I’ve been trapped in an elevator three times- once at work, when 7 months pregnant, once in a parking garage, and once within the last 12 months, at work. In the first instance, it was between the 11th and 12th floors, the men on the elevator were able to pry the doors open, and we climbed out- the floor was about waist-high, and scrambling out in a dress with a huge belly was not easy. I walked the 15 floors up and down to my office for the rest of my pregnancy. The parking garage, all the power went out, and the cell phone didn’t work, I couldn’t find the emergency phone on the wall. It was on the lower level, so at least I felt safe, that it wouldn’t fall. I kept beating on the door and yelling, and after about an hour, the security guard found me. I got free parking for 6 months. The last time was scary because it was on the express elevator that didn’t stop between the 2nd and 16th floors. I got on at 16 to go up a few floors, and when the doors shut the elevator dropped about 8 inches and then stopped. The power didn’t go out. I found the phone, called security, and they had me out in about 5 minutes.
