It's another story of emotional duress from a resident of the super expensive Plaza Hotel residences! This time, it's not about being lonely, it's about a resident being stuck in the trash room for seven hours.
"Top real estate broker" Joanna Cutler went to throw out her trash on February 20. Thinking she would be gone for a minute and leaving her apartment door open, she went to the garbage room, only for the door close and jam shut. She told the Post she "began shoving and pushing" for hours and even attempted to push out (from under the door) whatever had caused the door to jam, bloodying her fingers.
Cutler was screaming, too, but her neighbors didn't hear her because like many Plaza residents, they are out-of-towners. She was eventually found at 6AM by a building worker starting his shift. The Post adds that Cutler "Broke down and wept believing that rescue from her dank hell was hopeless and fearing that someone would rob her apartment, whose door she had left open." (Her apartment and Fabrege egg were safe, and Cutler poses with it in the Post.)
The culprit? A piece of particle board, according to Cutler's lawyer who "said a 4-foot by 8-foot piece of particle board laid down to protect hallway rugs had been improperly taped down, causing it to shift and jam against the door." Naturally, Cutler's lawyer told Elad Properties, which will be unveiling the Plaza Hotel in two days after a $400 million renovation, she may sue (Elad said they "sincerely regret the discomfort Ms. Cutler experienced" and inspected other areas).
Let this be a lesson: Just because you have a multi-million dollar apartment at the Plaza Hotel doesn't mean you stop taking out your own trash. Actually two lessons: Bring your cellphone when you're throwing out the trash.

I was trapped in my building's elevator once for an hour and a half before the super could pry the doors open. Fortunately my Faberge* eggs were also unmolested.
*Faberge is french for hard-boiled, right?
After clicking though to the article, the real question is... did they steal her cauldron and her broomstick?

Ahh rich people and their pathetic objects of wealth. Really? who gives a shit about a Faberge egg?
Yah, what's the point in having all the money in the world, and looking like that. Sorry, ladies.
She may sue? Rich people who sue over insignificant little things such as this should have all of their money taken from them.
As a real estate agent, I'm sure she'd have no compunction about showing that garbage room as a "cozy Jr. Studio in historic midtown location -- close to Central Park!!!" for at least $2k/month and then give you shit if you made a stankface about it.
"I don't know what you think you should be getting for your price range, you should feel lucky this unit is even available!"
she "broke down and wept believing that rescue from her dank hell was hopeless"? really? she actually thought no one in the building would ever take out trash again?
the spirit of Eloise slammed the door on her.
Rich Person Uncomfortable For Seven Hours; May Sue
Die.
Are rich people getting uglier these days?
She was negligent by not bringing her cell phone with her. Shit happens. Especially in the trash room.
are there different grades of faberge eggs? . She's got the only one I've ever seen that looked like a turd.

you should always have your cell phone with you. i put mine on the bathroom sink when i'm taking a shower. i have to admit that 7 hours stuck in a room would freak me out.
wait....there is something fishy going on here. a rich person taking out their trash? i thought rich people paid people to do that.....
I assume all her cats are ok?
I guess she could have been successful as a fashion model when the chiseled manly look was in high demand...
coolmidwestguy: Yes, but the fate of her 101 dalmatians is still unknown.
She looks like Golum in that photo. MY PRECIOUS, ITS MINE!!!!
Her hands don't look so cut-up to me. But I'm sure they have some nicely wounded hand photos for the lawsuit.
So a horse walks into the bar at the Plaza hotel, the bartender says, "So why the long face?"....

Ha @ coolmidwestguy!
She's cradling that Faberge egg like a baby that her barren womb can never produce. (No mention of family in that article can only mean her career has left her with no one share her fortune with.)
chuzzlewit: I like the cut of your jib, sir.
she actually looks pretty good in this picture:

i wonder if this was a halloween party given the tux and that creepy statue in the background...
I got locked in my building's trash room for EIGHT hours AND had my Cadbury egg stolen. Suck it bee-atch, I win!
I wonder if she tried pulling?
Try yelling and screaming, if it were my spouse her
voice could be heard on 125th street North and Canal
street South from the Plaaaazza.
