Trapped in an elevator

I feel like a hero!

OK, so not really, but I feel like I did something pretty cool. I parked over at Fairview Mall today on the 5th floor of the parking deck. As I neared the elevator, I could hear it dinging madly. Now, these elevators have a tendency to malfunction. In fact, they malfunctioned on me just a few days ago. I would press one of the floor buttons inside, and the car wouldn’t go anywhere. It just stayed put for a few moments before opening the door again. After having that happen a few times I just gave up and took the stairs. So, when I heard the dinging this morning, I was ready to just start heading for the stairs again. Before going though, I noticed that one set of doors was oddly ajar. I went to take a look at the crack and saw a young asian woman (probably in her 20s) trying to pry the door open unsuccessfully. “Can you help me?” I stuck my hand in and pried the doors open. There was a lot of resistance, but eventually the door gave way freeing her from the car. She thanked me and we had a good laugh at how silly the situation was.

It’s not every day you can free someone trapped in an elevator.
