Had superday today, got to the building ten minutes early but took the wrong elevator and got trapped in the freight elevator for ten minutes. Was a little under ten minutes late to first interview- told the interviewer what happened and why i was late and he laughed. Am i done for? interview went pretty well after...

if he laughed and you were able to brush it off, take it in stride, and rock the rest of the interview, shouldn't be a problem at all. obviously it all depends on what the interviewer thought, but in this case it sounded like he didn't care
was late to an interview on friday, still got the offer today. if you don't make it a big deal/had a legit reason (which you do, and a funny one too, haha) and you kill the interview, shouldn't be a big deal unless the interviewer is an ass.
I was 20 minutes late to a superday. They sent someone in to decide if I was worth keeping around or not, turned out fine and got an offer there
