Got called out for a stuck car in a high rise downtown last winter

It was the old First National building on 5th, car 4 was stuck between floors 12 and 13 with a door lock fault. I had to climb down the pit to manually release the brake and inch it to the landing, all while the building manager was breathing down my neck about tenant complaints. What's the most stressful 'between floors' call you've ever had to run?

Honestly that sounds like a pretty standard Tuesday. The worst I ever had was a full elevator with a pregnant lady and a panic attack chain reaction on a 95 degree day. Took 45 minutes for fire to cut us out and the building AC was broken. Your call sounds like a quiet day in the pit to me.

Ever notice how @felix_thomas73 always has it worse?

Gotta disagree on this one... sometimes people just need to vent without it being a competition. Felix's story is wild, but bad days come in all shapes and sizes. Comparing them just makes everyone feel worse.
