You're in an elevator and suddenly--it stops. You look to your left, and you feel dread spread through your entire being. The last person you would ever want to be stuck in an elevator with is standing there. Who is it and why do you feel this way? (Get descriptive.) (And respond as a comment.)

When the elevator stops and I look over I see my sister. Now granted, I love my sister, but when it comes to being in sticky situations she is the worst person to be around. Her version of "freaking out" consists of asking a million and one questions she knows I can't answer and do the one thing your not supposed to do in situations like that, panic. She will scream, yell, cry instead of remaining calm, or at least trying too. No matter the amount of time we spend stuck in the elevator, it is a given guarantee with her that the impossible questions will never end and most likely will result in either me panicking, or wanting to rip my hair out. I think it would be safe to say being stuck with her in a tight, enclosed space with an air of panic, for any amount of time would be a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWell in this situation I wouldnt wanna be stuck with my sister. She is very impatient and if she has to wait for anything she gets really mad and annoying. So id say getting stuck in an elevator with her would just kind of ruin my day because all she would be doing is complaining and after a while that would get annoying. SO yea, id have to go with being stuck with my sister in an elevator would pretty much suck.
ReplyDeleteI would hate to be stuck on the elevator with a girl of a low maturity level. Girls have tendencies to freak out in low risk situations. Such as this girl on my floor yesterday came banging on my door yesterday to come kill a bug in her room that was the size of a nickel, at best. Not that I have anything personal against this girl but it was very annoying when she came screaming my name like she was being murdered. Girls like this are very annoying, and when the other party is freaking out it is hard for all to stay calm. That is why I would hate to be stuck on an elevator with a girl of a low maturity level.
ReplyDeleteI believe the worst case scenario would to be stuck in an elevator with a pregnant mother who is close to having a baby. Not even would she be yelling for someone to come help us out, but she would be talking about her baby the whole time. I would totally freak out on her after a while. And god forbid she would have that baby in the elevator, I think i would probably pass out if i had to deliver that child. And even if help came, it would take forever to get her out because they would have to take great care of her first and then get to me.
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck in an Elevator with Barack Obama, I would most likely just kill myself. I find myself very well rounded when it comes to politics and I do not in ANYWAY agree with the policies of this president. Most of the Obama administration describes themselves as "progressives", progressives are people that want to bankrupt the nation so the common people will have to solely rely on the government for all their needs. Hints why he has already put more debt on this nation in 1 year in office than GW did in ALL 4 YEARS. Progressivism would take away capitalism as we know it and after all this is what America was founded on. So, I would let Obama know of the horrible job he has done in the 2 years he has been in office. I miss W!
ReplyDeleteThe person i am stuck with in the elevator is a guy from my high school. I do not want to be stuck in the elevator with him because he is a stalker and a very weird person. He will follow you everywhere. If you try to ignore him, he will still talk to you until you leave for your class or go somewhere else. If you don't do anything, he will follow you, but if you tell some other guys that you are friends with they will help get him away. The only way to get him to stay way from you is if you threat him. This is why i really do not want to be stuck with him in an elevator.
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck in an elevator, the last person I would want to be stuck with is President Obama. I feel that me and him would disagree on just about every topic there is to talk about. I do not follow politics at all but with this recent election, I paid a little more attention than ever before. I feel that he makes lots of promises and has yet to keep and that just rubs me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteSo far Obama has made an attempt to help fix the problems in the United States but I feel that me and him would argue all day in the elevator, because I feel that he has done things the wrong ways and has spent more time traveling with or without his family, taking care of unnecessary business. I think that, I would find a way out of the elevator faster then any of his secret service agents could for him because I dislike him that much.
The last person I would want to be stuck in an elevator with would have to be Miley Cyrus. I truly do not like Miley Cyrus because I find her voice extremely annoying and I believe she became famous through her father. Miley would probably start singing one of her obnoxious songs the whole time sounding as if she has a nasty cold. In my opinion she does not deserve to be famous because there are so many amazing singers and performers who are so much better then her and not tone deaf.
ReplyDeletethe person i would least want to be stuck in an elevator with is a hipster. There are many of these types of people found all over the Ohio University campus. They can often be spotted by the way the dress. A typical outfit for a hipster is a pair of skin tight denim black cut off pants at about the knee, a studded belt, a t-shirt with a band on it that screams more than they sing, and of course their hair will be disheveled in such a way that you know it was done on purpose. These people may come off as not caring, but in all reality care more than your average college student. The reason being stuck in an elevator with them would be bad is because they would not offer any relief or meaningful conversation. Rather they would probably sit there the whole time and text, or tweet about how unique it is that they got stuck in an elevator. Also assuming you were stuck in this elevator for a good amount of time, you would be subject to their taste in music. Which even if you didn't want to hear it, they would play it for you just to show how underground the bands they like are. All of these reasons show that a hipster is one of the worst people I could be stuck in an elevator with.
ReplyDeleteAs i read this prompt i tried thinking of some celebrity that annoys me and who i couldn't stand to be with any longer then a couple minutes. Then i thought of Miranda Cosgrove. She has her own show on Nickalodeon called "ICarly." I can't stand watching this show because every joke made in this show is not funny...at all. She has the most awkward body movements and i don't even think i could hold a conversation with her. One of my pet peeves is when you're trying to have a conversation with someone and they are fidgety and it makes you feel weird talking to them no matter how confident you are with yourself. She also has a song on the radio called something like, "when I'm kissing you." I think back at home I heard this song on the radio at least 5 times a day which also lead to me being so annoyed of her. Rereading this i sound really mean, but I guess it shows how much i really would not like to be stuck in an elevator with Miranda Cosgrove.
