There’s no doubt that being trapped in an elevator isn’t a fun experience but it’s still a good idea to maintain some kind of composure while you’re waiting. YouTube user Nick Nerv recently had the unpleasant experience of being trapped in an elevator with a man who proceeded to completely lose his mind and started trying to profanely tear the elevator apart to get free.

The video starts out with loud slamming sounds as the man is trying to pry the elevator’s inside door open to help them get more air. Once he succeeds at doing this, he starts yelling in vain about the elevator technicians who are allegedly refusing to open up the elevator’s outside door. Every once in a while will start loudly belting out Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” or Wreckx-N-Effect’s “Rump Shaker,” after which he starts incessantly ringing the alarm bell in the hope that it will somehow get someone’s attention.

While this is going on, the man who’s in the elevator with him is remarkably calm despite the fact that he’s trapped in an elevator with someone who has clearly lost their ability to reason.

Check out the whole video below and be thankful that this sort of thing has never happened to you.
