I d be a blithering wreck immediacy needing a wee, porthole or no porthole, you would only see a blank wall if you were stuck
I use lifts, but reluctantly, I never feel very comfortable until the door opens, when I was 12 a workman died in a lift accident a big hotel they were demolishing next door to my school it plummeted to the ground killing him maybe that had an effect on my growing mind

In a lift shaft you can probably only see brick walls.

I'm not a great lover of lifts. I've been in several glass , it makes no difference whether I can see out or not.
Surely you attract attention by pressing the alarm button?

Had the misfortune of getting stuck in a lift with eight other persons,
I was not particularly worried but some of the occupants had a very concerned look on their faces,
I presume they could suffer from Claustrophobia.
What did not help is that there no port hole so you could see out and attract some ones attention,
the emergency button was pressed but it was not very pleasant experience, that you hear but not see any one with shouts of "help is on its way"
