educational attainment. I've never seen a situation of a notable professor or writer or scientist who had two parents who they acknowledge had totally mediocre minds. I understand that a lot of times that information isn't available, but I've read a lot of biographies and biographical pieces, and that particular story has never come up.
I was genuinely asking if anyone knows of an example of a highly intelligent person with two below average parents, regardless of education level. I understand that it's hard to quantify, but generally we still manage. If Newton or Einstein or Hawking or Proust or Austen or anyone notably intelligent had two reputably unintelligent parents, it would be duly noted by their biographers and would probably be an item of interest to the general public. Yet I've never once seen an instance of this sort, and everyone is saying that it is obviously quite common without giving a single example as evidence. I can provide thousands (really endless) examples of smart people with parents who were also smart (if not brilliant), so if the reverse also happens it shouldn't be hard to find, just as there are plenty of examples of dumb people with dumb kids and even smart people with dumb kids.
Nixon4Prez ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 07:26:25 on March 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There's two major problems. The first is that you're singling out people like Newton and Einstein, when the discussion is about normal "smart" people, not geniuses. The other problem is that there's really no such thing as "provably dumb", because raw intelligence is very, very difficult (basically impossible) to quantify. Like for example were Harry Truman's parents dumb or just uneducated? Stuff like that is basically impossible to figure out. You say that every notable person seems to have at least one parent they speak highly of, but that's definitely not universal. As for why you never see someone talking about how their parents had truly mediocre minds, that should be obvious. Most people just wouldn't bring it up or find it notable enough to mention. As for being noted down by biographers, it generally doesn't happen because "dumb" people tend to be just... mediocre, like you said. There's enormous amounts of famous minds who came from parents who didn't do much of note, but it's not like they were notably stupid or something. Just kinda slow.
Instead of looking for famous people, just look at everyday life. I know plenty of smart people with "dumb" parents. You probably do too.
rayfosse ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:57:26 on March 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
As I've said, I've never met someone in real life who I consider actually smart to have dumb parents. I'm not talking about their educational attainments, just my assessment of their raw intellect. You seem to think that's a difficult thing to measure, but I disagree.
I used highly intelligent people to make the point more vivid, but I think it is equally valid for slightly less smart people. Any time someone intelligent is asked where they get it from, they always say either their mom, their dad, or both. I knew a girl once who was quite smart but from a very dumb family, and she attributed it to her sperm-donor biological father, who like most sperm-donors was likely pretty intelligent.
You're talking in generalities, saying it wouldn't usually come up because it's not interesting to talk about stupid parents, but I really think if something was as common as you profess, it wouldn't be so difficult to find at least one example. This thread is about a family that after a two-minute video everyone can pretty easily see are all quite dumb. If someone highly intelligent came out of a family like that, it would be pretty interesting. If a lot of highly intelligent people came out of families like that, surely one of their stories would have come to light. Think of all the intelligent writers who would love to mine that sort of material for a memoir, and yet all the memoirs I read are about smart people dealing with parents who are cold, distant, depressed, abusive, weird, etc., but not dumb. People this dumb just don't have smart offspring, from what I can tell.

You are including BMR, or you are using a source that includes it in its calculations to come up with your hilarious figures. 1500 calories is equivalent to a half marathon RUN.

awww poor baby. i never once said that 1500 included BMR, or BMR for a full day. all i said was that the figure you were getting must include BMR for the 7 hours in question for it to be so high. embarrassing misunderstanding by you.
if you seriously think that 6 hours of walking, 4 hours of school, and an hour on a hill = 1500 calories you are still just as much of a retard as i told you you were earlier. 1500 calories is a half marathon. please use your brain. 1500 calories is burned in a half marathon. you are trying to say that 6 hours walking, 4 hours of school, and 1 hour of walking up a hill is equal to running 13.1 miles. lol? got it? see how dumb you are?
I also never said that an obese person only burns 200-300 calories per day. You are misinterpreting lots of what i said which is understandable since you are angry and emotional and i finally believe you are a woman. This is the second thing that you've said that I said that i never actually said. Why are you making things up?
Literally any google search for "how much do i burn at work" and "how many calories burned walking" will turn up misinformation because you aren't inherently subtracting BMR from the figures and you have no clue what basis those figures have.
You seriously think everyone going to work and then going to do an hour walk afterwards is doing the equivalent work of a HALF MARATHON? half marathon. get it through your head if you can even grasp what a mile is you fat fuck.
edit: i actually never even said the number 200-300. you pulled that completely from your ass :P what a shame, since it seems to be the basis for your entire argument hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

nope. that is not the source of my confusion. I'm aware of what HIIT is, and that it is best used when you want to burn calories but not sacrifice lean muscle mass. lol. i never ONCE even brought that up. you keep changing the subject, how like an ignorant woman.
i don't care about what an obese idiot's BMR is. I never cared, and seeing as how it is irrelevant, i will not look it up.
The issue in dispute is this, and try to stay focused girl: 6 hours working + 4 hours school + 1 hour walking hills = 1500 calories.
Wrong. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you don't work in a coal mine and you probably aren't walking around a track for 6 hours. You aren't burning as much as you say, you are just taking stock figures about how much you burn at work and parroting them with no thoughts added of your own. Dumb.
Your figures about walking vs running are fairly correct. Too bad that was never in dispute. What is in dispute is still the fact that you think the aforementioned activities = 1500 calories burned. They do not. You are not walking 3mph at work, and you are not walking the full 6 hours. And if you remember, you are saying the person is obese during this. Am i really supposed to believe an obese person has a job that requires them to walk the entire time? Ha. Ha. Ha.
"I'm the only one being angry and emotional here. Twat."
correct.
"You said an hour long walk would burn 300-400 calories for an obese person (it's closer to 400-500). This conversation took place days ago, so I remembered you saying 200-300 calories. I apologize for mis-remembering what you said"
apology rejected. idiocy cannot be apologized for, merely tolerated.
Go learn some stuff about calories, kid. You've got a ways to go.

"This is the entire basis of our argument, that an obese person who moves all day will burn 1,500 calories more than their bmr."
the basis of the argument was my disputing the 1500 calorie figure altogether, it had nothing to do with BMR except that i thought you were including it since the figure was too high :P
So...no. no need to discuss that.
An obese waitress that lies about working out after work? And you also lieda bout school for 4 hours as well i assume, since you stopped trying to insert that. Probably burns not anywhere near 1500 calories :P
Anything else you want to make up? Any other ways you want to misinterpret the basis of this argument? I'm open to crush you in every way, shape, or form since i am clearly your intellectual superior.
*slaps you across the face so hard you blast through the mountain to our left and leave a human-shaped hole. You go streaking at a tangent out of the atmosphere for hundreds miles until i fly ahead of you and 2-hand-clasped-together SLAM you back into the earth with the force of 3 or 4 suns.
right before you hit the ground i zip beneath you and hold up my fist. you land backfirst and crumple over my arm, the force of you impacting a solid object releasing an explosion the size of a 100 gigaton nuclear bomb.
As the smoke and dust clears, the mushroom cloud fades away, and the ground is revealed to be a sheet of trinitite glass, residue from the blast.

Happened in the brand new Royalton Hotel in St. Lucia, supposedly maintenance was on their way but these people insisted on being assholes.
They originally took down the video upon realization everyone thought they were over-reacting and this is a mirror of said video.
What's funny is this is essentially against the law, but the hotel managers decided not to press charges.

I cannot say exactly, I will try to find out as I know some people who work at the hotel, but my guess is similar to what /u/Stormflux said, publicity is bad.
There's shitty people in the world who actually think these people acted appropriately, and for the Royalton (a worldwide chain) to press charges on tourists/guests of the island would not be worth it.

It's a beautiful country to visit and worth the trip especially if you're looking for a honeymoon destination or similar as it is especially catering for that.
You can save some $ by visiting during the summer months when the flights are cheaper (tourist season is usually in the winter months to avoid the cold)!

We live in the SF Bay Area and sometimes go up around Redding, so many beautiful places around there, and I hate to stereotype things, but that place is legit scary. I actually felt a little uncomfortable being a Mexican there. My poor white husband freaked out at the scary looks we were getting from some racist/meth-heads. On top of that somehow our credit card info got stolen and charges were racked up within a few hours. What I'm trying to say is stay away from there!!!

My last girlfriend was from the bay area, and just before she became an adult her family up and decided to move to Redding (about 4-5 hours north of the bay area) so I asked her why everyone calls the bay area "North California" if there's so much north of it. She just replied "If you spent a day in Redding you would understand, anyone who's been through there wishes those people just didn't exist"

If the staff got eyes on where the alarm panel was saying there was a problem they can reset it and call back with a false alarm. Fire department will downgrade from full box response to a single apparatus to confirm the false alarm. Now with an activated pull station all you can do is silence the alarm since it will trip again if reset with the pull station not reset.

From what I saw on the video, I don't think they could figure out how to work the fire alarm. At one point you hear her say "how do you break it?" I think it was one of those ones that had a glass bar that they have to break to pull and they couldn't figure it out.

About 6 years ago me and 5 of my buddies got stuck in a two story elevator. The only reason it didn't work anymore is because we were all jumping at the same time, Synchronized as it hit the floor above. We fucked it up and we were stuck for about a hour and a half. It sucked because I'm claustrophobic but at the end of the day we deserved every minute of that elevator sweat shop. I really regret doing that and I guarantee you that douche that was raging as he came out was doing something stupid to get it stuck. His character totally matches elevator horseplay. He's a elevator anarchist for sure. I know I'm an idiot, I regret a lot of things I have done around the 19-24 age.

She stayed completely calm and i didn't even realize at the time that anything out of the ordinary had happened.
We sat down and played with my toy truck for however long it took the mechanic to get it moving again.
You might say she handled the situation a little bit better than that guy.

I just finished reading "Hillbilly Elegy" which somehow feels like it gives this some context. The fierce loyalty to family at the expense of all else, the not quite knowing how to handle situations in unfamiliar environments ... near-the-surface violence, etc.

I did not know this, and sort of does put the situation in a different perspective. But I still think they should've acted more civilized and calm, like did they never learn how to at some point in their life? I guess their knee jerk reaction towards protecting their family can seem neurotic with no larger context put into it.

The Royalton forgot to poke holes in the elevator so the white trash could breath? Are elevators just air tight metal coffins hanging by pieces of dental floss? I'm confused about what the immediate threat is.
T5916T ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 08:19:29 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Strangers can't be relied on to help you in a difficult situation so the assumption, given that no one appeared to be doing anything, was that the people inside would be left there to die so the family had to get them out themselves.
Also, being trapped in an elevator implies the elevator's broken. If the elevator's broken, what else might go wrong? It could plummet to the ground, potentially injuring or killing the occupants.
I don't know why people saying how "awful" this family is doesn't get that. Must stem from a lack of empathy. Which really proves the point - people don't give a shit about strangers.
Now, reading all these comments here, apparently getting stuck is a thing that happens, it does not mean the elevator is at risk of falling, and elevator companies are so motivated to keep people from freaking out about elevators that they send their own guys in promptly to the point that the fire department doesn't even get involved most of the time. But... how likely or reasonable is it that people in a seeming emergency would go on reddit and ask, "My kid is stuck in an elevator, should I be worried?"

Absolutely, the electrical locks that are made up and tell the computer that the doors are closed are at the top of door. Notice that that part never moves. Quite possibly could have taken off while he was exiting the car.

Here in Australia we call them Bogans.
Unfortunately they're everywhere.
The problem with Bogans is they like to breed. All the time. And their kids like to breed too. And so do their kids.
They also own lots of animals, and they let them wildly breed too.
Within the time span of an intelligent couple who decides when the right time is right to have kids, Bogans are already Great Grand Parents.
A license should be required for having children. Your given an IQ test and asked to perform basic hygiene and cooking tasks. You're then required to be employed until that child is an adult. If you lose your job, your given a maximum of 6 months benefits and then you're cut off and unable to claim benefits again for another 12 months, to stop employment scams.
Bogans are the leeches of society and must be desexed before Idiocracy comes true.

i was at a party in an apparment complex once and a buddy got stuckin in an elevator. the host called maintenance and they said they would be out in about 20 minutes with the elevator tech. the door would open slightly and we were able to talk and joke with our buddy. we then pulled the keg over and the party to the elevator and folded a red solo cup through the door. he was able to fill the cup in the elevator and we all just hung out there drinking and chatting until the tech arrived we then gave the tech a beer when we got him out and said thanks.

Finally! A story I can tell! This will probably get buried BUT I got stuck in a university elevator with 21 other students at my school in Canada circa 2011. After piling in way too many of us, students starting jumping up and down in the moving elevator and a small click then a jerk, and BOOM we stopped moving. We were in there shoulder to shoulder for over two hours before they could get us out. 2 fire trucks 3 ambulances and a massive crowd out at 2am waiting for us. We were pulled out by emergency workers to the 5th and 6th floors as we were stuck right smack in the middle of both. A few people passed out, threw up. I myself am extremely claustrophobic and am grateful that I somehow was too drunk to notice how bad it really was. Looking back it was fucking insane :/ lol
EDIT: we even made the local news, and yes I have pictures inside the elevator.

Growing up around people like this I can attest their lives are conceptually very narrow and their days revolve around emotional spikes mostly inspired by fear.
They perceive limited avenues of personal power and everything that happens to them is a slight perpetrated by an unfair outsider that is always conspiring against them.

Had they some education they wouldn't have been overreacting. This kind of reaction is a panic of not knowing the consequences of the situation (which there weren't really any). These are simply uneducated low information people, who are littered across the world, when put in situations they don't understand legitimately freak out. This is your average Trump voter I kid you not. I grew up around these kinds of people.

Fair critique, It's poor to generalize people and I agree to that. I grew up in the south around people like this that flip their shit and get redneck similarly to this, vote Republican because of guns and god, and at times prioritize guns and god against things like critical thinking or a focus on education, though that is not everyone. My comment is to suggest mainly they aren't fully at fault for this behavior, if an elevator locks up and you do not understand at an elementary level how elevators operate and are expected to have safety features, you freak the fuck out.

