Getting stuck in an elevator is a nightmare for residents of multi-storey buildings. Tales about how someone spent a day, a night there, met the New Year, met his future wife, are passed from mouth to mouth. And we know a lot of anecdotes on this topic. But what if on a normal workday, it was you, and not George Clooney, who fell victim to a confined space? Well, now you will have your own story on this popular topic, which you can show off at the right time.
Instructions
Step 1
Stuck in an elevator - don't panic. Call for help. The surest way is to press the dispatcher communication button. Report the situation and follow the directions. If the button is not working or no one is responding, grab the residents' attention with loud shouts and calls for help. But calling relatives from the elevator is problematic. Cellular communication in elevators, as a rule, does not catch.
Step 2
Informed about your situation - make yourself as comfortable as possible and wait. Sit on the floor, even if it's dirty. A comfortable position can calm you down and help you relax. And the clothes can be washed. The lifters arrive relatively quickly, within a few hours. The newspaper articles that pop up in my memory about people who have been sitting in four walls between floors for a day are more the exception than the rule.
Step 3
Never try to get out on your own. Despite the fact that it is possible to do this by opening the internal and external doors. Internal doors can be opened easily. The external ones are a little trickier. It is necessary to bend the top rollers. And yet the risk is too great. First, due to a malfunction, the elevator can start moving and injure a person. Secondly, there is a high probability of falling into the mine. Do not try to get out on your own, even if the elevator is stuck very close to the floor.
Step 4
If you cannot change the situation, change your attitude towards it. If you have the Internet, a laptop, a tablet, that's not bad. Book - when else will you find time to read? There is nothing - it was fate that sent you a chance to think about your life situation in a calm place. And if you are not alone in the elevator, meet your friend in misfortune. And pass the time, and new acquaintances will appear. After all, anyone can be a companion in the elevator - from the director of the dairy to your future wife. And maybe here it is, a turning point in your personal life or career.
