Now I'm scared

The elevator in the building where I work has a little plaque on the inside. It's designed to make you less worried, but it has the opposite effect. The plaque reads, more or less "In the event that the elevator becomes stuck, do not be alarmed. There is little chance of the air running out or the elevator plummeting to the bottom"

That's not helping. I know they legally can't put that there is no chance, but now I worry about the horrors of running out of air. This sign makes me more worried, not less. There's also a remote chance of elevator snakes, but they haven't made a sign for that either. But in the case of elevator snakes, you shouldn't be alarmed either...



... because snakes can smell fear.
