What is the most embarrassing or note worthy thing that ever happend to you in an elevator?

Mines mortifying:

I was at the Merriot Hotel in Time Square with my bf after a hearty evening of toting back shots at the local pub. I was smashed. We got into the elevator and on the very next floor enters no other than Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City (Miranda). I am a HUGE fan of hers. So of course...I am so overwhelmed with emotion and admiration that I burst into tears.

VERY smooth.

    What happened next? Did she see you crying?

      Lol...I tend to black out when I'm super smashed. According to my boyfriend she looked like she felt a little awkward even though I didn't say anything to her directly. Eventually she and her wife got off the elevator and D took me to the front desk where the matridee gave me an Evian and a box of tissues.

      At least you didn't try talking to her while crying in some "I love you, man" kinda moment. I'm sure it's not the weirdest thing she's encountered in New York, Lotus.

      I'd say you're pretty well in the clear.

    The elevator was full one day when I worked a corporate job years ago and someone of course cut the cheese and I immediately pressed the next floor to get off but the elevator stalled and we were trapped in it for over 5 minutes. I had to endure the stench and it was unbearable.

    As soon as the elevator opened the door, I literally threw myself out onto the floor to gasp for air.
    It was the most smelliest, nastiest, rauchiest fart ever in the history of farts. It got all in my clothes
    and hair and I had to go home to take a shower after that, lay down and take a midol

      Good story, Jeunelle, but I'm still disappointed.

      Was expecting more of a Last Tango in Paris kinda thing from you....

      drjay1966....that's one episode. The next one is when I met Yul Brenner in a hotel in New York City. He was such a gentleman and asked me what floor I wanted to go to and actually pressed the button for me and smiled. He was beautiful and I thanked him and we were two civilized people on earth for a day. Yul Brenner was sexy and I always pictured him and me dancing with him getting lost under my dress like in that movie "the King and I".
      In real life he is short in height, not a very tall man but his presence was tall and regal.
      No I did not ask for his autograph to harrass and bother the man, just being there with him
      for a few minutes was good enough for me.

      LMAO!!!! Thats hilarious that you had to take a midol...omg. Why do people wait until they are in elevators to fart?? I keep mines lady-like and fart while I walk down the street. No one hears it, no one smells it and it breezes right by as I walk.

      @lotusb....Exactly I do the same thing, there is no need to kill all life on the planet.

    LMAO, I totally thought ths story was gonna take a different route. Burst into tears too funny.

    Fortunately for me you didn't ask about parking lot stories now that would have been embarassig but the worse thing to get caught doing in an elevator was pretty tame I was adjusting my bra straps...of course I was underneath my shirt at the time but hey boobs pretty much all look the same.

      LOL!!! Dang girl, I would be pretty mortified over that one too.

      But, uh...yea, your gonna have to tell me the parking lot story.

    My bro & I were in an elevator at the Continental hotel at Disney World when we were 6, going downstairs to have breakfast. The elevator stuck between floors. Unfortunately at the time I had the mistaken notion that stuck elevators always ended up with the cable snapping & the car plummeting down the shaft (not to mention that I was somewhat claustrophobic at that age,) so needless to say, I completely freaked out. Of course, this made my brother start laughing at me & jumping up & down as hard as he could, which freaked me out even more. Eventually they discovered our plight, pried the doors open & got us out, but I wouldn't go into an elevator for years after that.

      LGramlich...OMG what a rotten thing to do to you.
      I ran into someone who was claustrophobic on the trains and she couldn't wait for the door
      to open to let her out, I felt so sorry for her, she looked like a caged lion about to go nuts.

      So far I've never been stuck in an elevator, but I'd totally flip out I'm so claustrophobic. I'd probably fart and pee all over myself.

    Jeunelle I am majorly jealous of your encounter with Yul Brenner! As a little girl I remember I feigned feeling ill when my brother and sister were babysitting me because I knew the King and I was on TV and I was desperate to watch it and I fell madly in love with Yul.

    As for you Lotusb, that is embarassing! I mean I managed to hold it together pretty well when I spotted Daniel Craig at breakfast in my hotel. Spent the rest of the day riding the lift in case he got in tho! Can't say I wouldn't have been a quivering mess then...

    My only lift encounter was when I was with a group of girls and I said 'the last person I would want to get stuck in a lift with is that creepy Tony bloke' and low and behold the lift stopped and in he got. We were crying with laughter.
