One of the most basic forms of what might be called torture is screwing with a person's internal clock, generally by manipulating light/dark cycles and meal-times. In the case of the guy stuck in the elevator, he also engaged the buzzer, adding sonic torture to his own little hell.
I'm not really surprised that in a building with so many floors, neither his coworker nor the custodians who saw him enter the elevator didn't gather a clue, but it would really bother me greatly to learn that 8 security guards had their duty while he was trapped in a lighted, monitored elevator. Talk about your crap security. Wouldn't a prone body in an elevator interest a security guard? Or someone facing a wall outside open doors? Especially his initial attempt at the trapdoor should've induced some action by the security guard.
Ok, so at some point you either wrote or said something along the lines of, "every time I see someone with an iphone I think 'there's another jerk with an iphone'." And I have to say that I hate you for it because it's now the first thing that jumps into my head when I see someone with an iphone.
Stay out of my head!