I got trapped in an elevator once. It was great.
My friends and I were on our way to a party when one of us decided to jump up and down as we moved causing the emergency brakes to engaged. After notifying the operator that we were stuck, we drank the case of beer we had with us and would scream in horror when were heard someone in the nearby hallway. Firefighters opened the door in about an hour. Good times.

I'm a lift installer. That's my trade. For anyone's information for future reference if the lift stops the last thing you want to do is try and open the door. Often a lift stops because there is an electrical bridge in the doors that has been broken and cut the power stopping the lift. Usually trying to push the doors closed rather than open is what will start the lift working again because it re connects the bridge allowing the electrical current through powering the lift properly.

I had a different reaction to this. I'm trying to imagine what their world must be like. A world where there isn't ever enough to go around, and life is a frantic desperate battle. Fighting to be heard. Fighting for space. Fighting for money. Fighting just to get enough. Against the world and against each other. You can't afford to be nice or reasonable, because if you relax one iota then you'll be crushed immediately by all the people around you who are also fighting. The hotel staff is confused, but for these people, this is just what normal life is like back home. That's just what a culture of poverty does to people. Don't get me wrong, I would fucking hate to deal with their entitled insanity, but there's also something tragic about it.
That's what I'm thinking, anyway.

Fire alarms work on a percent basis.
If there are 10 alarms, pulling only one tells the authorities that the building is only 10% alarmed. The more you pull, the more alarming the situation is flagged as to emergency services.
This is why they always refer to things as an "x alarm fire".

That is at least partially false.
"The most widely used formula for multi-alarm designation is based on the number of units (firetrucks for example) and firefighters responding to a fire; the more vehicles and firefighters responding, the higher the alarm designation."

This is really fucking bullshit. These assholes would have been put in restraints, evicted, charged and cited, as well as possibly going to jail the chick pulling the alarms most definitely. First of all OTIS has to come out plain and simple. They have master keys. Unless the company has engineers that are trained to work on elevators than there will be a wait time. Second most elevators don't just shut down (now shit happens and elevators do but it's rare). Most likely the grown child in the elevator or possibly the kid might have triggered the earthquake sensors. On top of all this they were not in there long. The guy isn't sweating at most 10 min tops. And if those doors are broken in any way the whole thing gets replaced and well that's at least 5 grand not including the labor. There is a process. Going ape shit because you want to find the smallest issue to sue isn't going to solve shit. Edit: I work for security in a casino. This happens quite often.

If you're wondering who the type is to tip over cars, set local shops on fire, or wreck their own neighborhoods to engage in chaos, it's these folks for sure.
Can't do anything but infer from anecdotal experience, but I'd be willing to bet these "trashy" people are poor and uneducated, which is a motherfucker. It's 100% roll of the dice as far as the human experience is concerned. We all know that people are social creatures who build their identity largely based off their peers, surroundings and life occurrences. So in poor neighborhoods, where presumably these trashy people call home, you typically a huge prevalence of bullying, violence, sexual abuse, anger, depression - you get it. Negative shit.
And as a community and as individuals they carry all of it. In the back of their minds and through the tension of their bodies. But even trashy folks like this know they can't go full ape and start throwing their shit at each other in the streets. So they wait with anticipation for any green lit justification to explode their strife outward to the world that has fucked them over.
Poverty is a bitch. It's gotta be. And for the most part fuck these people. But on some level you have to empathize with every ICP fan, misled gangbanger and white trash moron stuck in an elevator. They live in hell and it could've easily been you.

The family filmed this themselves?! And [presumably] put it on the internet?!!!! I cannot fathom how they thought this video would be evidence of anything other than their own vandalism.
The irony is that if they just played it cool and waited for maintenance to open the elevator, they probably would have walked away with some nice compensation from the hotel. Instead they get stuck paying a hefty bill elevator repairs.

Wow, the video was so much worse than I thought it would be, even after reading some of the comments. That was fucking infuriating and I wish harm on the people who screamed and threatened people.
Serious props to those employees. I 100% would not have been able to maintain that level of composure.

"He's just standing there". As a maintenance worker in a hotel, we're not aloud to attempt to fix or open the elevator. We have to wait for certified engineers to show up and fix it, even with people inside.

I once got stuck in an elevator when I was a small child - about 5 or so. All I had to do was push the open doors button, which was located at the top of the elevator buttons.
In a panic I told my dad to call the care bears, they would know how to help. He said he didn't know how to contact them but I told him they were in the clouds. WTF dad. That exactly the kinda situation you call the Care Bears for. He just didn't want me to meet them. STILL MAD!!

So its easier to 'pull every fire alarm possible' despite the fact they all trigger the same alarm and disturb every guest and employee in the hotel, forcing an evacuation, and fire department to come rather than I don't know pull out your phone and call the front desk

"Is there a camera?" Yeah bitch! You're holding it lol
On another note: I have previously an odd habit of jumping up and down while in an elevator. Perhaps I was curious to see if it would break and I would plummet to my death, and partially to annoy other passengers in elevator (sick joke. I know). In any event, the last time I did this, it caused the elevator to stop between two floors. Immediately an alarm went off and an emergency representative was on the elevator's intercom informing us that help was on the way. I ended up being stuck for 15 minutes (which seemed like an eternity) in the elevator with my younger cousins laughing about our dilemma. The next day there was a printed sign in elevator disclaiming "No Jumping In Elevator" and a new camera. Still funny. 1/10 would do again.

my daughter got stuck in a glass elevator once when she was in grad 5 or 6. she attended a birthday party at a science centre with about 6 other kids. The girl who"s birthday it was decided to eat pizza even though she was lactose intolerant. Well needless to say it wasnt very comfortable to be in a glass elevator with some of her classmates for over an hour. Eventually the poor girl couldnt take it any longer and had to take a shit in the elevator. To this day my daughter hates elevators lol

I don't understand why they're acting like it's the workers fault that the elevator broke. They didn't sabotage it nor are they going to get involved due to the fact that they're not trained to do something like that and potentially cause more harm.

I used to work at a hotel and, unfortunately, this happened more often than not.
To anyone that EVER takes an elevator, it can break.....please understand this. Car's break down, electronics break down, tools break down and elevators are no exception.
Do we want to get people out ASAP? Duh. Can we? No. That's stupid. You realize that you could do something to make the people in there possibly fall to their death (not really, but you never know)? You know why you don't know? Because you're not a FUCKING elevator maintenance worker. Those people go into apprenticeships which take time to learn all that they know. They also are not available at the drop of a hat. You know how many elevators are around your local area within 50 miles? Of course you fucking don't, but they do and they are probably working on one.
So if you plan to be like these people, take the fucking stairs.

I better not, it looks like he uses his own name for his handle. I wouldn't want to break TOS.
But I'd be interested to know if the elevator incident happened at the beginning or end of their stay. If it was the end, it would explain why they were so nasty. If at the beginning, then whatever bad happened to them was probably brought on by their behaviour. The hotel seems to get a range of ratings from terrible to excellent so far.

I had some friends who got stuck in a lift at college. Fortunately (or unfortunately) they had just been to buy alcohol for a party that night. They were stuck in there for 2 hours, and got absolutely hammered. In fact, when the technician came to let them out - they abused him for ruining their fun.

I heard and employee say "we need to wait for matienence" and my mother, the savage bitch ( I love her) asked if I was safe and then employee said yes. My mother went to gamble as I waited 45 minutes to get out. Her reasoning is she knew where I was and that I was safe and told the employee were and how to reach her when they get me out.

When I was a kid, we were on holiday in Spain. My little brother and I (probably around 7 and 11) would play this game where we'd wait for the elevator and the first person to touch the back wall was the winner.
One day when going down for dinner in our hotel, my mum, brother and myself are all waiting for a lift, about to play our little game. The lift dings, doors open, no lift. Just lift shaft. I realise and stop sprinting towards the elevator doors, my brother however doesn't notice so quickly and I have NEVER seen my mum move so fast. She grabbed his collar and basically choke slammed him with his t-shirt.
The lift was probably 5 or more floors down. Scary shit man.

I'm sure this will fade to nothing at the bottom of this thread and go completely ignored, but I'm going to comment anyway and say this.
Yes the people in this video are acting like asshats and are overreacting in a massive way however; I personally suffer from major panic attacks and being stuck in a tight confined space sets off those attacks. When you are having a major uncontrollable panic attack it is very hard to control how you are acting.
As an example I was once stuck in a room with a broken door, and before I even knew what I was doing I had busted the door down and pushed it off it's hinges to get out. I didn't even realize what I was doing until it was over.
So while yes this family was overreacting and the guy at the end shouldn't have made those threats; you don't know if he or the child he was with suffer from something like that. I personally am terrified of elevators and avoid them as much as possible because of this very reason.

At the end, if I own that hotel I would bring them up on charges for damaging the elevator, have them ban from all the hotels within the parent company (so they can't use almost any hotel worth while), and sent them a bill for damages. Maybe even have the federal look into them trying to break the fire alarm even with everything under control.

So let me get this straight: if they had pulled the fire alarm, everybody in the hotel (the crazy family AND any elevator technician in the building) would have to wait outside until fire fighters arrived on scene and inspected the building. The people stuck in the elevator would wait a while I'm guessing.

Pediatrician here
Ive seen crappy parents act like this when their kid has a common cold. It's always the poorly educated, loud, low income parents that will break in through the ER doors because their kid has something minor.
I'll try to find the exact terms but it's like they go from crappy parenting/not paying attention to a full meltdown.
EDIT:
Dysregulated stress response is the closest term I can think. Basically due to chronic poverty related stress they are unable to regulate their stress response so even small problems can blow up.

Guys with mohawks being aggressive, women in flip flops running up and down stairs and using no common sense. Finally the douchebag emerging from the elevator after crying like a baby "Get me outta here" and then stepping up to fight the kindly african american gentleman just standing nearby. Bonus for the child crying hysterically after being completely traumatized by his idiot family. As for where the family is from, I'd say easily Jersey or Staten Island.

Back at one of my college dorms there was a guy stuck in the elevator. Some dumbass who thought he was cool put a knife in between the doors to try to open it. You see these holes?. That's a keyhole that will easily open the door. So as soon as firefighters arrived they simple put the key in and opened the door without breaking a sweat.

as a firefighter, this is a relatively simple "rescue"... locate the elevator room (contains the power unit for the elevators) we have a key to access all elevator panels in our city. Shut down the power to the elevator door so we can manually open the door... most of the time the people are out in less than thirty minutes from when they called 911. Pulling the fire alarm would just delay your rescue because we would come prepared with equipment for a potential fire. Not an elevator rescue...

I was once stuck on an elevator for an hour as a kid. I was around 7 and coming back up from the pool by myself.

I've been stuck in an elevator before in my apartment complex. I had my phone and called the non-emergency police line. They sent a firetruck a few minutes later. The fire department had the elevator key, opened the door, and had me jump down to the second floor (it was stuck between the second and third floors). Honestly, it was a pretty peaceful ordeal. I thanked the firefighters and walked up the stairs to my apartment. I don't really understand the panic and anger here.

Son of an elevator repair person. Forcing open the elevator has probably gotten way more people killed than being stuck on one. Them freaking out put them in more danger than just waiting. If someone needed immediate emergency/medical services, they would have to weigh the consequences of the possible danger of prying it open (such as an exposed elevator shaft) over waiting, but barring that, they should've waited.

I'm trying to write something meaningful for 5 minutes now, but I can't think of a single thing to say about these sort of people or their behaviour. It's like their brain is offline and on auto-pilot, like a pack of monkeys in the zoo screaming at eachother so that everyone gets only more panicky.
Maybe it's just a vicious circle of a lack of guiding and upbringing their kids with manners, repeating generation after generation. They're still people with feelings, sure, but it's darned hard to give a heck about people who stoop this low.

Those people are extremely lucky. That could have turned out a lot more tragic than it was. By forcing the doors when the cab isn't level and the top of the door lock still made the cab could still run. The chances of a newer installation running with the doors open is extremely rare put its a risk that should never be gambled with. That is no way to die. Never exit an elevator between floors ever. Wait for the maintenance guy or the fire department.

They're all breathless from one flight of stairs but still can find the energy to shout abuse at the hotel employees. And yet too stupid to break glass or call the front desk. Or do what normal people do and wait for help. I will refrain from making comments about their weight but it's very obvious that these people deny themselves nothing.

So one of the people in the elevator was at least an older teen and instead of calmly waiting for maintenance or the fire department to arrive they begin to destroy property, pull all the fire alarms (Because that will help?) and then, blame the staff for not being able to do anything?

It is more dangerous crawling out of a stuck elevator. All it needed to do was shift down and he or the poor kid would have died.
On the flip side, the hotel staff needs to do more than stand there with belligerent people. Reassuring the people stuck inside that someone is coming right away, not to panic, stay calm, etc. They might have been before the camera turned on.

Jesus Christ! Where do I even start, they act as though it's a life threatening situation, being stuck in an elevator happens, patiently wait for firemen or repair men to solve the situation. And why were they mad at that guy, like he's supposed to herocly jump in and pry the doors off. Also I thought they were panicking because it was they're toddler or something, but a fully grown man climbs out throwing a fit, lol

When I was a in college, a bunch of kids thought it would be funny to see how many people they could cram in an elevator. They packed it so tight no one could even move their arms. Then the elevator got stuck. By the time they got out an hour later, everyone and everything was dripping with sweat including the walls.
Those of us that were free didn't care about them enough to pull a fire alarm.

Elevators have so many failsafes and redundant safeties that it's near impossible to be hurt except in events of catastrophic failure. The fact that they act so self-righteous even though they are doing more harm than good is the worst though.

But for the love of fuck, this level of focused hatred for that family is honestly terrifying. I don't know how many of you are parents (what the hell am I saying, you're all children), but if I heard my kids crying on the other side of an elevator door, I'd probably be looking for a fucking crowbar, too.

