Rain on the brain Posted Sun 02 Sep, 2007 6:44 PM |
| I live at the 6th floor of a building, so I get the lift to go to my flat or to get to the ground floor, I opened the door of the lift looking at the post box to see if there was some mail and put the foot inside automatically, without looking at the lift, I felt the "nothing" under my foot and almost had a heartstroke, the lift is broken and was almost down in the cellars, thankfully I was still with my hand holding the door. I wonder why I could open the door, it should block automatically in these cases. |

| That does sound slightly worrying. And dangerous, now I come to think of it. |

Ah, thanks! I arrived home shivering in fear, and that stupid door shouldn't have opened without the lift there!
I had to get it off my chest |

Scary stuff.
