Ever been trapped in an elevator? How about for 41 hours?
The New Yorker: The longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999. ... 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.

Never say "I'll be right back."

Oh, and you can skip over most of the background elevator filler stuff. Unless you love elevators. I'm looking at you, Woodsie.

Hey, don't hate the vertical-transportation-industry player, hate the vertical-transportation-industry game.
