This is a good endorsement!
It's kind of crazy how hard it was for him to get out of there though; I would have expected his flatmate to take care of it straight away.
- xcambar 5y agoI wouldn't blame the flatmate. No one should be expected to be available on the spot. There are a million reasons for them not to be available.
- canadev 5y agoI suppose that is likely true. I just put myself in the poster's situation and started breathing real shallow, haha.
- xcambar 5y agoFair enough! I can as well easily picture myself thinking differently when locked in a lift, compared to sitting in the comfort of my couch, commenting on HN :D
- bennyp101 5y agoWithout sounding like a dick … I totally would have let one of my old flat mates chill for a bit! No immediate danger there, and potentially kinda funny, but yea every situation is different. The more worrying thing is the alarms button seemingly does nothing
- queuebert 5y agoI don't think there is a way to say that without sounding like a dick.
- Smithalicious 5y agoI would go as far as to say that it's awfully hard not to sound like a dick when you are, in fact, a dick.
- weimerica 5y agoIt’s all in the eye of the beholder. I once had a friend trick me into running barefoot through a few cactus patches. We’re still great friends to this day.
- helsontaveras18 5y agoDid you forget to add /s to that?
- weimerica 5y agoNo.
- xcambar 5y agoLowering the risk of a situation, ignoring the potential panic of your "friend", all of it for some laugh... Sure sounds like a solid example of being a dick. Note that I'm doing evidence-based work and hypothesis, in no way am I being judgemental. We're on HN, after all ;)
- dwighttk 5y agoWith all due respect… you sound like a dick
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoI used to have a friend who, whenever he was going to say something incredibly rude to people, would preface his remarks with the statement "I don't mean to be rude but..."
- Cerium 5y ago"I'm not ___ but ___" is a classic. "I'm not a racist but [something racist will soon leave my mouth]"
- iJohnDoe 5y agoHow did you conclude there is no immediate danger? There is something obviously wrong with the elevator. What if it plummeted down and someone died? Even a couple of floors can turn out badly.