This is just me but as someone with chlostrophobia, I would freak out. Everytime I'm in an elevator I'm ok for the first fifeteen seconds and then I inevitably start thinking about it getting stuck and I'm sweating and breathing a little faster than normal if it lasts much longer than that. Not saying at all that I think what these people did was right, being total assholes to hotel staff for this kind of thing and destroying property is trashy as fuck. But, there is a part of me that knows if I were in that situation I would hope someone would open the door AS FAST AS FUCKING POSSIBLE!
Luckily I live in earthquake country so buildings are rarely built that high and if it's under 10 floors I take the stairs.

Depends. Some elevators are roomy and designed to make you feel less claustrophobic. The new designs also allow for fresh air flow at lower than room temp. which makes you feel like you have an abundance of air. In new buildings elevators are better.
In old buildings??? Oh boy. Some are like coffins. Add the fact that they get hot af when they are not moving and they will test even the coolest cat. It's the feeling of no air that freaks out most people.

Why were your kids on the elevator by themselves? Could it be that they were "playing" on the elevator? Maybe seeing what would happen when you push all the buttons? I also can't stand that they're yelling at the guy that works for the hotel, like he knows how to fix broken elevators? What they did was probably the most unsafe thing you could do, what if they started to get the kids out and the elevator started to go up or down? They should have remained calm so they're not freaking the kids out and wait for fire department (since we know they're on their way bc you've pulled every fire alarm) to come since they know how to safely handle these types of situations! I live in KY and see this type of family almost everyday.

I honestly had to rewatch the video bc I didn't catch it the first time. I though a guy jumped in to grab the kids Nd back out. I read the article that was linked and it was an eighteen year old and another 6 year old. This makes me even more frustrated bc I thought there were actually kids to be worried about, now I find out that there was a young adult in the elevator that should have been able to keep the child relaxed. Instead the 18 year old jumps out and starts trying to fight the guy that worked for the hotel. What idiots!

People are irrational when they're afraid. Being trapped in a lift takes your from 0 to crazy real quick.
In my building there was a tiny little singaporean woman. She was so timid and polite, I barely heard her speak in the 5 years I was there. Well one day our lift got stuck on the top floor, with her in it. She was like a little tornado in there. Cracked wall panels, massive dents in the metal doors, every floor heard her screams. They got her out quickly, but she never took that lift again. Nor did I for that matter.
They acted poorly here, but never underestimate what terror will do to people.

Yup, that guy. He lived in my apartment building between jail stints. We got stuck in the elevator one night for a brief time (maybe 3 minutes - not more than 5.) Given that the elevator had cameras and the doorman was on the intercom with us, I wasn't particularly concerned -- I was only bothered by the fact that now he would know what floor I lived on. Oh, and that he might kill me ... from his lethal combo of BO and cigarettes.

I worked security at an apartment building. There's nothing that we're allowed to do. Best case scenario if a security officer attempts to pry open the door, they lose their jobs. Then there are all of the other possibilities which could end in the entrapped people losing their limbs or lives. The only option you have is calling the elevator company and/or the fire department.

Reminds me of last year at the local skatepark. Two young scooter kids (one of which I knew well, he was actually a really great scooter rider) got in to it with another kid. The kid I knew, let's call him Billy, was the type of kid that will accept a fight with anyone, despite only being 4 feet tall and like 60 pounds. Anyways, some stupid kid got pissed with Billy over a game of horse, challenged Billy to a fight, Billy accepted and right away clocked the kid so hard he fell and his nose and teeth were bleeding. This kid in particular was a real bully to other young kids so he definitely deserved it. Anyways, Billy left to go get some food down the road and the kids parents showed up, along with his sisters and brothers. The father, an unemployed white guy that thinks he's ghetto, showed up saying he'd beat Billy's ass. The nutcases freaked the fuck out, asked me if I knew where Billy went and who he was (I told them I'd never met him) and they called the cops. Cops found Billy at the store, the family went down and needless to say the cops found the family's attitude quite ridiculous, especially considering this kid has been in shit before for beating the shit out of other small kids. This family is so much like the one in the video, it's unbelievable. That kid, nor his family, ever showed up to the park again since

If my 6 year old was stuck in an elevator I'd be freaking out, too, but I'd do it internally and try to keep her calm. Kid probably freaked out because her family was freaking out. Kids take queues from their surroundings on how they should act/react to things.
I'm guessing the guy came out of the elevator belligerent because had has some sort of phobia of closed in spaces. Not defending him but I'd probably start hyperventilating knowing I was stuck in an elevator. I'm not a violent person though so I probably wouldn't be threatening people.

You're right, I don't have kids, but as someone who's worked as a fire fighter, a paramedic and currently a nurse with pediatric knowledge I know when not to lose your cool in a situation like this. Elevators are designed to stop moving in events like this to prevent harm to the passengers. The employees in the video were trying to explain this, but the adults refused to listen and their behaviors obviously made the situation worse for their children.
What's going to happen? Are they going to be stuck in their for eternity? No, they have the inconvienence of being trapped by design for their own safety.
I've rescued children from car accidents 100x more serious than being trapped in an elevator and the parents didn't act like these people, so don't put their behaviors down as "it's about having kids," that's a broad blank statement putting everyone without kid's into a category that doesn't matter.

I work in a big office building (6 floors) and the main 3-4 elevators (of 10+) get stuck a lot. Twice at least in the last 6 months.
Firemen show up, chill as hell, telling us to just use the elevator right next to the stuck one.

As a maintenance manager at a hotel I can tell you that we cannot force open, or do any kind of mechanical work on an elevator. Elevator maintenance technicians are the only ones allowed to do emergency repairs. I can turn main power off the the breaker, and use the door service keys to change different modes but nothing else. Those elevators should have dropped down into the main lobby, if they dont then there could be major issues, and prying open the doors and slipping threw is a perfect way to get squished in half. But... dumb people do dumb things, what you gonna do?

I feel dumber after watching that video.. Best case scenario, they all bite it on their way back to the trailer park, O'Doyle style.. Other than that, I sincerely hope the hotel lawyers get in touch with this family. There's no cause to act like that.. And guaranteed, they don't have the money to fight corporate lawyers.. Property damage, verbal abuse, putting at least that elevator out of service for a while, probably crapped on the bed and stole the towels too.. That family isn't low class, they're no class..

I'm gonna say they might have been drunk on vacation. Still super trashy, especially how they acted to the staff and the property, and the obvious over reaction...but maybe they were drunk vacationing which could be the reason of the manic reactions. Still douchebags, but a good amount of us have probably been drunken douchebags at some point. And yeah, the what they did was not only reckless, but could potentially harm them horribly...but that goes along with the drunken vacation thing. Obviously that's an assumption and I don't know the story, but it seems that way to me. Either that, or their normal is what I think of a very drunk family in this situation lol

Someone in the group's review of the resort on TripAdvisor: Terrible. It is hard to pick a starting point. We were trapped in the elevator for fifteen minutes. Pitch black. We reported this to the staff, after we were able to get one of the buttons to eventually open the door. Very scary, hot and nauseating. We later watched workers attempting to fix the elevator. They failed. Numerous times we had to walk up/down five flights of stairs. Staff on occasion accompanied us as the backup staff elevator was behind a locked door that nobody could get open. Video of this is trending on YouTube. Our room was nice looking. TV did not work. Blow dryer did not work. Ceiling fan did not work. Air conditioning did not work. We asked for help from the front desk. They told us all was fixed. TV still did not work right and AC was blowing hot air. I went and asked them for help again and was denied. I had to get loud and they eventually said they would give us a room upgrade. It helped that another guest slid us some coupons. It was identical to the previous room but the AC was working. Upon arriving at resort we were told to be at the tour desk the next morning to meet with Malika. We did. She was nowhere to be found. One of her colleagues said she had stepped out and would not be back for a while. Later that evening we returned to our room and found a note on the floor from Malika. She wanted to know why we did not show up and was aggressive in saying she wanted us to show up the next morning between 8-4. This infuriated me. I went the next morning and yep โฆ she did not show up for work at all. I then met with her supervisor and showed her the letter. She stated she would be reprimanded for her actions and that Nexus tours did not condone her actions. She went further to explain that Malika had violated policy and protocol. What is new is old again โ If you decide to patronize Royalton St. Lucia you will find that although it is new and still under construction things are already broken and destroyed everywhere IE: Sidewalks are brand new yet cracked and crumbling, stamped concrete had been walked on while wet leaving boot marks everywhere, grease and dirt has already stained walks terribly, coral tiles in front of restaurants have potholes in them, pool tiles are missing in every pool, glass on balcony was cracked in three different locations. Etc. Construction never ever stoppedโฆ leaf blowers, lawnmowers, weedwackers, jackhammers, backhoes, dump trucks, delivery trucks, concrete saws, massive hammering, generators, LOUD LOUD LOUD ALWAYS etc. etc. Take a good look at the furniture โฆ think cheap generic Kmart or Home Depot. The resort is very far from finished. We were told by staff that the resort was running on a monstrous loud generator constantly because they used all black wire and the governing authority denied them certification until they rectified the problem. We did not sleep easy for sure. We hired a taxi with the help of Maury and agreed on a price with a guy named Eugene. The next morning we got ready and went to the lobby only to be told by an older taxi driver that the price we had already negotiated was going to be substantially more. This was a total classic bait and switch SCAM! If you use Holiday Taxi Service you do so at your own peril. They are crooks! The next topic also infuriated me! We have been around the world. This is the first resort we have ever been to where they allow time share sharks to operate within the confines of the resort. They veil this by not calling it a time share but a โvacation clubโ. We were harassed relentlessly by five different time share โsharksโ that refused to take no for an answer. One of them even became aggressive by claiming they came to us first in an attempt to intimidate us into making sure we used only her. As in previous reviews food took over two hours to arrive in the Hunter restaurant. They kept lying saying it would be out shortly. At one point saying she saw it on the plates. I walked back to the window to see that she had lied again. There was nothing prepared at all. A tall staff manager in score bar treated his staff extremely terrible. He berated them and embarrassed them in front of us continually. It was reprehensible. We spoke to the staff after he walked into the kitchen and they told us he treats them like that in front of the customers all the time. We told them to talk to his superior and they were reluctant to do so. I have 81 reviews on TripAdvisor over a long and established period of time. I am very fair and have given out my fair share of great reviews. To Mr. Andre Dhanpaul We paid a very large sum of money (resort airfare travel) for a vacation. We did not receive one. Truth is, what we experienced was the opposite of a vacation and EVERYTHING above can surely be verified. This was our annual trip and we are devastated and saddened. The resort was not ready and we were guinea pigs. Ironically, we were told the day we left that later that afternoon was the official grand opening. Royalton was not even officially open. I do see that you respond to reviews and that is to be commended. If you decide to respond to this one please make it void of fluff and rhetoric. We are hurt and disappointed enough already.

What these people don't realize is if an elevator is malfunctioned like that, the worst thing to do is try to get off. The elevator can swiftly change floors and it WILL kill you if you get caught in between. It's also not the guys fault in red. He was probably waiting on maintenance, like they should have been.

At school there was a small elevator in our science block that only the teachers could use. One day while running up and down the stairs some people hit all the buttons several times while a teacher was in the lift. The lift got incredibly confused, went into overdrive and started going up and down continuously without ever stopping and opening the door. He was stuck in there for almost two hours. They never found who did it.

I was willing to give them some sort of break I guess. I mean, maybe they had shitty customer service, maybe they're genuinely thinking that these people aren't doing their jobs. maybe they think being stuck in an elevator is dangerous.. all these things can lead to overreactions that a person might later regret.
but then, as I watched this video I started thinking.. I'm no expert on elevators, and I'm sure they aren't either, but i'd be a little concerned about breaking the elevator because I don't know what might happen.
but the end is what kind of pissed me off, not the guy threatening to kill someone, but the little girl crying like that. that poor kid probably didn't care that much until everyone started freaking out like that, that's when it became a traumatic experience. she probably thought she was going to die. that was really shitty of them to do to her,

They way they acted is a normal way their family dynamic has tolerated and made acceptable collectively and individually. Overly exaggerating the need for help and taking action before anyone can reasonably come is a broken way of dealing with the bad things that affect them. Victimizing themselves over and over again in every aspect of their lives becomes a problem not with short comings, but with an exposing habit of coping with responsibility. Manipulation is needed, and although quite obviously negative to the family member subjected by a more controlling member, may not be understood as toxic. That can be because these are the ways that the family has normalized these ways of interaction, or they justify their actions by their roles and expected entitlement, or simply get validation through the results from those actions. That boy in the elevator will forever learn that being a victim gives him a sense of validation. I'm more than sure that the recognition and poor emotional support received by the older boy, who emerged from the broken doors, has produce an adult who is emotionally dysfunctional. He calls the people who are his loving family members weak pussy's for not being able to open the elevator door. One, he is denouncing the help being given because, victimization is validation. The idea that they are not adequate to help ensures a liability for a a terrible outcome. "It was their fault we could not get out on time" he may be thinking. Never did he even consider being thankful of the extreme efforts the ENTIRE FAMILY made that is the result of his release. He does not once even mention the contrast of his situation from being out or in the elevator. He immediately harasses and blames the hotel employee for the situation in its entirety. Dysfunctional and unaware, this family needs physiological help. The fucking video is viral because they are slaves to their existence of being victims. I wish I knew how our who to go for professional help of this level severity, mostly due to its magnitude in dynamic relations. Sorry if typos, I should be up the early/late... ehh.
EDIT: I meant to elaborate a bit further in the explaining constant need for victimization and blaming maintained by the trapped adult. Every breathe made even in salvation, was verbally hostile and reflects typical mechanisms that intend to manifest guilt and sense of obligation to be the priority in situation. I don't recall if he went out first or if he let the younger brother out first. This video is irritable because of the depth of understanding I assume to have of their reality and my personal knowledge of identical families I have gotten to share space and time with.

As someone that worked 6 months for a subcontractor of Schindler, installing lifts as a mechanic etc, all i can say is i still every single day jump in and out of the door as quickly as possible....
every week we sat down and had a meeting about how a worker from some company around the world had died, either falling in a shaft, getting squashed, getting split in half.
funny thing is the only reason i left is because you work with deadbeat labourers who kick things down the shaft for fun forgetting people actually work down the bottom.

