Elevator Technician Takes Revenge On Entitled Woman


Man, oh, man, this woman sounds like a handful. She was repeatedly told by the elevator technician that his job would take some time, and that the elevator would be back up and running in an hour or so. Well, she ignored that crucial information, and proceeded to find herself on board a bit of a rollercoaster. Ultimately, it would seem that she got the wakeup call she needed, and was never in harm's way.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/PuffMaNOwYeah • 1y + Join 6. I need that elevator NOW! Originally posted on O r/entitledpeople Posted here on popular demand. Edit: thanks for the gold, u/july2thrillerjunkie and 5!!! unknown strangers! So I'm an elevator technician. When they break, I'm the one who fixes them. When parts wear out, I replace them. You get it.

Text - The other day I was on a job replacing a worn out emergency light. Back in the day it was a habit to use the battery of the emergency light to power the elevator's siren system. Modern emergency lights have different voltages being LED, so I can't use the old way of connecting everything. So, I have to wire everything up from scratch, including new battery and siren. No big deal, but it takes a little longer to complete the task. Note that this is a 3 stop elevator. (Ground floor, 1st and

Text - EW: how am I supposed to get my groceries upstairs? Me: Getting annoyed, I look at her bag, and give her the "are you fucking kidding me" look D: mom, seriously, take the stairs, it's 2 floors. (Clearly annoyed) EW: NO! I pay for this elevator, and I need it now! D: "sigh" l'm going up. (And takes the stairs) EW: how long is this going to take? Me: like I said, ma'am, about an hour. The woman then sits her ass down on a bench in the hallway waiting for me to finish. Reall... Oh well, I do

Text - EW: you done yet? Me: no, ma'am, I sill have to wire things up on top of the elevator. EW: no, I can see you're done, you're packing your things! Me: yes, I have to take my bag 1 floor up so I can start on the wiring. EW: can't I use it now? Me: no ma'am, you can't, there's exposed wiring up there, if you use it now you can cause a short and you will get stuck. It's really not safe. EW: FINE! And she sits back down on the bench, seriously pissed off. I take my bag and make my way upstairs

Text - on the ground floor close, and sure enough, EW went into the elevator and tried to take it upstairs. Hell no, I wasn't having that. I take my emergency key and as soon as the elevator started moving I open the lock, cutting the safety chain, and the elevator comes to a sudden stop. This scared the shit out of her and she screams! I open the door and in my most fake surprised voice I yell "OH NO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" while calmly pressing the emergency stop on top of the elevator. Yep, thi

Text - Me: l'll be right back, I have to go to the engine room to see if I can get it working again. I close the door, and make my way up. On the second floor, the daughter came out of the apartment because of the yelling of her mother. I quickly explained what happened. D: (raising her voice) oh no! Please get her out of there! But then she comes closer and whispers to me: "don't hurry, make her suffer" (that's my kind of girl!) Music to my ears! I smile, give her a thumbs up, and make my way u

Text - EW (white as a sheet, shaking) n-no, I won't. And she takes the stairs and goes inside. I never heard from her again. I calmly finish my job, and leave the building with a smile on my face. Mission accomplished. Edit: disclaimer: some people are having concerns about safety. I made sure there never was any risk. It was intentional that the elevator was able to move, because I needed it to. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to access the car top because of the distance between the floors. I tes

Text - never were exposed live wires. When I blocked the door with my bag, I never left the site. On every floor the "out of order" tag was placed over the floor call buttons, and the reason why I initially started working on the ground floor is so people who enter the building can clearly see me working when the elevator was still "active" The moment when I started working on the car top, and people couldn't see me when entering the building, I did make use of the stop button, that I already te
