I'm still trembling in fear and scared shitless. My brain is scattered and all I can think about were the images that were seared into my brain as I thought I was going to die.

I was delivering recepits to rooms at a hotel. I work security and I was filling in for someone else. I was on the 4th floor and pushed the button for the 5th floor in the elevator. As soon as the door closed, the elevator shook very violently like the cables had just been cut. I screamed out in horror as I felt like I was plummeting 4 stories to my certain death. As that was happening, images began burning into my eyes like my death and my family. I screamed more because I wanted to live. I wanted to see my baby boy again. The night auditor heard my screams and yells for help. His response "Is that you yelling like a jackass? Are you fucking retarded?" The elevator never moved a floor but the way it jerked and shooked had me fooled. I can't take loud banging noises or anything like that. I'm weirded out like something is following me. One of my employees banged on the security window to let him in and I couldn't contain myself...I yelled and screamed again. GAF...I'm severely scared...what should I do?

Sit down and have a nice cup of tea.

What a douche.

 

[commedieu]

Sorry. You've gotta give up that avatar.

Like now.

edit; Maybe try meditation though..? Sorry to hear that it freaked you out this bad.

Still though.. the avatar.

 

[Dereck]

What a douche.

My first thoughts.

 

[Jader7777]

Eat cement and harden up?

 

[blainethemono]

that sucks man, I hate elevators. I got stuck in an elevator with my mom when I was really little and i've been claustrophobic ever since. I avoid elevators whenever I can

no you didn't, then. correct title is "I tought I almost died but nothing actually happened". Also, elevators have brakes that kick in automatically when the cable is severed (not that it can actually happen so easily). take the day off, chill in the sun, relax and don't worry about it nex time you enter an elevator.

 

[Danneee]

Well nothing happened. Just let it go.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Switch to decaf.

 

[Radec]

"GAF I thought I almost died tonight..."

fixed.

 

[MIMIC]

As soon as I read that you were OK (and that nothing actually happened), I chuckled.

You should, too

 

[Major_Lazer]

Yeh be happy you are alive but saying you almost died is a bit over the top.

 

[Souless_PJ]

Lol at the thread title and then the actual story.

 

[Salsa]

no you didnt

but seek help if you're easily put in this kind of situation

 

[Dark Knyght]

So basically, you acted like Undercover Brother when he was entering the Brotherhood for the first time.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Reminds me of Ross and the truck backfiring. Sorry you felt that much fear OP, but one day you should, and hopefully will look back on that and laugh.

 

[Doctor West]

That's good that you were never in any real danger, but it sounds like you need to take it easy. Freaking out like that could get you in trouble if a real dangerous situation ever presented itself. Glad you're okay though.

 

[Lord Snow]

I'm glad you survived, OP

 

[Arjen]

Reminds me of Ross and the truck backfiring. Sorry you felt that much fear OP, but one day you should, and hopefully will look back on that and laugh.

Heh, same thing i thought of.
Do you have a new found appreciation for life now OP?

 

[speedpop]

You should have faced death like a Roman and spat in its face.

 

[Router]

I went into cardiac arrest several weeks ago. I "almost" died.

Nothing happened to you (and hey, I am glad you are alive). Have a drink and stop being a pussy.

 

[ChackanKun]

You could always have some therapy, just to avoid any kind of long term trauma.

Such a story topper...

 

[Broder Salsa]

The title and the actual story.

 

[EviLore]

:lol

 

[Mr. F]

"Not today."

and on that bombshell..

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Should security personnel panic like that?

 

[BankaiZaraki]

Well I do have the day off. Thanks for the support. Also I'll never give up that avatar! I wish I was James Bond though :/

 

[itsgreen]

What a douche.

Not quite as much when you account for the fact that the elevator didn't really drop 4 stories down...

But still...

I'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud.

Given my state of mind for 20 seconds or so I completely forgot I was a security officer. I was reacting like any normal person would if they were in fear for their life.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Thread title disappoints. On a similar note, I almost died tonight. The car I was in was moving down the road.

Thank the Sweet Baby Jesus before you sleep tonight.

 

[Clydefrog]

There's a troll elevator at my work. It hangs at every stop for a good 5-8 seconds. People think "i'm fucking stuck" for that split second. It's pretty funny.

 

[Übermatik]

You sound unstable. Smoke a blunt.

Also, get help.

 

[Cindres]

This is like that episode of Friends where Ross thinks he had a near death experience and it was just a car backfiring.

Only in this case it's the thread...

 

[commedieu]

Understood. We all get scared sometimes.

 

[kruis]

I had a colleague once who was afraid of elevators. So much fun we had when we entered an elevator and started fooling about, making jokes and stomping on the floor with our feet while he broke out in a cold sweat. Good times!

 

[cacophony]

take the stairs

 

[Escape Goat]

Make sure to make the story sound dangerous when you tell it at parties.

You're lucky you didn't plunge to your death like the op did

 

[BankaiZaraki]

I think I will today. I havent smoked in a while. I'm thinking of giving a complaint about him. He also called me an asshole earlier in the night and told me I was a waste of space and I didnt know how to do my job even though I work at two other hotels. So I won't ever be back there which is a good thing.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

I'm weirded out like something is following me.

It's death. He'll make another attempt tonight.

 

[BankaiZaraki]

Understood. We all get scared sometimes.

Lmao honestly that was face for about a minute.

 

[Fusebox]

"GAF I was in no danger of dying tonight..."

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud.

Me too I laughed pretty loud lol!

 

[Despera]

I had way worse experiences, and even then I never thought much of it.

chillax, OP. :lol

Edit: But seriously, OP. Beware cuz death is probably gonna try again soon. You better be alert at all times.

Spoiler

:lol :lol
