The elevator thing might not be a civil tort, but there could be criminal liability for not having a working emergency call button. Typically that's required by law and I'm fairly certain that dialing a number that isn't monitored 24/7 wouldn't meet the legal requirement.

That phone sounded like it tried to call a private number first (most likely security within the building the parking was connected to.) Then when no one answered it made an outbound call likely to either a security company off site or just emergency services. Unfortunately, no one answered thise either.

She said she just couldn’t keep up with cleaning it at her age and she didn’t know what else to do. I helped her search for the sign, but told her that what they are doing is not only illegal but a code violation and a serious biohazard, and advised her to call the police and code enforcement. Pretty sure her situation was just so unfathomable to her that her mind drew a blank at how to handle it. I think she just needed someone to give her perspective and assurance that it’s okay to stand up for herself, *they* are being the nuisance neighbor and frankly should be ashamed of themselves.

That elevator one was actually kinda nice, in a weird way. You could tell that guy was legitimately a little afraid, but he kept a smile and laugh going. "They make this look so much easier in the movies." It's like he knows there's something wrong, and it's not good, but it's also not imminently dangerous or harmful, so he's not panicking, and instead is rationally trying to solve the issue. Even when he was calling for help, he was doing it in a way that would get help, but didn't sound panicked. I was walking outside LaGuardia one time, and encountered this (very nicely dressed) lady SCREAMING for help. When asked what was wrong, she said "Delta gave me this piece of paper. How do I get home?" That's not a proportional response, but this elevator guy's was. He seems like a cool dude.

That elevator one gave me extreme anxiety cause its really not safe to get off the elevator unless it is stopped level on the floor, if it is unleveled/in-between floors like that it is insanely dangerous as that elevator could move rapidly at any moment up or down, more likely up because of the way they are designed if I remember right and there are cases where people have died cause they got off while it was unleveled. I would be interested if them having to put themselves at risk to exit the elevator would be some sort of grounds for a case of some kind, against the elevator company/property owner, because it looks like they did not succeed in contacting anyone through the elevators phone (they probably could have called emergency services with their phones but it seemed like they weren't and what if they didn't have their phones on them, their phones were dead or they didn't have cell reception) they could have potentially been stuck in there for awhile if that phone didn't actually work or they didn't risk themselves by exiting without some emergency service leveling the elevator. There is one piece of advice I would give to people in this situation DO NOT do what they did in the video you are way safer in the elevator waiting for emergency services then you are doing what they did if something goes wrong the elevator will rise to the top of the elevator shaft but inside you are still safe, even if all the cables/motors/counterweights became disconnected from the elevator you are still safe in the elevator as there are big springs at the bottom of the elevator shaft to catch it if it falls, just don't do what they did.

Elevators fail all the time, so I guess its your own risk for using one, its unpredictable and its gonna happen. But u could sue the owner if they have no emergency call button or phone, also the callcenter is obligated to SENT someone out in the next 30min (atleast from where I am). So u can be stuck for 30min w/o anyone even moving a finger and that would be legal

From personal experience, those elevators have a key hole thingy that has the shittiest locks in existence; litterally any other key, hair pin, cut off piece of soda can, fork or piece of metal that fits in will allow you to turn it, which allows you to open the outer doors a lot easier.

Don't do that! If a stuck elevator has not been properly secured by rescue personnel or an elevator technician it could start moving unexpectedly and you'd end up with catastrophic injuries. Or dead.

I do not fear being stuck inside an elevator, i do fear tho being sliced like a giant scissor if it ever starts moving again and i'm midway out. Lowkey i always exit elevators a little bit faster than people usually do and never try to leave if i am not certain that i can get myself out or in in a single swift movement. These are computers designed to lift 1000Kg or more worth of humans inside a god damn metal box, computers can glitch... I would stay inside that elevator until emergency services arrived thank you very much.

A friend of mine one time got pretty drunk at a bar and instead of going home he walked to his sisters house(she gave him permission) because she lived much closer and he wasn't going to drive home drunk. She lived in a community of row homes that all looked nearly identical and he accidentally walked into her neighbors house in the middle of the night. He immediately realized it wasn't her house and turned around to leave but the home owners had already called the police. He got arrested for burglary that night. It was a complete accident but definitely deserves a knowledge hammer lol

Mistake of fact...reminds me of someone I may or may not know and they were in a very dark parking lot at night because the lights in said parking lot were out. They got into a vehicle that was apparently unlocked and thought it was theirs before realizing it was not and immediately got out and located their vehicle and got in it instead. Why people be NOT locking their vehicles I don't know but omg.

In the snake throwing situation, given the size and color, I would heavily suspect that it was a black rat snake. They don’t usually spend a lot of time in the water, but they are extremely common and that’s exactly what they look like. They are non-venomous, and generally pretty friendly. In fact, they are actually a historical alternative to cats as an animal that can be used to keep grain safe. Therefore, at least it wasn’t a serious risk of injuring the woman

Was a bit of a scary situation but everything turned out alright in the end.

That poor snake could be endangered or protective where they are too. Throwing a snake like that can definitely injure it. It looks like they are somewhere where it could be venemous, but also a snake that's on a beach stands to be a protected species as there are plenty that are. I keep snakes and that would easily injury one in a variety of ways.
