Yes.. Great question , never to be forgotten experience.
Happened twice , once Caulfield race course Victoria Australia , only 3 levels high , should have taken the stairs , lift FULL after function , drinking lots of wine , 3 .5 hours , races over , as you can imagine ALL needed toilet , but we made it eventually , the call phone diverted to Melbourne CBD , so no technician , most others had left races. One guy really freaking out , but to a degree safety in numbers , we got down to car park at 12.30 am , dam awkward.
2 nd Phuket Thailand 7 floor resort , just me , no phone in lift , no phone in hand , as often happens MAJOR BLACKOUT , this was frightening , no air , hot climate , completely dark , only 15 mins , felt like hours , just feeling like a massive falling ( lift going down fast ) felt like its just going to crash , then it slows , can hear voices " madai madai " ( cannot ) the door oppened just a fraction , I managed to get a hand in , then enough room for my foot , with the guys pulling from the outside , finally and I ran out like though a football banner.
Have had a fear of every lift , ever since , very frightening , the second one , despite not much time was possibly of more concern , 3 rd world country , although very modern lift. Remember this story Ole reader , next time you jump in :)

I've never been stuck in one, but I once climbed down several stories inside of an elevator shaft to get a freight elevator unstuck. That was about 45 years ago.
I was completely alone, there was no one else in the entire 10 story building, and there was no one who knew what I was doing at the time.
I was successful, and now I have a story to tell on occasion, like now.
I was pretty proud of myself. I guess I still am.

Yes, when I was a kid. It broke down while I was inside. I forgot where it was though. It was in some old building leading to a large basement filled with cars. The memory is a bit fuzzy but I used the emergency alarm and people got me out. I had to wait inside there though for over an hour. It was incredibly boring since I didn't even have any video games or anything. My parents also freaked.
Knock on wood I haven’t got stuck on a regular elevator however I did get stuck on a freight elevator about eighteen years ago. Good thing I had a two way radio on me & I was able to call building maintenance. Management laughed at me & I told them go ahead & laugh I’m on overtime so take your time.
yep even had sex in a broke down elevator in high school once
Only the elevator of life.