Holy shit man, I'm a maintenance guy at a large hotel and seeing shit like this is my worst nightmare. Not the fact that there's an idiot stuck in the elevator because I've dealt with situations where doors won't open and we have emergency keys for that even if the issue is rare. But having to deal with a fire alarm at the same time as this would suck, fire alarms in hotel environments are the worst and can be incredibly stressful because everyone does the complete opposite of staying calm. The fact that these people are just willing to set the whole fire alarm off and damage everything else in the process just irks me.

That 'man' stuck in the elevator might not have reacted like that if his family calmly resolved this.

I kind of wish the elevator dropped halfway while he was on his way out so it would snap him in half and they would finally learn their lesson and maybe raise the other child less stupid. Am I crazy for saying that? Oh well, natural selection will probably sort these people out eventually.

Ok when trapped in an elevator or in a confined space the best solution is rarely to freak out and irrationally run around yelling at the staff of the Royalton who look, much like everyone watching the video, like they don't know why these people are running around filming themselves attempting to pull fire alarms despite the fact that there isn't a fire, and despite the fact that the elevator is more then likely not hanging by a thread. All of this is made funnier by the fact then once the doors on the, presumably dangerously poised elevator are, not delicately, but forcefully and violently opened a fully grown man who looks like he cheated his barber out of some money angrily emerges and threatens to kill an employee of the hotel. The situation could have been handled a little better by both the group of panicking people running around the hotel, and by the jersey shore cosplayer who couldn't handle being in an elevator for a little while.

That's a billable call if I've ever seen one (vandalism). Considering the cost per hour it takes to send a mechanic out, plus parts, shipping, etc., I hope the hotel was able to get their money back somehow.
I do work for an elevator company. Not a mechanic, but used to be a part of the billing department. Anything that is vandalism is billable. And billable is $300+ just for a straight time call. Depending on how much damage was done, time spent, or repeated visits made, that could easily have been a couple grand minimum.

3) They are NOT white (at least the males). The names published were Arab and guys who know the family say they are Lebanese so knock off the white comments. And we know you guys are too pussy to use anything else.
4) The two were in there for 10 minutes and staff was not reacting. Shit hit the fan when the girl said she "couldn't breath" and family went ape shit

As much as the family is overreacting and complete thrash but why is the staff just staying there doing nothing ir saying anything? Every hotel should have an elevator key at the reception that easily opens the doors on any floor within 5 seconds in case of emergency. The keylock is usually above the doors. And I guess either the girl or guy in the red uniform already came from the reception? And if the only key is in the maintenance worker/s and he/she can't come to open the doors in 10 minutes it seems pretty unserious from the hotel staff. Not that it's known how much time already passed and the family seems not any patient type but there's already 2 person from the staff and probably some minutes already passed before these guys gone in full moron mode (implying they even have any other mode).

How is acting calm in a non emergency situation the wrong thing to do?
PredOborG ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:35:04 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, to be fair it's almost impossible to do the right thing with such people like this family but standing still doing nothing just enrages them more. I had such situations and the best thing to do is to tell them to calm down and wait for the person who will open the doors. And if they try to force open the doors the whole cabin can fall down or something similar. I know it's hard to reason with some people but being passive with them and completely ignoring their problem just adds more fuel to the fire. Also they really overreacted but what if the small girl stuck inside has claustophobia? I had a girlfriend who had claustophobia and even 2 minutes in a moving elevator would make her breath harder.
pinacumbubble ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:41:49 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The staff woman did try to tell them to calm down and THAT added fuel to the fire and the woman recording yelled at her. If the girl has claustrophobia the adults freaking out is just going to scare her more. Especially that young man in there with her screaming.

Yes, it shouldn't be a common staff's job to open the elevator doors but as I said it's not much harder than opening any lock with a key and they had to be instructed how to do it in case of fire or some other emergency. Maybe this wasn't such a big deal but you never know if the person stuck in the elevator isn't claustrophobic or something else.
And to add I was working as a hotel bellboy in 4 different hotels when I was 16 to 24 and always loved it when people called me their hero for saving them from a stuck elevator. :)

You'd think Trump and his supporters would have thicker skin over a harmless joke considering he ran an entire campaign on bullying and name calling his Republican opponents in the primary and still lashes out and bullies anyone that calls any of his decisions or positions into question.

I'm all for people supporting their government, protesting it, whatever. Getting involved and caring about your democratic process is important.
I have to admit, though, when I made my comment I was a little frustrated, hence the probably unfair language. The Canadian Trump supporters around me, save for a one or two, can hardly be bothered to vote in our own elections. And yet somehow Trump is God of the free world. It does get rather tiring to hear.
The ones that actually know their stuff and reasonably debate I have no problems with, as long as they give a shit about their own country as well. We have our own issues to worry about, after all. Also I probably won't reply again, sorry. Mobile redditing makes it too much of a pain.

What a bunch of hillbillies. I was trapped in an elevator at work and the call button didn't work. I was out of there within 10 minutes. What did these people think would happen if they didn't get them out of the elevator ASAP? Did they think the hotel would just make them live in there and they'd have to pass down food to them?
I can't believe that out of all these people no one thought "hey they probably know how to handle this. Let's ask."
They just instantly go to violence, threats, and vandalism. Imagine if they'd pulled the fire alarm and they evacuated the entire hotel and the police and fire department showed up when they should be out handling real emergencies. Not people stuck in an elevator.
Fully grown adult toddlers. And I bet they own guns and vote also.

Sorry to go political, but when you hear people in the US voice their concern about "America losing it's culture" this video provides some perspective. It's not about race, it's about what you see in this video. Why? Because these types of people are EXTREMELY common in the US now. These people are why America is 'scared' and as a result, voted for Trump. Not scared for their safety, scared for their way-of-life. And I get it. Go to a ballgame with the family, Disney, the beach, the movies, etc. and these people are EVERYWHERE and are acting just like the people in this video. Self-centered, swearing, inappropriately dressed, tatted-up and ready to beat the crap out of you if you say something to them. Because of their behavior, you know damn well they are not able to be overly productive as far as working, education and contributing. Odds are government programs support a significant part of their lives or at the very least, some part of their lives. Why is that a problem? Because they can use the money they DO make which allows them to interact with the rest of us. I can see why people are concerned about America losing its culture. These people are EVEYWHERE

Since they recorded themselves prying it open and breaking it I hope they get hit with the bill to fix it.
Why are they all so unable to behave in a capable manner? Instead of running around like fools they could have just, I dunno, called the fire department? And I've never been in an elevator that doesn't have an "emergency" button to summon help, couldn't he just have pressed the button which connects to assistance? At any rate, no one is going to die from being stuck in an elevator for a few minutes.
What a giant gaggle of buffoons, Jesus Christ.

Your comment is a perfect example of how retarded anti-Americanism on reddit is and how much it warps people's perceptions. Since you're under the assumption that the people in the video are American, when they're actually Canadians btw, a switch is flipped in your head and you start trying to find ways to utilize the subject material to push the reddit narrative that is like 90% based on bashing Americans.
When you realize that they're Canadians, you're probably going to be just like "oh" and you'll have no desire to use their behavior to bash Canada. That's called a double-standard, and anti-Americans' entire worldview is based on it.
If the people in the video were ANY nationality, except American, nobody would feel the need to indict that entire nationality based on their behavior.

This site is incredibly pro-American, what are you even talking about? Most redditors are Americans, so even by your own made up statistic they'd be bashing themselves all the time. It's clear that this concept of bias is only happening in your own head. You read 1 anti-american comment and in your mind that's 90% of the content. Get a reality check and maybe tip the waitress because she's clearly not getting a decent minimal wage.

it's entirely possible he has severe mental health issues to the point that their freak out was justifiable (internally, to themselves)
imagine how you'd react if your suicidal, self-harming teenager was caught in that elevator...
also, reading the tripadvisor reviews on that place, it seems like a classic "we opened up for business before completing construction and a lot of people fell in love with the place based on the glossy promotional material showing artist renderings of the place" kind of deals. it's even complete with another reviewer discussing elevator issues (although it may be the same family, but then again this reviewer isn't from Canada and apparently this family is)?

As someone who worked at a hotel overnights (only person on duty at the hotel at this time) I had a few instances of people getting stuck in an elevator.
There's this nifty little tool that when inserted into a little hole in the elevator door will unlock it and allow it to open with almost no effort. The first time I used it I'd never seen it before and it was about a 5 second job.
Also I cringe when the lady yells to pull all the fire alarms. I've also had someone do this in the middle of the night and you would not believe the shit storm this causes. 150 people or so getting woke up and evacuated in the middle of the night is super fun.

This is the exact way my wife's family acts. Every small dispute, every small issue at a restaurant or store and this is what happens. Her mom backed my wife's car into parked one this month and when my wife called me, her mom was doing this type of yelling at the guy who owned the car she hit.
My wife isn't like this because she somehow didn't have the white trash gene rub off on her, but I have witnessed this nearly same scenario twice in 8 years. I don't go anywhere where they might be unless I absolutely have to.

This video triggered the fuck out of me as a maintenance man.
Most of these elevators have a special key in a box right next to the door that opens those doors without disabling it. Sometimes you can also power cycle them (depending on the type) and it'll just lower itself to the ground floor and open the door.
I'd have lost it on these people if I had to attempt to do anything around them.

Some how I think that got to be the stupidest thing you can do when an elevator gets stuck like that. When it gets stuck like that it is probably in Emergency mode and the safety feature probably deployed to lock that thing into position to prevent it from falling. Forcing it open means things can go wrong very quickly.

God forbid they(the staff) called for someone actually trained in servicing the elevator and are simply waiting on them. It's not going to randomly fall, this isn't a movie. Calm the hell down in there, take a damn deep breath. I'm sure there was someone, probably on their way at that very moment, that could have gotten him out without breaking the elevator door. I sincerely hope the hotel billed the family for the damage.

People get stuck in elevators all the time. Why was this situation any different? Couldn't have someone been like, "Sir, what do you normally do in this situation? OK, and does that typically resolve the issue expeditiously? OK, well, please do what you would ordinarily do. Thank you."

Bunch of dumbasses... you're supposed to pull the fire alarm when there's a fire (you're just disrupting everyone's day and making everyone think there's a real danger when really your shitty kids are stuck in an elevator), and there's an emergency button in every elevator so fucking push it and wait for help to arrive. They got mad at an employee for doing nothing when there was nothing he could do other than wait for professionals. They broke the elevator door to "save" people that weren't even in harm. They are trash... utter trash...

If the elevator decided to start working and went to move floors while they were half way out it would have been no ones fault but their own.
Let someone who actually KNOWS about elevators "fix" it, those staff members aren't elevator techs, there wasn't anything they could do.
Doing this only put their family members in more potential harm.

Was stuck in an elevator once. Got to press the button with the little fireman hat and told the nice man the elevator was stuck. Fire department fixed it in maybe 10 minutes. I want to press the button again.

My first job at 16 years old was at McDonald's. This trashy lady came in with her children. The youngest was about 6. He wasn't overweight, but he was a big kid. This woman demanded that fresh fries be made for her. That's not a problem really. You just put a basket of fries in and the customer waits about 3 minutes. While she waited, her child managed to get himself stuck in one of the wooden high chairs. Meanwhile her food is ready to go. But it took her about 10 minutes to get him unstuck. And her fries sat there getting cold and soggy. She wasn't rude about him getting stuck. But she was initially rude about the fries. If I remember correctly, she had taken the original fries out of the bag and then demanded the fresh ones.

I didn't like what I saw, but that six year old girls hystericallyโ screaming really made me empathize with their panic. Just not how they treated the people around them.
I'm guessing the people that helped them could hear the screaming as well.
bigpenisdragonslayer ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 02:20:51 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I thought that too at first but then realized they were the ones creating the hysteria in the child. 6 year olds are incredibly impressionable (since everything is new to them) so all the guy in the elevator with her had to say was "woop, this happens to elevators sometimes, we just have to wait for the nice elevator fixers to come in" (or something like that), and then just sit down and distract her, turn it into a positive experience.
And if the little girl has claustrophobia, again, everyone freaking out will only compound the issue.
But that being said, I do understand their stress. But they really should be more mature about it.
Michalusmichalus ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:35:04 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You're right. But, maybe it's the chicken or the egg thing. I just can't conceive that many people getting that panicked and even those wonderful souls that helped them over nothing.
Let a child be crying like they're hurt and they can't see the child... That panic makes a bit of sense right?

I've gotten stuck in an elevator before. had to get an engineer to open the door. took about 15min and it sucked. but I was just like oh well that sucks guess I'll just wait here.

The one thing that comes to mind for me is how inconsiderate they're being to other guests at the hotel. I understand that being stuck on an elevator is inconvenient but not nearly as awful as it would be for a person who has mobility issues on the second floor or higher (who the elevator is for MORE than them).
They managed to get their entirely physically capable family off by disabling the thing after pulling the door off... They got stuck on I'm a temporarily stalled elevator for minutes, and the hypothetical physically disable person on floor 3 has to watch their family having fun at the pool from the balcony for hours, if not a day or more...
Not to mention pulling the fire alarm after disabling the elevator, in turn trapping the hypothetical person with a disability in a perceived emergency.
Ok, I'm done with the hypotheticals but come on!

My job has a really old elevator and not to long ago it randomly stopped when i was on it, knowing sometimes the elevator slowly descends onto a floor i just jumped up a little and it went back to working fine lol, sure i was a little nervous being stuck but i think overreacting like that 18 year old and family was trashy af.

This is why you decide on a pee corner immediately when you get stuck. It keeps everyone calm and let's everyone know that everyone in the elevator is normal and not some kind of weirdo.

You know the fire alarm disables the elevator right? And why pull "every one"? These people are just running around looking for something malicious to do. And they knew they were in the wrong.
You mean other than the one in your hand? Yes. There are. At least two per floor. You fucking idiot.
And then the death threats.
This is a tragedy. Society failed these people. We let them devolve.

