Hmm... not sure how the lawsuit is going to go - specially since you're posting images of what appears to be - everyone smiling and having a grand ol' time.

No one looks to be scared, injured or suffering the discomfort of being sexually harassed.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Why someone would think PTSD is an easy sell I have no idea.

yeah, so a few people have pointed out now. If you had read the original post you would know when the pictures were taken.

why is it, that you always have something to say about every-fucking-thing? Yes, we know you are old, but wise through your years, you are not. Keep to what you know best; taking pictures of women that will jump on anyone's back to be in front of the camera for some attention, and trying to look cool on your Harley.

ummm, maybe because I used to work as a settlement negotiator for a Plaintiff's attorney, so I have a little experience in dealing with this stuff.

sure you did. and I fly fighter jets on the weekends.

Wait, so now you are calling me a liar?

Good you made it, it's totally crazy!!!

Just living the lie for years and years.

Instead of being a frivolous lawsuit filing pussy maybe you should just get on with your life and forget about it?

Or ask for a refund?

hey Hater, glad to have you on board!:thumbsup

I actually remember reading that a long time ago. It's funny, do you keep that page bookmarked, so when you start feeling down, you can bring it right up and remember the good old days?

Did you look human then?

I had to look it up, but FUBAR had a link that made it quite easy.

When I got hired I looked like a typical biker. My boss bought me a bunch of suits (all I owned was black t-shirts and Levi's). I went out and got a haircut. My boss and wife were both pretty impressed with the transformation.

I am not trying to be a "hater" but I do have prior experience. I can not see us having taken on your case on a contingency basis, but if you wanted to put money up front, sure.

If you lived in CA you would probably be able to get a medical marijuana card pretty easy for PTSD but as far as monetary damages, it is my personal opinion that you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Good luck.

So no response eh? Color me surprised. :winkwink:

Its tools like you who are responsible for the sad state of the American legal system.

Man up and get over it, pussy!

P.S. I hope you end up stuck with a huge legal bill and that this thread is used against you in court! :thumbsup

if his work or home requires the use of an elevator he can prob get some good cash by claiming he is traumatized to use an elevator now thus requiring new office or home.

Like I said . . . good luck.

Make sure you also sue for punitive damages due to the lost time you could have spent submitting galleries. :thumbsup

Obviously don't know what punitive damages are.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

On the other hand, all places with elevators have stairs, and I don't think having to climb stairs is cruel and unusual punishment.

My opinion is partially based on the fact that I have been stuck in an elevator before. I hated elevators before that day, and still hate them. I hated getting on them for a long time. Still pretty much hate them. I got stuck in one at work, and still rode it to the 6th floor every day. Kinda sucked, but part of being a grown up is getting the fuck over some things.:2 cents:

suing for getting stuck on a elevator, ive heard it all now.

Bump for Baddog! He speask the trughth1!1

what's sad is the fact that you came into here to start some bullshit for no apparent reason. You don't know me from Adam. You are probably just another keyboard jockey that likes to talk shit behind his computer.

and there are way more details and involvement in this situation other than just to sue to sue. The fucked up thing in America is people who sue who have no fucking right to - like say some crackhead who breaks into your house, cuts himself and then sues the homeowner.

Just because Baddog is your legal counsel doesn't mean Jack shit. In fact, he was so fucking good at it that he stopped doing it to sell SEO hosting. And you are probably just one of his "customers". :1orglaugh

yah, that's exactly it. You obviously can't read between the lines, or see yourself in this situation. There are way more facts that I can't get into right now about "why" a lawsuit will be filed. It's way more complicated than just "suing for getting stuck on an elevator".

Cliff notes??

Shitty situation but I'm guessing the hotel/casino has some GREAT lawyers. Good luck trying to sue.

thats some crazy shit.. i would of been freeked out ..... did you continue to party all night long ..

just an fyi on the airline thing.. when value jet went to the shits after crashing in the florida mudd obviously the name valuejet would never "fly" again so they bought a small operator name AIRTRAN to take over their activities....

after they "debriefed" us we immediately went to the bar, i told the bar tender what happened and showed him the pictures of the incident. So for the rest of the night he gave us free drinks until I was seeing double. Very cool guy.

Before I showed him the pictures I asked him if he believed me, because I figured he heard all kinds of shit from people and he said "yeah, this whole hotel is fucking falling apart!"

Looks like you were real terrified lol, I wouldn't show this to attorneys in the lawsuit.

The Bright Side
 

Just in case anyone else ever gets stuck in that situation, here's something to maybe make you feel a TINY bit less afraid.

Most elevators have redundant safety systems to prevent you from falling very far before safety brakes engage. But even if all systems failed simultaneously, there's almost always a shock absorption system at the bottom. for instance, there might be long metal pistons that plunge into a very viscous fluid to bring the car to a halt quickly. It would be abrupt, but would probably prevent serious injuries. There are different last-resort features that vary by manufacturer and model. plus - as an elevator car approaches the bottom of its shaft it will compress the air in the shaft to create a natural cushion.

Of course, I would probably die of a heart attack before the shock absorbers kicked in.

