#3  I was trapped in an elevator once for 20 minutes. I had my lunch with me so I sat down and ate it. I tried the phone in that is supposed to be used for such occasions but I got a busy signal so I pressed the alarm button. It worked.

#1  I would probably rather nap in an elevator through an outage rather than do a fireman assisted egress. I guess it would depend on who was keeping me company.