I bet they're secretly loving it. They finally think they're important and that they have an excuse to run about shouting, pulling 'every fire alarm they see'. But in reality, sometimes elevators break like this, and the sane thing to do is wait for someone who actually knows what they are doing to deal with it.
I can't imagine having that guy's job.. I work at a cafe and I get a lot of people having a go at me for things that I can't help, but having a family like this to deal with must be a nightmare..

How is it possible to be this stupid? An elevator got stuck, how does this warrant so much panic? It would be one thing if her kids were actually kids but that one was a grown-ass man (although you'd never guess from his behavior). Absolute trash. People like this make me wish Hell was real. In fact, I bet Hell would be a lot like being trapped in an elevator with these people.
I hope the hotel didn't give these subhumans any sort of freebies and that they had to pay for any damage to the elevator doors.

I've never met more friendly, kind and loving people anywhere. Most of them live in poverty and I doubt get paid very much. These assholes are lucky I wasn't there, because I would have kicked the shit out of those inbred fucks.

Ok ok ok. I once got stuck in a really old elevator of my apartment building. This thing was probably so against code. I can't remember the capacity but it could fit three adults maybe and that's touching shoulder to shoulder crammed in there. Anyways, I was out with some buds and we decided to go back to my place for drinks after the bars. All 6 of us rode that elevator in a drunken state, packed in like sardines. As you would guess the elevator got stuck so we called 911. They ended up showing up 4 hours later for a reason I can't remember, they said one issue was it's a locked building and couldn't get in. Anyways, in that period of time we all had to pee...and we had one beer bottle. Needless to say we took turns peeing in the corner. Eventually is inevitable and we got the pee all over our shoes and pants as we moved around trying to get comfortable. You could hear a drip of the pee leaking from the elevator every once in a while when we managed to be a quiet for a second. I forget how or why but I ended up getting into a fight with this one guy I didn't know that well. Do you know how hard it is to punch someone when four or your buddies are welded to different parts of your body and crushing you against a pee soaked box and some asshole on the other end of the idiot train wants to start some shit?

Why can't elevators move to a floor in some sort of safe-mode, and open the doors. It seems like this should exist in the 21st century.
I was stuck in an elevator once for over an hour.

What an absolute bunch of retards. Get a hold of the janitor or the security company. I do private security and 9/10 times you just need to reset the fuse in the elevator. But to be honest, breaking the fire alarm will cause the elevator to go into emergency mode, meaning that it will go to the bottom floor and stay there with the doors open until the alarm is reset. So that might actually work, but I REALLY doubt that's what they were going for. They seemed more like a bunch of headless chickens running around.

But that wasn't the case. I was absolutely shocked to see a grown man emerge from the elevator and flip out. What the fuck is wrong with those people? Chill, damn.

When i was 11 my sister and two little brothers were playing on a elevator at a resort, our first vacation and we had little supervision, well the elevator got stuck. I called maintained on the phone which was provided by the buttons, and about 15 mins later they showed up used there fancy tools and got us out gave us some vouchers and we were on our way. It was pretty boring. Not sure why these people had to loose there mind.

As someone who works security, I can say that it's not like we can open elevator doors like its nothing when something like that happens. That is something that the local metro fire department or someone cerified to work on an elevator has to take care of. It's too much of a liability if a security officer tries to prop open the door and something happens as a result that injures or kills a customer. Literally all they had to do was call the fire department and wait. You're not going to die in a stuck elevator just because it's stuck.

Wait, why did these dumb hicks want to pull the fire alarm in the first place? What is the fire alarm going to do when an elevator is stuck? Unless the elevator or the shaft itself is on fire that won't do fucking anything. If anything, it would just force the Hotel to evacuate all the persons staying at the hotel, which would be an absolute fucking mess.

These Canadians are trashy as fuck but everyone's laughing off getting stuck in an elevator like it's harmless.
I once got stuck in a tiny elevator within military housing with 2 other people when it was over 100 degrees out. There was a tiny fan in the elevator that didn't work and this little metal box was hot as fuck within minutes. Their was one property manager/maintenance man for the whole complex which was basically split up into 4 apartment blocks so there is no way the guy would have known if I didn't have relative run to tell him. Then the elevator crew had to fight through traffic and sit at the gate to the military base waiting to get access. We all almost definitely would have gotten heat stroke but friends were able to pry the doors open.

To be fair, the same people giving them shit for this behavior would be up in arms if they were not concerned at all. Yeah, they should of been nicer, but they were panicked. People do stupid stuff when they panic.
It is hard to hear your children crying on the other side and not be able to help them.

Fun fact: Some states there is a fine for tampering with elevator doors, and a felony charge. As well, it's a felony to pull fire alarms in a hotel or occupied building for cases other than extreme emergency. I assume the hotel leveraged this. The fines definitely hurt them more than the paltry addition to their felony lists.

One time I got stuck in an elevator with 8 of my friends and a cute Asian couple. We had just stopped at the liquor store on the way back to a friends apartment. When we called for maintenance they told us it would be 45 min for the repair guy, because it was after hours. So, naturally, we got wasted in that elevator. The Asian woman was pissed about it, her husband thought it was hilarious. We tried to get him to drink with us, but he wisely abstained.

What the unruly party did here is the most dangerous thing you could possibly due in this situation; forcing the doors open and climbing through the opening without ensuring that the elevator was disabled, if the elevator began to move in the middle of extrication, take a wild guess at the catastrophic event that could follow. Good on them though, if they're american, which unfortunately they probably are, i'll bet a paycheck they voted for trump.

It's as if the general concept of a machine malfunctioning is lost on them. I genuinely wonder how they'd handle their car breaking down with them in it.
I imagine it would involve stuffing a wife beater in the gas tank and setting that bitch ablaze before mercilessly beating on it with crowbars in a show of strength, unity, and dominance.

Once was in Atlantic City with my family. We were leaving, with our car queued up to exit the parking garage. My grandpa had started using a wheelchair as of recently, and so it took some time to get him from the wheelchair to the car, as this was a fairly new experience for all of us.
Meanwhile, a family similar to one in the video is about 3 cars behind us. They are repeatedly honking and yelling swears at us to try to get us moving. When we eventually were ready to move out of the garage, we parked on the side of the road to get the directions home. The angry family passed us, with the wife in the passenger seat flipping us off as they drove by.
What is it with trashy families being so damn impatient? And also rude, of course.

These have got to be some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. Pull every fire alarm? That is not going to help you open the elevator. Not to mention pulling one will do exactly the same thing as pulling them all. And this dude in the elevator acting as if the staff had any control over him getting trapped.

As someone who works maintenance in a hotel, my heart goes out to that gentlemen. Maybe he didn't know the protocol for a stuck elevator. Where I work that is my teams problem. We have 24/7 maintenance on sight.
I had to deal with people like this but thankfully I grew a backbone and said, "DO you want your friends out? Step away from the elevator and let me do my job."
Maybe he had called the fire department.
Things like this really piss me off.

Is anyone going to mention that the correct thing would have been for the 20-something kid in the elevator with the young girl to remain the most calm and comfort the little girl instead of freaking the fuck out? What party is he missing where anyone needs to get that pissed off?

Honestly they endangered their child even more with that little stunt.
When the door was broken open like that the elevator doesn't "know" that the door is open and someone is going through it. If they were unlucky and the elevator started moving at that point you'd end up with half a kid.
And the fucking lady screaming "Oh my god" when the door opens, you'd think the person actually was cut in half. Jesus, lady.

They were about to break down the door and dumb drunk girl opens it and is all like, what I was asleep, I didn't hear people pounding on my door for the last 30 minutes.

In this situation, a child is going to do what the adults do. If the adults are calm/cool about the situation, the children will be calm/cool. If the adult starts panicking, the child will start panicking.
Only situation in which this type of urgency is necessary, would be if the child is literally dying from something, which I doubt was happening. Literally every other time, you wait it out, and stay calm until help arrives, everything else is just damaging the situation.
I fucking LOLed as soon as a fully grown man jumped out of that elevator freaking out. He should have been doing everything possible to help the child calm, and he certainly almost made it worse.

At one of my old apartment buildings, people used to get stuck in the elevator and I never ever saw anyone act like this. Most people just called the front desk to let them know, and the front desk would get someone over to get them out. There was never any yelling, hostility or any obvious panicking. Now if you're stuck in there and have to use the bathroom..then that calls for panicking lol.

Trapped in an elevator twice. Once in Mexico with my younger sister when we were 12/14. We just sat tight and waited for someone to come and tell the staff.
When my parents came they kept their cool. Seeing this sort of behavior from grown adults really makes me appreciate how I was raised.....

Speaking as someone who has been stuck in a elevator before for 6 hours, yeah it gets hot but its really not that bad if theres not 50 people inside.
It's a lot more dangerous to exit the elevator this way than to wait like a non idiot for a technician to lower the elevator to the ground level before exiting it.
.. because what if the breaks fail?

I was stuck in an elevator once with my two under 5 kids. And with about 5 other people in there. We had to climb out via ladder because we were between floors. You remain calm. Reassure your kids that everything will be ok. There are safety mechanisms to prevent it from falling. I hope they had to pay for the damage to that door. Above all remain as calm as you can.

I worked for a hotel where there was a service elevator in the back. It was a piece of crap that would get stuck every once in a while. A housekeeper was on it and, once again, it got stuck. Maintenance came and used the key to open the doors. She was stuck between floors, however, and for some reason he came to the lower half of the elevator and opened the doors below.
She panicked and jumped out at him when he wasn't expecting it. I don't know if he wasn't looking or just wasn't expecting her to jump out at him in that moment. However it happened, she fell into the opening below the elevators. She was between the 4th and 5th floors so she didn't make it.
This video reminded me of that. I was so worried they were going to drop those kids.

This reminds me of the time that I was heading back to my office after getting lunch in the cafeteria in the lower level, the elevator that I was in was packed and as it stopped at the first floor the door didn't open, then it went to the next floor...doors still didn't open. Up and down we went for over an hour. Maintenance called the people that work on the elevator; apparently they had just been on the grounds earlier and headed back to their shop half an hour ago so they needed to try to reach them and have them come back (this was just before everyone had cell phones).
This was an office building at a hospital so there were people constantly calling for the elevator, up and down we'd go. The door would also try to open at each stop so maintenance told us that we needed to keep the door close button pressed so it wouldn't try to open each time. I was the lucky one near the panel so I got to press the button. Our little trip to nowhere took about an hour and a half -not great when you're claustrophobic and are prone to anxiety attacks - was very happy to have a corner and didn't have people on every side of me, oh, and for some reason I had taken a xanax right before lunch. Thankfully everyone kept calm and we were able to find humor in the situation. Meetings were missed, caregivers had to cover for those of us that were stuck; luckily there were no patients stuck in there. If I recall correctly I got in trouble when I got back to the office for taking a long lunch even though I was told that maintenance did call our office to notify them I was on the elevator, the manager didn't care. Next time I'm going to call everyone in the buildings and tell them to pull all the fire alarms if I'm stuck more than 10 minutes.

What's with all the hate for this family? The guy who got stuck in there obviously had claustrophobia, and the little girl is gonna have it now too. They were trying to get their family out. Yeah, I get it, they were freaking out, but imagine if you got stuck in an elevator and you had claustrophobia. Or if it were your children. The yelling at the security guard was unreasonable, but he wasn't doing anything, he wasn't even trying to calm them down.

Oh for christs sake. I used to work at a hotel and the elevators would get stuck A LOT. Usually people were pretty chill and just called the front desk so we could reset it and get it opened. Once a family with two young kids got stuck halfway between floors and we had to wait for the maintenance guy to come and fix it because it was late at night... I felt really bad for them. If I worked there I would call the cops on them so fast!

The bad news is that the idiots probably escaped legal action by just going home to their trailer park in the good ole USA.
The good news, is that the hotel has their credit card and will charge them for damages. Hotels are shifty mother fuckers, but they have to be because of asshats like these.

i got stuck in an elevator, though i think it was more of a glitch in the system than a physical problem. The group that was in there with me pressed the buttons about once a minute, the button would light up but nothing would happen, and then the button would go back to off again this was the same for the open door button aswell, we got out when someone pressed the call button on another floor, the big problem is this elevator was basically in the side of a hill so there was no cell reception, they did have an elevator phone but we weren't that desperate yet.

10 minutes? during my first year at university I lived in a new residence. Two of the main elevators were down so I had to take a maintenance elevator with 13 other people. This elevator wasn't complete. It was basically 4 walls of plywood being hoisted by a cable. I assume it was more solid than that, but that's what it looked like from the inside. The elevator stopped midway through the ride and after 50 minutes, everyone was very warm. I took the stack of papers I was going to use for my essay and just waved air downwards at everyone, they appreciated it. We all signed our names on the plywood as the 50 minute crew and then finally we were set free. The elevator maintenance guys at my university aren't on the property if they're on call, so we had to wait. We were upset but we weren't super pissed. Oh we also used that incident as ammo for getting some of our res money back for that year.

It's my time to shine, about 5 years ago when my brother got shot in a drive by I ended up spending most nights at this Regional Hospital on the east side to wipe my brothers ass and press the little button that gave him pain meds while he slept.
ANYWAYS, the bathroom in his room flushed super loudly so I ended up having to go take the elevator to the first floor to use the public ones. About a month and a half into my service (kek) having done the dead of taking my #2 I then hopped into the LEFT elevator and reached floor 2/3 before it fucking stopped on me at 3AM like holly fuck me. Me being me I opted out of clicking the alarm button because I know it's loud as fuck so I do the next best thing and call this RN that always had the grave yard shift and was cool.
him: "What's up? Aren't you with brother"
me: "I'm trapped in the elevator, can you get someone to help me?"
him: "hahaah what? oh you're serious dude wait"
It took like an hour to get me out because the dude who came to fix it couldn't so they just opened the top part of the elevator and pulled me out.
Only thing I was mad about was how close I came to being trapped in that shit while needing to take one.

