    This happened to my wife. Her department was moving into a building that was being renovated and she rode up in an elevator with 2 elevator repair guys. The elevator stopped between floors and they had to use their cellphones to call their office and have another repair tech sent over to get the elevator moving again.

    Not very good repairmen when they forgot the trapdoor on top.

    Those guys are pretty fat for being in there for 10 years. Either they packed awesome lunches or….

    Maybe John needed a break and used an old comic?

    The business locations that I have come across of elevator companies have all been one-story buildings.

    Should we tell them about the emergency call button?

    I guess nobody thought to bring the tech manual, that describes the control panel and it’s various functions.

    This reminds me of a truly goofy movie from several years ago. The name was “Being John Malkovich” It started with the character going for a job interview in an office building. When he stepped into the elevator he noticed that the floor he needed get off on was was numbered something like 7 1/2. When he got to the floor the door only partially opened and floor was half way up the entrance so he had to heft himself up and crawl out on the floor and the room and the ceiling was only about 4feet from the floor and all the people were walking around stooped over and legs in a partial squat. The movie got nuttier from that point on.
