Welp....I dropped my keys down an elevator shaft

Oh no!!! Hope you can recover them quickly!!

OH No! why can't shit like that happen when you are on a beach somewhere instead of at work?? Do you have extra keys at home?

The building manager is going to love me when he gets in. He's going to have to call someone to stop the elevator and retrieve them. lololol

Awe man that stinks! I hope they have no trouble getting them back for you. On the plus side, this is a great story to tell in the future and I'm sure you will be able to laugh about it for years to come!

DUPLICATE

Oh, dear.

That's awful! hope the rest of your day goes better!

Sure, it's annoying, but come on guys, you gotta admit this is pretty hilarious. lol I get to start the poor building manager's day with "Say, John, I know you're really excited about how you're going to be off on vacation, but Imma gonna need you to call a company and scramble to find a worker who can get my keys."

And the chances of that happening two days before Christmas? Probably pretty slim, so FH's probably going to have to bring me my keys until after the holidays lol.

You have the worst luck Janeen lol.

Sure, but Emma.....this type of idiocy is a skill sometimes.

I did the same thing with my cell phone a few years ago! It teetered on the crack and just as I reached for it, it fell. Building management was able to recover it, and much to my surprise, there wasn't a scratch on it (from 7 floors up!). Obviously, this was prior to my iPhone. Haha!

Oh gosh. That's awful.

@FutureMrsS - Lol. Must have been a Nokia!

I have this fear every day when I get on the elevator! So sorry it happened to you! Good luck getting them back!

Janeen! That was a real Monday move!!

LOL @Janeen! That's....some skill, girl.

@FMS, Genny, had to be Nokia!

This has happened to me on a cruise. Except it was my room key I had to camp next to the bar the rest of the evening

I left my work keys at home once. Had to get a spare from security. Well I usually keep mine on a stretchy spring type thing and keep it hooked into my belt loop. The key security gave me was just a key and I was so scared I would lose it. Soooo I get into the elevator, turn my key in and as I'm pulling it out of the thing I get all fumbly and drop it DIRECTLY down the gap by the door as it is closing. When I got to the first floor I was still panicking and the door opened and closed because I was in there not thinking that when the door closed again, I was stuck in there until someone else had to use the elevator. I cried and thought I would die in that elevator at work and that would be the last anyone heard of me. Thankfully, it was maybe 1.5 minutes until someone came to use it.

I hate elevators

Well, at least it wasn't an umbrella. In college, my roommate managed to drop my (not small) umbrella down the elevator shaft. It's not that big of a space but she managed to do it.

My friend did this with her phone when we were in Puerto Rico a few years back. Screen was smashed but she got it back! All you can do is laugh