I work at the front desk of a hotel. Can you also imagine the headache the staff now have to deal with? That elevator that may have had a small problem now has a broken door that probably isn't as easily fixed.
Now the hotel has to deal with guests complaining about long elevator wait times as well as probably that family of however many all screaming at them at once.
Elevators break. It baffles me when people get so upset over this. Other things break too! The other day our hot tub was drained and out of order and a guest complained. When I explained it was a safety issue she said it "wasn't a good enough reason".

As someone who's worked managing facilities, there's nothing you can generally do until the elevator tech shows up. Unless the person is having some sort of medical emergency, it's dangerous to pass through the doorway kid an elevator that isn't properly functioning.

Back in grade 9 my uncle took me in for "take your kids to work day", he works as an elevator technician and would purposely come in late for "stuck in elevator" calls as long as there is no emergency. I asked him why and he said its just funny to him.
In another note, can we find out if the family had to pay for damages? im assuming firefighters came on scene because they pulled the fire alarm and when firefighters come into the scene with no real emergency you can bet they gonna charge/fine someone for it.

I got stuck in an elevator in a Hilton with my two younger brothers a decade ago. Our parents werevatva wedding at the hotel and had no idea we were stuck till the fire department tracked them down. After an hour trying to keep my very young brothers calm they pulled us out of a space a litter over a foot high and let us go. Nobody flipped out. Not even my at the time 8 and 4 year old brothers. This family is trailer trash and should be out in a tent and not a nice hotel.

Building maintenance guy here. If you're stuck in an elevator you can open the inside doors. If you're close enough to a floor door there's a little silver bar dangling down move that an inch the doors will just roll open. If you're on the outside use a coat hanger through the hole to hit the solve bar same thing will happen. I figured this out when I was twelve and got stuck once though took about ten min. If you've ever been stuck in an elevator for longer than 15min you're a moron.

I'm sure it's been said, but getting stuck in a hotel elevator really isn't all that bad. My hotel is attached to a shopping mall, so random people pack in to the lifts with their bags and luggage which results in a failure. We call our security team who then use a key to open the doors. Usually less than 3 minute solution if everyone on site are on the ball. If you're at 10 mins, maybe they were waiting for their emergency technician to come in or for security to finish a call. Either way, YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT JUST FINE.

When I was an intern (physical therapy), a patient (a rich lady) with heart problems got stuck with two physical therapists and my co-intern. According to them, the only one who was panicking is my co-intern.
The rest, including the wheelchair-bound patient, is having a laugh over the whole thing. They were joking around with the patient seeing that it was her last day at the hospital and the patient was laughing along with them.
It took... 8 minutes? When they got out, a doctor and a couple of nurses were outside on standby. But the patient was too at ease so it was a relatively tame event.

Got stuck in an elevator once, none of the electrical safety worked, luckily my cell phone barely had enough reception to call 911. If I didn't have my cell phone who knows how long I would have been in there. I was in there for two hours, alone, and I thought I was gonna go crazy. I still ride elevators, but I fear them. 0/10 wouldn't do it again.

When I heard him crying after getting out of that elevator I was quite sure that he now has an elevator anxiety. FFS, parents of reddit who see this video, pls don't be nervous or overreact when something like this happens to your kid. You just make your kid fear the situation and then it might be traumatized. The most important thing in such a situation is to calm down. It maybe sounds hard but what do you expect a kid will feel like when they see their parents overreacting? It will scare the shit out of the kid. Always stay the calm part and try to calm down your kid.
And on top of all. Don't be an idiotic jerk that "solves" the problem on his own. There are people who have knowledge. It's their job to work with an elevator. Call them. Inform the hotel management and don't try to do it on your own. I'm not an elevator mechanic but who the fuck knows what could happen if you try to help your kid by getting it out there alone? If you don't know how to handle such things, don't try to handle it. Always think before you do something. You could make the situation even worse for that kid.
Pls parents of reddit. Think before you do something. And pls don't be such jerks. The hotel management can't do something if you don't let them.

People need basic training on what to do in case they're stuck in an elevator. You contact maintenance wait. No alarms, threats etc. I'm guessing it would be within the hotel's right to charge them for the damages and report the threats and the terrible conduct to the police.

The situation in that elevator comes down to how everyone inside handles it. If one person panics and freaks out it effects the whole group, this incident it looked like the eldest freaked out which obviously worried the younger kids.
I once got stuck in an elevator between floors with 6 other friends, some of us were fine but 1 guy started crying and another freaked out so much he was sick once we got out. It was our own fault we got stuck, me and my friend thought it would be hilarious to open the doors whilst the elevator was moving.
As someone who had a horrible fear of elevators before the incident, I think it helped cure my fear. I would avoid the elevators and use the stairs. That being said they have improved alot since I was young and feel much safer.

That's probably the most exercise that whale ( camera women) has gotten in years. why can't idiots let the professionals handle the situation? At first i kinda sympathized with the parents since i thought a toddler got stuck alone. At the end i saw the fucking man child who was too much of a child to stay calm.

Somehow I suspect that half the reason the kid was crying was because of the amount anxiety already expressed by the adults trying to wedge open the door. If they'd just kept calm and waited for maintenance I'm sure the kid wouldn't be half as traumatised.
Also that 18 yr old needs to wash his mouth out with soap!!

I've been stuck in an elevator three times, all in my dorm building. It was a pretty crappy elevator. On one occasion me and 8 others got stuck in it for an hour, it's only supposed to hold like 5 so that's probably the reason it broke down. We were wasted and had booze on us so ended up playing drinking games and singing while we waited for the maintenance guy to turn up. It was pretty funny.. HOWEVER, if i was stuck in an elevator and people outside started freaking out, then panic attacks ahoy.

This is kinda late but relevant, once I was at a lacrosse camp back in high school that was held at SDSU. We thought it would be funny to cram as many kids in the elevator as possible. We managed to get 17 sweaty teenage boys ( probably should only hold 6 max) plus our gear bags in the elevator. This caused the elevator to trigger the emergency break and we were all stuck in the elevator for two hours. There was a point where we were creating so much heat condensation started to form on the walls. We past the time with jokes about farts, and a very long sing along session with artist ranging from Queen to Kanye West. It was honestly one of the most fun things I've been a part of. We probably would have gotten help sooner but no one wanted to get in trouble for fear of being sent home. But it's just a bit suspicious when 17 kids don't show up to practice, and when they go back the check the dorms where we all went all they heard was loud music and screaming from the elevator shaft. Once freed we were greeted by a very angry camp director and some rad firefighters who seemed a little impressed.
10/10 would get trapped and sing bohemian rhapsody in a swampy boy sauna again P.s our legend still lives on to this day I went back to go teach a middle school clinic recently and over heard some kids talking about it.

I work at a hospital and was in the oldest of the pavilions the other day. I actually got stuck in one of the elevators with a construction worker who clearly gets stuck in them all the time. I went to hit the "open door" button. And he laughs and goes "I wouldn't want to make THAT mistake again. How about we try the RED button?"
Trapped in an elevator? Hit the red button guys. Don't try to open the door, especially when you're probably in between floors.

I'm another guy who's got stuck in an elevator. Except in my situation it was me and something like 8-10 other people in a fully loaded elevator. When we hit the ground floor the elevator actually sunk a few inches lower than it was suppose to because of the excess weight and the doors didn't open.
It was funny at first but I can tell you a small room filled with people feels like it loses oxygen real quick. A few of us almost freaked out. But low and behold we hit the call button and not more than 5 minutes later the doors opened and we were stepping UP to the ground floor.

Good grief do people not stop and think. I would love to berate these people for being horrible human beings. While they are shit at being civilized they deserve pity, patience, and the chance for redemption. It's really all about a lack of education. For them, an extreme lack of basic life skills...This is what happens when you let your emotions dictate your behavior. It's like no one taught them as 4 year olds how to deal with a temper tantrum. I am so glad to have been raised to behave civily in public. I couldn't imagine behaving in such an embarrassing and shameful way. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Nasty disgusting behavior.

Maybe they had a really really bad experience at that hotel, you know like when the service is really awful and lots of things go wrong. Maybe this was just the families breaking point and they they got more pissed off and unreasonable about it than normal circumstances would call for.
Judging by the video evidence this seems a bit unlikely, but since everyone else is bashing them in every other way, I'll try to defend them i guess. I mean I really hope this was the case..

The staff did a pisspoor job of calming down the family and reassuring them that maintenance would arrive shortly to properly get them out. They did literally just stand there even when accused of doing so and still didn't take that as a cue for actually assuaging the situation.

Is making a threat okay in that situation? No, but it is more understandable.

I understand what you're saying, but the family was definitely putting their child in more danger by trying to pry open the doors themselves instead of just waiting for the appropriate, equipped help.

The thing is if he was claustrophobic its no reason for the family to panic. If anything there panic made it much scarier for him. IF he was claustrophobic the family should have stayed calm talked to him threw the door to calmly tell him that help was on the way.

Right, you definitely wouldn't panic if you knew a family member was trapped and possibly claustrophobic and trapped with a few younger family members... Its actually very possible regardless of the families actions someone with claustrophobia could hyperventilate and pass out and or potentially die.
I'm just saying its unrealistic to expect total calm in an unexpected situation like that. Even if you believe yourself some paragon of wisdom and relaxation, you must realize the rest of humanity isn't like that. To quote MIB "A person is smart, people are dumb, dangerous, panicky animals and you know it"

You could be tolerant of the elevator for a min or two. No one truly expects to be stuck. So If I knew I would be stuck for hours and I was claustrophobic I might overexagerate.

I have panic attacks. Sure, I wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator but this is not the response at all. If my family reacted this way if I was stuck, I would let loose on them for being ignorant and obnoxious.

I actually witnessed the girl from Arcade Fire (the one who is married to Win, the singer) get stuck in a hotel elevator in Melbourne, Australia. He had taken a seperate elevator and when he got the groundfloor and realised she was stuck, he overreacted with this same irrational dickery, though in a much more artful-indie way. It was thoroughly entertaining. I wish I had recorded it.

First of all, how is nationality important? These people are asshats no matter what nation they belong to. Also, it's common knowledge that you don't judge an entire country just based on a handful of people of that country. Really, there shouldn't be a need to know about their nationality. Finally, you're talking about people not doing their research, but there is no way to find out what country they belong to, unless you can some how show me that family's passport.

You started with a valid point but then went off the deep end saying I was judging and what not. Fact is they were Canadian and I thought you were trying to duck and dodge that simply because usually it's the other way around - hillbilly American's acting a fool. Turns out my hunch for your quick defensiveness was correct due to your nationality. I am American, easy to tell on my comment history and you probably are right, my knee jerk reaction after clearly hearing their Canadian sounding accents was to correct people who were assuming incorrectly. We do have better things to do than argue about this - we can agree to that. Good day to you kind sir.

Worked in hotels for over 10 years now. Elevators break down, people. They're in operation 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Even the seediest hotels I've worked at have received regular elevator maintenance because that's a state law.
Believe me, the employees are aware the elevator has stopped and there are people stuck in it. They have notified the elevator company and they've got someone dispatched for an emergency maintenance visit. If the elevator company doesn't have someone available (and they'll tell us if that's the case), we make a non-emergency call to the fire department and they'll come handle it (also in the same 10-15 minute timeframe.)
If there's an actual emergency involved with the broken down elevator, we make an emergency call to the fire department and they'll get there in five minutes instead of ten, but the net result is the same - they stop by the desk, ask us for the elevator keys, and then do the same thing the elevator repairman would do to get the elevator to the nearest floor. If the doors are stubborn or they need to open the doors (such as in an emergency), they also have the proper tools to open the doors quickly, efficiently, and without damaging them.
I wish these fuckos figured out how to pull that fire alarm. Do they have any fucking idea how much that would cost them? I wouldn't be surprised if the hotel charges them for damaging their property, either. I guarantee you these shitheaps were told that the elevator repairman had been called and was on his way, and they refused to listen or care. That employee just standing there probably already knows they're on the way and was sent there to keep an eye on things and keep order, but wasn't stupid enough to try and "keep order" when you have a bunch of inbred rednecks screaming obscenities and acting like a bunch of jackasses.

Please start making actual arguments. The level of oxytocin in my blood stream has nothing to do with the subject.
Because they're a bunch of fucking morons, dickhead. Help is on the way. By doing what they did, they increased the danger to the people in the elevator because no one knows why the elevator stopped in the first place.
This is on the same level as people trying to move or carry people who have suffered a spine or neck injury - stop freaking out, you are making it worse, wait for the professionals to arrive and handle it.
Do you really think I've never had to personally deal with situations like this in more than ten years in the industry? Dude, these situations come up at least once a year - the "oh my god my <insert family member here> is trapped in the elevator!!!!" dickheads that run around screaming and freaking out. The only thing I see here that was done wrong was that security staff weren't present at the elevators to keep people away from them. Maybe the staff felt that one guy was enough, or maybe they had other staff on the way and they hadn't arrived yet. I don't know.
The employee's reaction was more or less correct - get out of the way, don't get yourself assaulted, relay information back to the desk and management, observe, and make sure guests know help is already on the way (that last bit would be pointless here and probably would've just pissed them off even more, so staying quiet was the next best thing.) Same idea behind the policy of "just give them the money" when robberies happen - don't be a hero.
You're the one that refuses to operate based on logic, insults me, and then just generally acts like a dickhead. Maybe you ought to take a step back, it's clear you aren't able or willing to actually think here. Should I expect you'd be just like the inbred morons in the video and make the problem worse, should you have found yourself in this situation?

weird, I can see your comment in my inbox but not in the thread. like I said, to people who have no clue about safety precautions, it'd be your duty to calm them down and explain that nothing is going to happen, that there are checks in place. Granted, the video doesn't show the full story and them disrespecting the staff doesn't help. But think of it from a parent's standpoint? Think of all the what-if situations that would pop in your head if you didn't know how elevators operated? Before reading this thread and knowing a little bit more about elevators, had I become trapped in one, I would have freaked out considering the numerous amounts of videos I've seen of elevators plummeting in movies. It may be ignorance, but this isn't something that you look into actively, it's not something you would google actively.
Again, the video doesn't depict the full story most likely, but I'd expect that as soon as the elevator got stuck, someone from the staff would have talked to the people on the other side and told them to calm down, that it's not a situation to freak out about.

