Have you ever been stuck in an elevator?

Today was my first day of school.  I went from grammar class to the computer lab, which is in another building and the transition wasn't an easy one.  The elevator at the time was full, however one more student decided to get in.  Next thing I know we got stuck in the elevator, so we decided to problem solve and press the bell to get security's attention.  After we pressed the bell the elevator went down vastly before we could realize what was going on.  The student who came in at the last minute screamed at the top of her lungs; which frightened us to death.  It was the scariest 10 minutes of my life.  Once the elevator opened I was overjoyed to get out and glad to take the stairs.  My colleagues and I were laughing hysterically, because we couldn't believe we actually got stuck in an elevator.