Here are some fun related links I found. sorry they have to be decoded, but i can't post URL's yet. :disgust

Damn thats pretty fucked up waiting in there for so long I woulda gone crazy

i must've missed the name of the hotel. sorry if you already mentioned it.

oh and i was checking out your celeb site to possibly swap links and noticed it said sfw...but the dating ads are far from it :1orglaugh

nice site otherwise.

which one, BETA? If so, yes, it has been changed, but I have another SFW celeb site with a PR6.

Ok, time for me to chime in...

On my shirt: Mark, I was sporting that thing for the whole day. I had just put that shirt over it right before we took the elevator "down". I am now going to burn it, as it is obviously a bad luck shirt.

On us smiling in the pics: As stated in the post, all of those pics were taken in the first 15 mins. You can be damn sure that after the 3 hour mark nobody was smiling or thinking to snap more pics. Why were we smiling? Um... when the fucking elevator started shaking and making horrible noises, I thought I was going to fucking die. As soon as I realized we weren't going to crash to our deaths, I was a little happy. If you had gone through the same thing, you'd understand. There is NOBODY out there that can honestly believe that three hours in an elavator was by any means fun.

On us suing: I am one of those people that completely hates petty lawsuits. I mean, I've seen plenty of friends around here sued over stupid shit. I would never file a lawsuit in the persuit of money if I didn't truly feel that I had been wronged. I have had dozens of people say that I haven't been the same since. I have seriously been changed by this shit. Do I think the hotel is to blame? Absolutly. They were neglegant. We suffered. Plain and simple.

On us winning: I know they have lawyers. I'm sure they have DAMN good lawyers. I'm willing to bet that they have the best lawyers money can buy. Really, really expensive lawyers. The best deep pockets can buy. And I'm sure that those expensive lawyers will rack up a huge bill arguing this in court. I can only imagine how big that bill will be...

Hey guys - I had to change names, so this is my new GFY handle - just a quick update. We are still talking to various attorney's, should know who to move forward with by next week. Thanks for all the tips and comments, even those from the haters.

Return of the two elevator pussies. :1orglaugh

People talk about the pussification of America, these two money grubbing wimps are living proof of it!

Glad to hear you're still around! :thumbsup

I definitely understand why you guys were laughing afterwards, I would've been too!
I'm surprised no one lost their cool though, I would've been barking my head off at the intercom lady and forcing my way through the hatch.
The engineer got down there, why have you guys sit and wait for something to possibly go wrong.

The lawyers would cost more than you would get in a settlement. Seriously, a few hours of your life in a non-air conditioned elevator is not life altering. Maybe you get a couple grand, which is less than what a good lawyer will cost.

And besides, you were stuck in an elevator. You'd have to be some of the biggest pussies alive to sue for that.

BINGO!

We have a winner.:thumbsup

I suspect the goal is to get an out of court settlement figuring it is cheaper to just pay out than to go thru the expense of defending the case.

The only problem is that the attorneys are in-house and are getting paid either way, so might as well put them to work.

If they get free tickets to the buffet (don't settle for the breakfast one, insist on dinner) they should be happy.

I read this on SteakandCheese, nothing worse than getting stuck in an elevator. I live on the fifth floor and every couple days the elevator gives me problems, just a matter of time before I get stuck...

Hope you get something for your troubles when it's all said and done...

I'm willing to bet the sueing is more over the hotels negligence in not calling for a rescue in a timely matter.
Me personally I would have probably climbed on top of the car to see if I could get to a floors door and get the fuck out, and then just demand that I stay no charge.

See, I think I am with the people that are saying why sue? A few hours in a stuck elevator equates to PTSD or pain and suffering or ??????

Seriously... get the bill comped and tell them they will cover your hotel costs at another hotel on your next visit. Why go through the hassle of a legal action?

They pissed you off by not responding properly, but the legal action seems over the top and too much of a reaction. I don't see why any court/jury/attorney would deem this to be a reason to judge in your favor.

It makes for a great story, but the lawsuit will just drag you down and you won't be satisfied with whatever you get.

I injured my back working for the airlines years and years ago...... I mean seriously hurt it pretty bad. i am thinking hey.. the airline was negligent, right... worker's comp right??? Lots of money to pay for college.. yeah.. I am set now!!!! Want to know what it was worth in the end??? $1250 and the lawyer took 1/3 of that on contingency. BFD man... $800 for my fucked up back. I would have rather had a bunch of free flights.

Be smart... don't sue.. it won't be worth it.

sorry - the only pussy I see is you hiding being your GFY handle. Instead of porn farming, how about farming these nuts in your mouth?

Just a thought!

Just shut the fuck up dude. I didn't post this so you can talk shit about a situation that you would probably have cried in.

Well it seems you guys made the best of it :)
Better than having a panic attack and crying in the corner :)

Soooooooooo, you're suing the hotel because you were stuck in the elevator? Nobody got hurt or anything during this right? It just stopped and you had to sit there with 5 gay mexicans?

The only damages I see happening would be to your butthole. Why don't you just earn your money like everyone else instead of suing a hotel for an inconvenience. Douchebag.

I make quite a bit of money on my own, but thank you. Like I said you fucking moron, there were a lot of details of which I couldn't yet get into. Maybe if you could read between the lines there is more going on than just sitting in an elevator with 5 gay Mexicans?
