I'm terrified of lifts. I'm scared of getting stuck in one and at best being stuck, bored, needing the bathroom while awaiting rescue and inconvenienced. At worst, plummeting to my death or having to climb through a tiny gap and being chopped in half. I think this is probably crazy. BUT aibu to ask if you've ever had a lift incident? They're quite safe and nothing ever really happens right?

Omg that story of the Chinese lady haunts me. 😥

I have been stuck in a lift many times, but not in the UK and over 40 years ago. It was always fine and never a big deal. They came and rescued us really quickly (in those days there were phones and/or alarms in the lifts). I have also had to climb out of a lift that was stuck between two floors. It was always fine; we were always rescued really quickly. I don't know if that helps, but given I have experienced a few of your worst case scenarios I can tell you that they were really short, really easily solved, and have never worried me.

Thankfully not - my biggest fear! I don't use lifts as I'm terrified of them. I once watched a YouTube video of the security camera footage of a man stuck in a lift over the Christmas break .. he was stuck for 2 days! It made me sick 🤢 so scary!

No ive never been stuck in a lift, but randomly on my Instagram last week, a story popped up of a lady in China who was trapped in a lift and her body was found over a month later.
It was really horrific and the story was in my head for days😥
