Fear of elevators
When I was a kid, I got stuck in an elevator when the electricity went out, and since then, I’ve always been afraid of elevators.
I was all alone and there was no way to get out of the elevator. I hated that feeling.
Now I almost never use elevators. I take the stairs instead. If I have to take an elevator— for example,
if I’m in a really tall building,I make sure there’s someone else in the elevator with me.
The only problem is, sometimes I have to wait a long time until another person comes along.
