Imladris has just left Hobbiton.
German Midterms and all the declining of past/future/present verbs and adjective endings that are determined by gender among other things that tend to make the brain explode.

Away to Mordor with door locks that break and leaved you locked in behind them!

Fortunately, I'm on the smaller side and this was one of those dressing room type doors with a fairly large space underneath, so I made my escape by slipping under the door.

I also assign sliding across a floor that is probably disgustingly filthy. *shudders*

Poor Celuien. I know how it feels. One time my section got locked out of our bunk in specialist training centre, boot camp. And to get add to the dilemma, it was the weekend bookout and the three tonner truck was waiting to take us to the ferry terminal. I was nominated by my section mates to go through another section's bunk, climb out their window and enter ours to unlock the door.

I assign when the elevator doors shut, but not all the way, leaving you stuck inside an unmoving metal box that's suspended at least seventy feet above the bottom of the shaft. *shiver*

Oh no, Saurreg. Locked doors that shouldn't be locked are awful, and it sounds like that was a particularly bad time and place to encounter one!

And I assign nominating people to take on unwelcome tasks.

Could have been worse - One of the secretaries where I worked last year got trapped in the lift but instead of being rescued by a dishy and hunky fireman she was rescued by a short and puny solicitor with killer halitosis...

But I assign people who think their fame and wealth gives them the right to pick out a child to adopt like a fashion accessory "cambodian babies are sooo last year ...has to be an african "

At least they're helping that child.

And Fea, in my dorm in college we used to sit in the elevator lobby and listen to the screams of whoever'd gotten stuck in the elevator. You could hear them clearly on all eight floors.
