Once, I dropped my keys down an elevator shaft. It all happened so quickly. My keys were in my hand, then gone. Down the one inch space between the floor and the elevator door. I thought they were lost forever. Turns out, they have "get stuff from elevator shafts" guys. Except the regular guy was out.

His replacement asked me to hold open the doors while he rescued my keys from the cavernous death hole that lies at the bottom of every elevator shaft.

"Me?!" I thought, "I can't even hold my damn keys, you really want your life in my hands?" I truly believed I was going to watch a man be crushed to death, all because I couldn't hold on to my keys. He wasn't. But it was stressful. And I felt like a dick. I thought that was one of the worst things that could happen with elevators (other than actually dying, obviously).

Turns out I was wrong. The worst thing is getting stuck in an elevator with this guy.

(Language NSFW. As you might have guessed.)

I get freaking out if you're stuck in an elevator. But this guy is super aggressive. And also wearing a fedora.

But he sings Metallica? Wait, that's to threaten a security guard.

Then there's the non-stop pushing of the alarm bell. Oh, and then then he starts singing "Rump Shaker" but changes the lyrics to "All I wanna do is a zoom zoom and boom boom and BREAK HIS FACE all I wanna do is a zoom zoom and BREAK HIS NECK."

Anyway, YouTube user, Nik Nerv, who filmed this video (and side note, might be the calmest person on the planet) totally has a "worst elevator story" that trumps mine.