ReplyDeleteIf I were ever stuck in an elevator, I would hope that President McDavis would not be in there with me. I am claustrophobic and I immensely dislike situations where I am stressed and I get stuck with someone who wants to interview me or talk shop. I have been with President McDavis on numerous occasions and have had to staff him at VIP events as well.... I can't imagine wanting to jump out of my skin from being stuck in a cramped, hot elevator and having to recite my resume or discuss my long term career goals. Just let me have my nervous breakdown all by myself!
ReplyDeleteThe last person I would ever want to be stuck in an elevator with would be a someone who does not speak English because we would not be able to understand each other. It would be so frustrating, and as the temperature climbs in the elevator, frustration increases. We would be yelling at each other in frustration of not knowing what the other is saying, instead of trying to find a a way to get out or call for help. I can picture them screaming at me because I cannot understand what they are trying to say.
ReplyDeleteIf standing in an elevator, the last person that I would ever want to be with would be Justin Beiber. For anyone who does not know, Justin Beiber is a singer that caters to "teeny boppers." I know this may seem silly but I cannot stand him. He drives me insane! He is about 16 years old and the only thing he sings about are all the girls he has fallen in love with. I seriously doubt at 16 years old, he has fallen in love with anyone.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I cannot stand Justin, I do understand why he is such a heart throb. He has a baby face which many girls fall head over heals for, he can sing(even though I think he sounds like a girl), and he has a cute boy charm that attracts girls from 11 to 15 years of age. But with all of these things in mind, if I was in an elevator with him, I would just want to die!
I mean, what would he do? Maybe, belt out a few music notes to try to look cool. Either way, I don't think he is cool. When did the music industry lower its standards to this? What ever happened to the people who actually have talent? If someone knows please tell me, because I am sick of these wannabe "teeny boppers" like Justin Beiber.
Being in a moving elevator and it suddenly stops, you feel your heart drop and you would just want to get out of there. Turning to the person next to me I see the last person I would ever want to be stuck in an elevator with. My 11th grade spanish teacher. I was never great at spanish, but this particular teacher made me not like spanish even more. She never spoke in english ever just spanish all the time. If anyone had a question she usually would never answer it and getting help after class was not good either. Asking her a question in english she would just answer in spanish and it would get really irritating because I really needed to understand the material rather than listen to it. Being trapped in an elevator with her would be something I would rather not want to ever experience. All she would do is talk in spanish and I wouldn't understand a word she would be saying. She also liked to take her anger out on random students during class so she would probably start complaining in the elevator.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be stuck in an elevator with the person that I despise the most, that person would be Angelina Jolie. I just feel as though she is such a terrible actress and plays the same role in almost every movie she is cast in. Also, I dislike the fact that she stole Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston. She has no regard for anyone other than herself, and even though she adopts children from other countries, she has admitted that she loves her adopted children more than the children that she gave birth to. She said she loved her adopted children more because they have experienced tragedies, while her actual children have not. But most likely, since she adopted these children when they were still very young, they most likely will not remember any of the experiences that they went through in that country, and will grow up in the same way and have most of the same experiences as Jolie's actual children will. I do not think that any mother should choose a favorite child, or at least not announce it to the public. I think that Angelina Jolie is just overall a selfish and inconsiderate person, and therefore if I were to be stuck with her in an elevator, I am not quite sure if I would be able to survive.
ReplyDeleteMuch to my horror, I'm stuck on a elevator with my mother-in-law. I break out my ipod, hoping music will help pass the time or at least drown out her constant nagging. No luck, batteries are dead. After ten minutes of listening to every reason I'm an unfit husband or something, I begin desperately looking around what could very possibly be my tomb. Escape is not a possibility. Damnit. Maybe a quick blast from the fire extinguisher would silence her, but in this confined space oxygen is a valuable resource. Oh well. Remove pin; check. Aim; her mouth is in my sights. Squeeze. A thick white powder fills the elevator.. to be continued
ReplyDeleteAs I turn to see who is sharing this horrific moment with me my heart seems to just drop. standing there just a few feet from my own is T-Pain. much to my regret he has also come prepared with his handy dandy auto tuner. I'm thinking to myself somebody shoot me now, i can't even talk to the guy because his reply is going to be loud, obnoxious, and no offense to the guy but full of bad grammar... "Gonna buy you a drank", you try and have a conversation with that. but eventually I trick myself into thinking that its not all that bad, and maybe we can find some way out of here if we work together. After all, its been an hour already and there doesn't seem to be any help coming yet. so i turn from my position to face him and i ask him if anything like this has ever happened before. big mistake, his reply was something along the lines of "im gonnna singgg uss uppp upp and awayyyayaya! outta this bittchh, cuz im the barrr-tenderrr! OOOOH OHH!"
ReplyDeleteThat was all it took. I said "good luck with that" then proceeded to take out my bottle of prescription strength sleeping pills and downed as much as possible. I woke up about a week later to a T-Pain song on the radio. fml
If I were stuck in an elevator i would not want to be stuck in it with the guy from 900 hundred pound dad. I would not want to be stuck in this elevator with him because he is morbidly obese. I would not have any room because he would probably take up every single space in the elevator. Also, since he is 900 hundred pounds he would most likely smell bad and would not be too clean. Also, if we were stuck in the this elevator i would imagine someone that big would be hungry pretty often and i would not want to lose any of my arms or legs. This would be horrible and this is who i would not want to be alone in an elevator with this man.
