“A friend of mine was in a historic building, waiting for the elevator, and when the doors opened, he stepped in without looking down. The doors had opened without an elevator present.”
“I remember thinking anyone this happened to would be an idiot when it was brought up in the past, until a similar thing happened to me. I was on the ground floor, so obviously I didn’t die, but the way it was explained to me was that it went into a resting position, which was half a meter lower than the floor. So I stepped in when the door opened without realizing it, and twisted my ankle on landing because of the distance. I always look down now.“
