 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go to see, go to see. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. We got a triple cap, we got a triple cap. We almost out of sound. Hop on in, hop on in, hop on in. Watch your door, watch your door. What's up, hey, we barely got the wind. Boys just camping hella crazy, but hey, we got the dub. That's what's up, that's what I like to see. GGs, everybody, GGs. Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, what's good with y'all, it's your boy Ross, back again with another video. So I got a story time for you guys, man. You see the title, yes, your boy is afraid of elevators. I have a serious fear of elevators. I'm just, I'm not good when I'm around them, when I know I have to get on one. I'm just not the biggest fan. I'm that guy that will really take several flights of steps before I get on the elevator. Seriously, not even making this up. Like, if there's an opportunity to take steps in the elevator, I'm gonna take the steps unless I have something heavy and I have to take the elevator, but I'm gonna break down why. So it started when I was a kid. I had to be in elementary. We were actually going on a field trip. The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, they just reopened like a new section. So the school that I went to at the time, they decided to take our class there on a field trip. The class was broken up into two groups. I was in one group and then some other people that I know in the class, they was in another group. Now, the other group, they went on their separate way and we went on our separate way, but we was going upstairs to check out some of the new, our galleries upstairs. So in my mind, you know, this, we could have took the steps, you know what I'm saying? And at this time, I wasn't really afraid of elevators. I actually thought they were kind of cool at the time. So I wasn't really afraid, but I was like, we could have took the steps, but it didn't matter. It was neither here nor there, but we got on the elevator. Now, before all this went down, I have to let, I have to kind of set the scene. Cause like I said, I wasn't afraid of elevators, but it wasn't until right before this field trip happened that I started gaining a little bit of fear for them. So I was watching the show on TV. I think my mom was watching it. I was just watching it in the background, being nosy. And in the scene of the show, I'll never forget this. There was a group of people in the elevator and the elevator failed and they all died when it opened up. They were all dead. So imagine a little kid like me seeing that and it kind of puts, it plans to see the fear. You know what I'm saying? So at that point, I was kind of like nervous around elevators, but I wasn't really scared cause you know, it hadn't happened. So I was like, all right, cool. I'm just, you know, I'm not as confident as I was with elevators as it used to be. So after that, we get on an elevator. Remind, remember, it's like 10 kids and like two adults on the elevator. Elevator was a nice size and we weren't too cramped. So we get to the second floor. There's only two floors in the building. We get to the second floor and it's stuck. It won't open. When I say the fear in me intensified because then I started remembering, oh shit. Oh man, oh man, what if this elevator falls and then we all died? Like all this is running in my head, but I don't say anything. So I get, I literally just started backing away into one of the corners in the elevator and I'm just quiet. Like I start hyperventilating. I'm starting to get hot, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, oh man, I'm, oh my God, I'm in here dying, bro. Like they need to hurry up and open the door. Some of the kids started getting scared. I was in there just like trying to keep my composure, but I was terrified. So when they finally opened up the elevator doors, when I say I took the biggest big deep breath of fresh air, like I was just so happy to be free and I don't even know how long we was in there. We may have been there for like, good. It was like maybe, it was like five, six minutes, but those minutes felt so long when you in an elevator full of low key. I mean, not everybody was frantic, but there was a lot of kids in there that was starting to get a little bit scared and nervous. Oh my God, bro. Ever since then it scarred me. So it's to the point now where if I get on the elevator, bro, at any point in the day, like I'll stop talking. Like saying, I'm talking to someone on the elevator and if I get on there, I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just gonna be quiet. I'm not gonna make a single peep because I'm thinking, okay, if it stops, you know what I'm saying? How long would it take them to get to us? I'm actually checking to see if there's emergency phones because a lot of elevators have like emergency phones or something that you can like press to cause someone's arm. I'm trying to make sure the elevator is up to code. You think I'm playing like, you know, all elevators or most of them shouldn't have like, when it was last inspected, if it's up to code, I'm checking every single time I get in one. I'm checking, is this up to code or not? Is this expired? Like, you think I'm BSing? And I'm doing this just while being still, being quiet. Like, I just, I shut down. Like, I start concentrating on other stuff. If it's starting to shake a little big, I start to, you know, get a little bit nervous. I'm trying to listen to if there's any loud creaks in the elevator shaft. Like, I'm in there trying to be as alert as possible. And then I'm also thinking, if it does fall, what do I do? Just me, man. So that's why I said at the beginning of this video, I will literally take steps before I take an elevator unless I'm moving something heavy and I have to take the elevator, then I will by necessity, nine times on a 10, if we go into like the fifth floor. All right, I'll meet y'all there. Hey, I'll get my exercise in. I may be out of breath, but should I get my exercise in? You know what I'm saying? Hey Ross, we can take the elevator. No, no, no, no, I'm good. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna walk up there. I need to work out. So for those who know me, if you've never like picked up on just the little subtle signs I do around the elevators, now you know for those who don't know me, this is something that, you know, I wanted to kind of share with you guys. Like, I know it's kind of a weird phobia to have, but elevators, man, they're just my arch nemesis, bro. Like Superman has kryptonite. You put me around the elevator. That's it, bro. Like, if boys wanted to know how to torch me, push me next to it. Wait, what are you doing? Wait, what are you doing? Give us the codes. No, please don't do it. Don't want me in the elevator. No, okay, here's the code. I'm giving away all government secrets. I'm giving away everything. I'm not playing no games. You can have it. You can have the nuclear launch codes. Just do not put me in that goddamn elevator, please. So just wanted to give y'all a little bit of an insider on some of the more personal things that kind of, you know, give me some fear and make me, make me tense up a little bit, but I want to know what are some weird phobias you guys have, comment down below. Let me know if there's like, you're just afraid of whatever random stuff that you're afraid of. Let me know. I want to start a conversation with you guys because there's a lot of things that you would be surprised people are afraid of. So I want to see what you guys have a fear of, man.
