So this happened about 3 hours ago. Me and a few buddies decided, let's go down to L.A. for the weekend! We'll a few hour drive and a few road sodas later, we arrived at a super swanky Japanese hotel in little Tokyo. None of us being from California originally, we kinda forgot they worry about earthquakes here.
We checked in and got to the hotel room where we started drinking whiskey and rough housing around. One of my buddies decided he wanted sushi. Now buzzed us decide fuck it and headed to the elevator.
Once we got in one of my buds decided to try to fight the rest of us. We started fucking around in the elevator and then suddenly he got the bright idea to jump. Nothing happened so we laughed and he asked us all to jump. He counted to three and we all launched ourselves as high as we could. Fun fact, did you know elevators in California have seismic brakes??
The second we hit the ground the elevator slammed to a stop. At first it was funny but then we couldn't get it to open. We started pressing every button we could and nothing happened. This then lead to us being stuck in it for about a hour and had to call for help. They ended up having to pry the doors open and give us a ladder to climb out.
This was all fine until they told us they saw us on the CCTV jumping and the bill for emergency evac is on us. So long story short... that thing they said when you were younger about breaking elevators by jumping? Well fuck me it's true, don't do it!
TLDR: Went to a swanky hotel and try jumping in the elevator. Got stuck and am now stuck with a 1k plus bill
