Poor maintenance I guess. Had the cable snap on our service elevator last week; pretty lucky nobody got hurt. Elevator was actually out of order, but one of the staff ignored the warning signs, turned it on, and the elevator hit the ground.

I had a very robust discussion with the hotel management at the crew hotel recently, after I was stuck inside for only a short time.

The control panel had been levered off the wall, and simply hung back in place, none of the buttons worked on the panel inside the lift, including the call button, and the electrics were a bit flaky.

It turned out that the maintenance staff knew, as this was the state of the lift following its service the previous day by an external company. But no one had disabled the lift. Nobody took responsibility, although everyone from the janitor to the laundry assistant claimed to be in charge. 45minutes later, they still weren’t convinced, because some twat kept pressing the button on the outside, which opened the doors fine.

Nigeria! Fucktards everywhere.