So I'm really surprised at Reddit right now.
Figured they'd be better than this. Criticize the family for how they reacted sure that's fair- they were over-reacting.
But everyone is calling out this family and making fun of them for the way they live, and all. Granted being white and low income isn't a protected class. But if I started off about how some race was tearing through an area and they had never been outside of their low income area, etc etc etc people would call me intolerant.
And we can do that for gays, lesbians, etc etc. So you've found a convenient group to make fun of-cool. As long as we are making fun of them, then it shouldn't matter that we make fun of race or Gays or Lesbians either should it? No it shouldn't.
My point is this: Reddit espouses being tolerant and understanding someone's plight when it fits your agenda, but when someone doesn't fit into your little bubble suddenly it's free game to make fun of them cause their from the south or they live in a trailer or some such.
How about you all fuck off and acknowledge that you all are a bunch of hypocrites- that'd be fucking great. But god knows that won't happen.

Jesus that is my point. I'm not sure if you just missed it or are that dumb. But criticize the way they are acting definitely. But people are critizing this family for being low educated, low income, WHITE family. Suddenly that makes this family open season to discriminate against or to not tolerate them somewhere because they look like "hicks" (What you really just said is White low income family- There is another word for a black family that has a similar connotation). My point is that people are espousing being intolerant of these people because they are white- while they claim that they openly accept everyone.
My point is that people are only being open and accepting when it fits their agenda and not when it is people they disagree with.

I acknowledge that I am a hypocrite.
On an unrelated note, this family's behavior was ugly and unnecessarily aggressive.
"A child is stuck in the elevator with an emotional, panicked adult claustrophobic. Better pull all of the fire alarms!"
The browsing public reacts against people like this because this type of impulsive, violent behavior should be frowned upon.
JohnBraveheart ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:52:40 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well at least you've got that going for you then- then really you shouldn't care when people call black people names or asian people names right- or gay people or lesbians or or or? Because after all they can just state- ya fuck it, I'm a hypocrite- now that makes everything ok.
Did they actually pull a fire alarm? Do they actually do it? Nah- they didn't. Probably because they were getting all worked up and just saying shit- like most people do, and guess fucking what- didn't actually fucking pull it.
Sure they were acting out of line and they should have calmed down- but just because they were trying to get the door open and being impulsive does not give someone the right to openly discriminate against someone's color and socioeconomic status.
If the people in this video were black, asian, gay, or lesbian etc- the reaction on here would be SIGNIFICANTLY different. But because they are white and poor- boom suddenly hey who gives a shit.
My point is that Reddit while constantly trying to point how much people bully them and whine- when they get the opportunity the people on Reddit just as readily become the Bully. They are NOT immune to the effect. My point is that people need to practice what they preach- and when it really comes down to meaningful actions the people on Reddit have yet to really show that they do that.

I feel like you're the one making this about race.

JohnBraveheart ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:50:47 on March 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That was my whole problem though- and why I specifically didn't comment on one person's comment and chose to make it my own comment.
Some people were just stating that these were trashy people- that's fine- like I've said they were over-reacting and behaving poorly. Sure go ahead and criticize etc.
But a LOT of comments after saying that would then go on to say that they hated these people- that they had never moved out of their trailer park etc etc. My point was that 'hating' people because they act like this- followed by the comments about where they live, how they live, what their family life is like- etc- goes strikingly close to hating a group of people versus just hating someone who is acting 'trashy'.
Once again, if their was a video of black people (for example) and I stated that I hated their clothes, the way they dressed, their hair, how low their shorts were- etc- that's gets very close to being racist. Now again, this isn't a hiring application or anything like that- more I was trying to show people that they are really just hating on different people. That the people they try to criticize for being close minded- realistically just dislike a different group of people than Reddit normally. (That's a nuanced point admittedly- but I was surprised by the amount of vitriol for this family when you switch a few key things would drastically change someone's interpretation of what you are saying).

Alright, I think there is a lot of overreaction here. I realize they were rude, but imagine this scenario.
Your friend and a young girl are stuck in an elevator. You have no clue that there are safety precautions, and as you see it they are hanging by a broken wire 10 floors (that's what the elevator seemed to say? Not really sure) up. You go and tell the hotel, and they say "Okay, we have a technician coming."
And then, nothing. There is no attempt to try and open the elevator. The employees don't do anything. The thing is, to these people, they feel that at any moment the elevator will fall. And when it does, the people inside die. It's literally a life or death scenario to them, and they have to save their friend/daughter.
I mean, threatening that guys life is wrong, breaking alarms is wrong. Still though, These people probably saw it all as their friends being moments from dying and noone at the hotel caring. It just seems like ignorance to me, but not the kind that makes me overtly angry.
Edit:And if you think I'm wrong, don't just downvoted. Please tell me why, if I'm missing something I want to know.

the fact is that not one individual in that family was able to remain calm in a time of crisis. and let's be honest, why wouldn't there be safety precautions? perhaps the hotel staff could have been more empathetic, but there's no need for an entire family to show a young child that destructive and disorderly behavior is the best way to handle an emergency.
Joshduman ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:00:13 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because that's never how it's potrayed in movies or TV shows. If that's your entire experience with them then you wouldnt think precautions exist.
Additionally, are you able to remain calm thinking a loved one is going to die? A murderer puts a gun to your mother's head, are you calm? That might be a good trait, but the vast majority do not have the ability to act calmly when they think someone is going to die.

While very rare, it's still a possibility for a elevator to free fall. If you're in a budget hotel I definitely see the reason for a parent to be a bit spooked (I'm not saying what they did was right, but I understand why they acted like they did).

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. Clearly these people were extremely rude and clearly they are overreacting, but I can see why a normal person would overestimate the danger here. And as far as I can tell, the employees made no real effort to explain or calm them. And for people who are already panicking, that can be really frustrating.

The video was originally posted by the lady recording and part of the description of the original video on youtube (which is now taken down) was "Two kids including a 6 year old were trapped in the elevator for 10 mins and no one came..."
10 minutes isn't a lot of time. People get trapped in elevators all the time. The employees did what they had to do. They are security guards, they did exactly what they were supposed to do. They call maintenance and were waiting patiently. At least in the video you also see the female guard trying to calm the family down and tell them that maintenance was on the way. The male guard in the video who was really quiet we obviously had no idea what he might have told them before and just decided it best not to open his mouth any further to this family.
Also, the hotel they were in was an all-inclusive hotel, which means all drinks a free. I'd bet a good dollar most of the adults were loaded when this happened.

If you literally think it's a life or death scenario, 10 minutes is a lot of time. I think it's totally plausible that a bunch of people who mostly know about elevator shutdowns from movies and TV would think that.

I think your wrong about their behavior being acceptable. The kid had a grown man in the elevator with them. I don't know if the video would have been posted if they were black, and I don't care. It was posted and there is no world where panicking, pulling fire alarms, and threatening to kill people is acceptable because people are stuck in an elevator for 10 minutes.

"pull every fire alarm possible"
They're being completely irrational. You call the front desk and say the elevator is stuck. Elevators have a manual switch for these situations, among other options.

I don't think he was saying that they were acting well. His point seemed to me to be that when you see what seems to be a highly irrational freakout, look to the society that engenders it. We've been glorifying reactionary anti-intellectuism collectively for a long time now. It's pretty ironic that when confronted with the fruits of this, the reaction is to reach for the shallowest possible explanation that allows oneself to feel superior while dodging any personal or collective culpability.
We all got to this point by drawing lines between us and always turning away from thoughtful explanations and solutions in favor of the immediate, simple, and emotionally satisfying. Our behavior as a society and as reaction in this thread mirrors these people and the elevator.

That's assuming ignorance is a modern phenomenon. Dumbasses gon' be dumb, heedless of the space and time in which they reside.
The idea that dumbasses like this exist at every point in human history is the one true constant in the universe. Einstein probably used mouthbreathers like this to prove special relativity.
Anti-intellectualism is not restricted to modern or even the classical eras.

Doesnt matter, they are shitty people period. Being trapped in an elevator wont kill you, or in this case their loud irrational threatening kid.

I get this is Reddit and people like to talk down to others and make themselves feel good, but you understand you're looking at people in their utter most stressed states. You're judging people that are emotionally distraught with tempers flaring and saying that's their personalities...They aren't thinking rationally, give them a break.

10 minutes. That's all it took for them to blame staff, break shit and threaten to kill someone. If it was a little child by themselves I can understand the fear, but the kid was stuck with what looks to be a 20 yr old.

If someone you love is in danger, you're going to act irrational and for someone to judge you while doing so off the mark. It's easy to sit at home and think that you would act rationally when your stress levels and tempers are flaring, but it's not easy.

It's because whites are seen as inherently anti-trashy. Thus, when a white family displays such trashy characteristics, the label "trashy" becomes necessary to differentiate between the norm and the exception. Of course, many on reddit would love to argue that whites being seen as inherently anti-trashy is because of some magical properties of the skin.

If a different race had this same reaction it would make the front page. It made it cause its absolutely absurd, not because they're white.
Also, trashy is associated with white. Just like beaner is associated with mexicans, chinks for asians, etc. There's no agenda against white people

Indeed. The passing of wealth/knowledge/prosperity to successive generations of families should cease to be the primary drive of the human race. What do I owe my children? They are their own humans, they should have to get by on their own. The aggregate knowledge passed down for eons is not awe inspiring, it's cheating! Reinventing the wheel and basking in your own achievement makes a truly adequate human being, I dare say.
Standing on the shoulders of giants is not something to be avoided, it is the essence of evolutionary progress my naive internet friend. Sounds like your genealogy didn't contribute very much.

People panic, especially people in groups.
All it takes is for things to escalate is the child in the Elevator to start crying, then the older guy will start getting agitated and yelling. Then the mother starts to panic, then the father seeing the mother upset and panicing starts getting angry.
It's like a domino effect.
It has nothing to do with these people being "trashy", and everything to do with the way people naturally behave.

Have you seen interracial crime rates in your country? It's not nearly as bad in America, I admit, but there's still a lot more whites being killed by blacks than the other way around.
How the fuck can you let them steal your property from you then act like that's no big deal? Honest question.

The two are incomparable for a range of factors. You haven't been governed by an extreme minority and had laws that made you a second-class citizen.

You can not like that and also not blame the entire black race. You can also accept black Zimbabweans suffered through some awful conditions thanks to colonialism. You can accept that minority rule that overwhelmingly benefits your race is not right.

No they don't, they blame the dictator in charge. Black Zimbabweans are fed up as well.
And the ones that do blame white people for their problems do have some valid grievances. When my grandparents came to Zimbabwe black people weren't allowed to own land. Those on good farming land were kicked off, with no compensation. They weren't allowed to vote. They weren't allowed to hold high office in the Courts/Army/Parliament/Public service. They weren't allowed to attend specific schools. Rhodesia mirrored Apartheid.
Acknowledging that and hating how the 2000 land redistribution program played out doesn't mean I suffer from cognitive dissonance.

Of course they are. Official unemployment is over 90 per cent. The currency hit inflation rates not seen since the Weimar republic. They had to scrap the Zim dollar and started using US. How are poor black people in the bush supposed to get their hands on US dollars? Now the government has brought in a new currency in the form of bond notes that are supposed to be valued at 1:1 with the USD. Except its a currency not recognised anywhere else in the world. A portion of your salary is automatically converted into these bond notes with or without your consent. Those that are lucky enough to have jobs are getting paid in fucking monopoly money. Then there's the cholera outbreaks, the police (who can't be paid because the country is broke) extorting everyone, and you're damn right black people are over it.
Google the ThisFlag Protest movement. It was started by a black pastor and when it gained traction he was put in jail.

That's the point isn't it. Relatively successful for who? Not the majority of the people living there. Post colonial race-relations in Africa are complex. You're simplifying it into this binary worldview. Things don't happen in a vacuum. Context is important.
radcatskater ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:26:39 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Relatively successful for the white colonists first and foremost, of course. But even if you take a step back, it's hard to deny that colonialism was a huge benefit even to the natives. Bringing medicine, education, agriculture, etc etc.
JakeofNewYork ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 05:44:52 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Black people weren't allowed to access those services, so how did they benefit? There are some quality of life improvements that can be attributed to colonialism, but black people only got to enjoy those improvements after independence.
I think it's safe to say that colonialism has a lot more negatives than positives, and most indigenous people (from places that have been colonised) would agree with that.

Damn i know nobody is going to see this. One time i got stuck in a elevator on my way to school, there was two filipino kids stuck in there with me and they both started crying. Pressed the alarm button, they answered and told me to wait for maintenance. I was like fuck that I'm busting outta here. I opened the door and we were halfway down. This is were I think of shit that happens in movies, but this ain't no movie so i jumped down to the next floor. The kids wanted to do the same thing but I didn't want to be responsible for them being cut in half so i told them to stay because it was dangerous. then I waited in silence for 2 minutes and shit got awkward so i left for school.

They were stuck for 10 minutes...
A hotel employee showed up to tell them that someone was on their way and that it's very dangerous for them to attempt to break out on their own.
Their reaction is absolute bat-shit crazy.

No problem. I think you got downvoted because that information was readily available in an article that someone else linked... I dunno. Reddit loves to hate.
Edit: lol even my reply to you giving you the additional info you asked for garnered a downvote. Don't take it personally lol

To be honest I don't think I'd be rushing these people out either...
Either way I highly doubt it's their job to do this. They're probably not trained and certainly not qualifies to repair or do emergency work on an elevator. Imagine that you were pulling them off and the elevator started moving. In court the first thing they'll ask you would be "why didn't you wait for emergency personel (trained to deal with these things)? Are you qualified for this kind of rescue? What made you ignore the incoming trained professionals and take actions into your own hands resulting on this horrible tragedy?".

