    This actually happened to me the first (and only) time I was in an escape room. I had never had a panic attack before so it came as a bit of a surprise to everyone. It was when escape rooms were relatively new and the staff did not know what to do. It took the pleading of my friends to get them to let me out.

      It turns out that people with claustrophobia respond poorly to being trapped in an underwater elevator.

        Reminds me of the time I was working retail and a visibly drunk woman crawled under the half down security grate to try to buy something after we were closed.

        I told her to leave, she turned around and saw the gate was half down, had a panic attack that I had “trapped her in the store” and proceeded to start demolishing the displays and threatening me.

        Security was miraculously quick, but as a 16 year old on only my second ever job, I was scared shitless by the absolute insanity that is the average human being.

        10/10 I quit 2 months later after having to stand in one spot for 11 straight hours during Black Friday.

          Haha! That story is hilarious. Obviously not for you as a 16 year old kid experiencing it, but reading about it made me laugh out loud for real. Thanks for sharing.

            Terrifying in the moment, hilarious as soon as she was in hand cuffs.

            Shouldn’t be surprising that I’ve never worked retail again, but that job was kinda cool as a teenager.

      Imagine advertising to the world how weak you are mentally that you attack people who aren’t here to defend themselves by throwing insults behind a computer screen

        being a fragile american with a glass brain has lost its humor to me.

        Welcome to the real world where everyone on the Internet is behind a screen… And use non sequiturs to try and make a point like you just did.

          Difference being that you randomly attacked a dude who isn’t here to defend himself.

          I called you a bitch for your actions.

          Big difference, bucko.

                Can I get a scoobysnack without being an insufferable dickweed? Or is the offer only extended to him?

                  Unfortunately I’ve laced all mine with laxatives specifically for those types.

                I just read that Scooby isn’t in the latest show. I can only assume Scooby snacks are gone as well.

      Not everyone can be as hard as you. And it’s a joke.

      Imagine telling a fun self-deprecating story about how you had a panic attack one time, and some fuckin redditor thinks that somehow makes you weak

      I liked what you said, but apparently 67 other people didn’t, so you’d never know unless I told you. So I’m telling you.
