The Only Way Is Up: Security Guard Leaves His Phone in an Elevator With Hilarious Results

Giovanni Cardenas put his phone camera on record in an elevator in his workplace, to try to capture a trick he thought he’d mastered – whereby he’d prompt the elevator doors to stay open by putting his head in the space between them. However, Cardenas’ trick didn’t go to plan when he failed to stick his head fully between the doors to prompt the sensors. Hilariously, the doors closed and Cardenas’ phone travelled to another floor. As the elevator, and phone, reached a different level, a woman can be seen approaching the elevator and backing away in confusion. Texas-based Cardenas posted the video to Twitter on June 13, joking “I was going up and down the floors looking for it [his phone].” Credit: Giovanni Cardenas via Storyful
