Other residents and commenters applauded the TikToker's "fight" to get the elevator fixed. Not long after, received a text from his roommate who sent a picture of another note next to the one he left.Ī broken elevator led to a viral TikTok series that has recorded the number of days since the elevator has been out of service. Graduating from small sticky notes, he wrote the same message on a larger sheet of paper and taped it to the elevator doors.

Although his sticky notes were removed, took things another step further.

The saga continued with the Italian protest song Bella Ciao playing in the background of the videos. When returned to the elevator the next day and discovered it was still broken, he posted another sticky note to mark the 11th day without elevator service. The first video, posted on August 27, shows the TikToker posting a sticky note that reads "Out of order 10 days and counting" to the elevator. After days of waiting, one of the elevators remained out of service, leading to a viral TikTok series posted to that has been dubbed a "revolution." These videos have received anywhere between 53,000 views to as many as 2.8 million views. It all started with an email from management at a California apartment complex stating that all elevators in one of the buildings were out-of-order for emergency maintenance.
