Happened to me as a kid and I assure you.... it's not fun it doesn't scare me so much as it makes me extra wary not to bump against the pan when I'm frying something up.
not anymore now that i’ve graduated, but it definitely scared me while i was still a student. i never failed unless i didn’t show up to classes and/or hand in any assignments, so failing was a rarity for me, but still.
yes, that sounds horrifying. i’ve thankfully never gotten stuck in an elevator for any length of time, but it’s still always in the back of my mind every time i get on one, especially old ones and ones i’ve never been on before.