What was the emergency? No one was in danger.
Call front desk, get maintenance. If maintenance cannot get elevator to open call 911. 911 operator will dispatch a rescue(fire truck) truck and they will handle it.
Screaming and running around does nothing. Accosting staff members does nothing.
Worst case scenario, one of the family members gets hurt doing somthing stupid trying to get the elevator open.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 01:13:55 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Here is your education: there's usually a phone inside the elevator that calls the maintenance company. Use it. They'll be there in about half an hour and you'll be out within 45 minutes in total. You will not risk your life or destroy private property in the process.
If there's no phone, call management. If you can't contact management, call the fire department.

Definitely Trumpers right here. The last thing you should want to do when your kid is stuck in an elevator is a.) try to further break the elevator which could cause even more problems and be less safe, and b.) try to rescue the kids yourself, because that's just fucking stupid. You are more likely to die in attempting to save them yourself than just waiting for the fire department, who has the tools and specialty to do this type of thing.๏ปฟ

This is the internet. Empathy is for the real world and the face to face (non anonymous) interactions with other human beings. A comment section is the best places for the shit to come out. This is where people be can be unfiltered and unburdened by the anonymity. Written words on the internet can't hurt you (targeted repetitive harassment online is harmful, but a shit comment or 1,000 is not). And remember this fact of reality: offence can only be taken never given.

I'm not saying them shouting is right.. I'm saying it's easy for everyone to grab pitchforks when not knowing the situation.. 10 minutes went by, we caught the end. Who knowns if someone was trying to calm him for the first 8 minutes until he lost it.
Instead of looking at it as "they should have remained calm" you should look at it as why aren't they remaining calm.
They obviously felt there was an emergency.. you don't just rip open an elevator door to a shaft and climb out, if the situation is just "sit tight you'll be out when authorities get here soon"
This is also seen as other guests helped to get the door open.. there is something that happend which validated the response of strangers that we did not see

I get that, I wouldn't want my child stuck in an elevator with a crazy person tbh. But that does not excuse their actions.

I doubt they could have solved this. It is the right thing to wait for service guy to fix this I think, but it still is not a pleasant reality. The family -should- not have reacted the way that did, but I totally understand their reaction and I don't think they should be punished harshly. If your elevator is going to lock up a person, it is your own responsibility to get those people out. If people break the elevator to get the people out, it is the problem of the owner of the elevator.

All I can say is that, this was another "American way" on trying to skip on the bill. Just like how a lot of Americans would intentionally put hair or contaminate their food at restaurants and demand not to pay the bill.
There is a high chance that they not only did not pay their hotel bill but demand money or special holiday packages from the hotel.

It's called being fucking rationale. There's almost no danger here. Her blaming the staff is stupid too. Shit happens. It took that many people to break the door, what was that one guy "just standing there" gonna do? They clearly said they called maintenance. That's the proper fucking solution. This would've been resolved without damage within a few hours tops depending how far maintenance had to travel. Unless there was a medical emergency, there was no reason for behavior like this.

If you find this behavior appropriate then you need to get professional help. Being scared for your kid in a situation where they are in danger completely understandable and appropriate, but that is NOT this situation and certainly does not call for screaming and cursing at the employees of the building who A. Are not at fault, and B. in reality probably already have done everything they can to help by determining where the kids are (which they did before the family as that man was already standing there when the crazies showed up on the floor) and calling maintenance to get them out.

I actually went to the Royalton resort last year in Mexico and I can say their workers are under qualified. A majority of the workers didn't know how to speak English but they were all trained to be nice no matter what. I can understand the family being fed up. There was a lot of things my family got mad about when we were there that the workers did. However they need to calm the fuck down.

Obviously the family came off as a bunch of obnoxious douche-nozzles, but I don't know if I'd wait around for "maintenance" people to show up either, unless I felt I had someone talking to me who was actually reliable (maybe a fire department or something).
Elevator maintenance in the US is pretty shit, and people die in those things every year (it's not a heck of a lot, but more than die from like, terrorism for instance)--mostly in elevators that are past-due on their inspection (which is a lot of them--it's supposed to be posted somewhere inside--look for it next time you're in an elevator).
I'm only saying we don't know the backstory. They seemed pretty damn agitated for people who came across a random elevator issue. There might be some backstory to this.

Agreed. But once you are stuck in one, that means there's a malfunction and your chances of something seriously going wrong goes up. I'm on your side though--I just wonder if something else might not've happened to freak these people out.
Maybe the elevator went into freefall for a floor or something. That might explain the frantic nature of everyone in the video.

Yea I'm going to apologize ahead for this, but in all honesty if I have loved ones stuck in an elevator I'm going to do everything in my power to get them the fuck out. There's all sorts of different factors that could make this into a dangerous situation and if it has been ten minutes since they got stuck I'm going to assume hotel staff was notified imedietely when they realized the elevator was stuck, so maintenance is clearly taking their swwweeet ass time getting to the situation.

You're absolutely correct, but they also took it upon themselves to fix the problem which is more than what management can say they did. If I was apart of management I would have been on maintenance's asses to get to the elevator asap.

Again, it might have been well under control. Ten minutes is hardly a time to panic. Maybe they needed the time to get the proper tools, or make sure the elevator's safety brakes were working properly.
Panicking like an animal with your leg caught in a trap just makes things worse.

Yes. The family's reaction made a trivial situation potentially dangerous and a traumatic one for the girl.
If they had remained calm and collected the outcome would have been the same and the little girl would not have been scared out of her mind.

Yes. But the traumatic part is watching an entire family lose their minds & being stuck in a locked elevator with a lunatic. If the family were not crazy that kid could just as easily have been chilling out, playing paddy cake.

The short of it is they put their family in more danger than the elevator ever posed to begin with and are lucky the news and video are not covering the story of a child cut in two when the elevator resumed operating after they sabotaged the doors and tried to pull them out.

Horror movies tend to play up more elaborate or sudden failures but seriously the elevator is only a machine. I've been to demonstrations about workplace safety and why we follow procedure.
That door was idiotproof, it took a crowd and an improvised tool to pry the bottom loose. The elevator may assume that an idiotproof door can't be forced open, the system is not in technician lockout so a tech or firecrew has not opened any shaft doors with the release tool and the elevator car itself has not engaged the door opener so therefore the doors must be closed and it is safe to move the car.

I actually don't blame the family. Who know's how long he was stuck inside there. The staff seemed anything but reactionary. Fuck it, i'd pry my kid out of the 5th floor elevator if he was stuck there for anything over 10-15 minutes. I'd pull fire alarms too! Especially if I felt the staff wasn't reacting properly to the severity of the situation. However, with all of that said, this family was still straight up treeeeeesh.
EDIT: Upon second viewing, everyone is right. This family sucks. The best thing the staff could do was stay calm. I'm sorry reddit

Staff are not lift engineers. Their job here is to call and get the engineers to come and just wait. Just as you wont be asking them to fix the plumbing, they call the plumbers.
You get proper engineers to come open the doors so it doesn't malfunction and shoot up or down just as someone tries to go through. (although it seriously should happen)
pinacumbubble ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:50:33 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Acting calm is exactly how the staff should have reacted instead of escalating the situation like the family was. And we do know how long they were in there, ten minutes. They were definitely in the wrong end of story.

It was ten minutes and I believe they could hear the children inside the elevator. As long as the children weren't in immediate danger (fire, some kind of medical issue), what's the point in freaking out?
Let people who know what they're doing do their job and don't destroy other people's property. I imagine they're going to have to pay for that door which probably isn't cheap all because they didn't wait.

All these comments and no one wants to stick up the family? I get it they're "trash" they're "losers" but only bc we say they are. The video clearly showed NO ONE helping them. We're they a little nuts? Irrational ? Sure... but damn that's their brother, or son, or whatever in there... I really feel like the title is beyond misleading. I hate how everyone judges people on how they dress... if this was another family dressed up in suits and ties we'd be complaining how NO ONE helped this family.. and if they were black?! Forget about it- everyone would be bashing them for being out of control "thugs". End of the day your brother/sister is stuck in an elevator (very RARE situation) I guarantee you're a little uneasy and nervously trying to get them out ... panicking is must here IMO.

Mob mentality is a hell of thing and staying calm is the key.
There is a reason no one besides the family was doing anything as pretty much a flip of the coin different and we would have a story about someone falling to their death in the shaft or someone being sheared in two when the elevator resumed movement while they were crossing the threshold.

I know damn well if I worked there and this family was freaking out I would have tried to help them more. These workers didn't give two shits about them. And I work at a building with an elevator and in 6 years not one person has been stuck... maybe my building is super lucky

I like how most post talk about their experiences being stuck on an elevator and "calmly" waiting from 5-15 minutes. You're all grown by the comments could imagine how long that feels to a scared child? I'm not sticking up for the family I'm just saying don't try to one up a child, it's not about you.

There was a fully grown man in the elevator.
And even if it was a child... Do you know how you make a child panic even more? By overreacting. Yelling, pulling fire alarms and breaking down doors is exactly how you make a kid completely freak out and make the whole ordeal a traumatic experience.
What you do is you sit next to the elevator and talk to the kid until a technician or the fire department arrives. Call it bad luck, say someone is on their way to fix it and have a nice chat. If you're calm, your kid will calm down as well.

Probably yes. The parents freaking out in that manner might only frighten the kid and exacerbate the attack. The elevator was not stuck between floors so there wasn't much of a communication barrier so no one was in serious danger.

People getting stuck in lifts is routine and not at all dangerous. In all likely hood someone who could help, a technician or the like had been sent for, and the staff waiting by the elevator openings wouldn't have known any way to operate the lifts to help.
If you get stuck in a lift you use the emergency bell thing you'll find in any lift, if you're outside and someone is stuck you let them know to be calm help is on the way, and then you go inform the front desk. There is literally no need for panic, rudeness, or violence.
LoganLinthicum ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:22:12 on March 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)*
It is understandable to panic when your child is stuck in an elevator, but not productive. A modern elevator has no real chance of falling down the shaft. The individual trapped in the elevator was safest staying put, the family's reaction put him in incredible danger, far more chance of the car moving and cutting him in half than anything bad happening while waiting for help to arrive.
As much as it goes against what our flight or flight reflexes are screaming at us, in a great many stressful situations it is best to stay calm and quiet until qualified help can arrive. Giving into your animals instincts to make a lot of noise,move quickly and otherwise panic gets people killed.

Every single one of those inbred people are easily manipulated and incapable of thinking for themselves with any logic.
What exactly did they think that pulling fire alarms was supposed to do? SOMEHOW magically open the elevator doors?
Theyre responsible for damages to that elevator. Plain and simple. Plus jack hole who came out of the elevator can be charged for making criminal threats

Honestly, this just disgusts me. The USA's biggest export is our culture, not our just tech or our food but our movies, cultural-norms, blue-jeans and pop-cola. The rest of the world follows along in those footsteps whilst simultaneously raging against our insane foreign policy; despite how the US behaves in the geo-political world they still drink up what culture we expose to the world.
That aside, when people travel abroad, GOOD people represent the best the US has to offer: honorable servicemen, charity organizations and celebrities such as Akon (electricity for Africa) and Ashton Kutcher (combating sexual-trafficking).
THESE people represent the bottom rung of social ineptitude and frankly, the worst foot the US could put fowards... just yuk and I sincerely hope that others in other countries realize that this face is just one of the US; and not the most able-minded one at that...
Additionally, not to suggest this family did so specifically, but it's the mental-state exhibited by this group of people that (IMHO) are exactly the type of individuals that voted for Trump. The knee-jerk, I'm-more-important-than-you, hostile towards others and an ultimately our-way-is-the-best-way (it's just yuge!) attitude is exactly what Trump panders to. When the rest of the world looks at the US and see's THAT, no wonder they are disgusted..
Look well and learn to identify the weakness in our system (I live in the US); we have met the problem and they are us...
EDIT: apparently they are Canadian - OOPS! I still stand by my statements, if they WERE a US family. @Canada, sorry for exporting our trashy attitudes 'cross the border :P

Destruction of property, verbal and physical threats, use of fire alarms under a non-emergency situation, all of these things are crimes. Elevators are incredibly safe, even when they're broken down. There are so many fail-safe mechanisms in modern elevators that it's better to stay in the elevator than try to get out, even if all you have to do is pry the door open.

How do you call a family trashy for pulling out all the stops when it comes to their kids? You're fucking corrupt. They are panicking and you put the whole family on blast.

First of all, one of the "kids" was like, 20. Old enough to casually swear, anyway. It should've been his job to calm the 10 year old, but the angrier he got, the more scared the kid got.
Second, it's a fucking elevator. They're not gonna fall, they're not gonna run out of oxygen, and the lights were still on. There is literally nothing to panic about. The rest of the family just made it impossible for the elevator technician who is ON CALL 24/7 to do his job when he shows up, maybe ten minutes later. If they could've waited that long, the elevator might have even gone back into service that same night.
What if the elevator had opened up and they were half way above or below the ground? Climbing up or down could very easily result in injury or DEATH. None of them are elevator technicians, and none of them had any business prying the doors open.

Trashy people react like that... the morbidly obese woman with tattoos from her dick sucking days who was all to eager to user her verbal abuse as a segway into her unquestionable parenting was a dead give away.
I used to get stressed out by people like that. I'm a fairly technically inclined and analytical when I need to be. I see situations like this and if there is no immediate danger and people start screaming at me like that because they somehow think verbal abuse will correlate into work incentive... hah.
I've laughed in a few people's faces and just walked away. At some point these people need to be re-educated. I didn't raise them but clearly their parents failed them and unfortunately that means its up to us to help people like that change. "I was going to help, but the first thing you did was stuck your nasty fingers in my face and told me I'm a fucking idiot... I'd be doing society a great disservice if I allowed you to continue believing that this is acceptable behavior... oh look at that its my day off."

how about, you know, being calm... so like.. your kid in the elevator, doesn't hyperventilate, how about just sitting there at the door and chatting with them? you know? like people who's diet don't consist of tv dinners and welfare? putting the kid before your own stupid reactions?
the kid is safe, nothing is going to happen to them, the adults are just over blowing everything because that's their paycheck stuck in an elevator.
