Have you ever had an elevator incident?

I was riding the elevator at work and it started making these weird noises and then accelerated and started jumping up and down quickly. It would stop and the doors would open but I was in-between floors with no way out. I rang the emergency bell and this went on for about 10 minutes. The HR lady at work heard me yelling out for help. Eventually it stopped and opened on my floor and I jumped out. This happened a year ago. I work on the 5th floor of a building and I will not take that elevator again. I thought of this today they are sending messages now to everyone don't use the elevator it's not safe it needs to be worked on. Now every time I get in an elevator I think of that incident. Could have been a lot worse.

@Bexsy Yes it was unreal. I thought I am going to die in this thing. It's not an old building either, just I guess a crappy build.
@SlippingAway my work elevators crapped out couple years ago. I take stairs mostly now unless carrying a lot of things. company opted out the other fixes that were suggested, so I don't trust it.

I don't blame you, so glad it turned out ok though
