Need an option for "yes - after I press the call button I stand in front of the elevator door because the elevator is just for me and nobody could possibly be wanting to get exit when the doors open" Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

I started typing it but thought that concept would sidetrack the poll. Trust me, it's also on my list of things to bitch about, but I needed to focus. NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

Elevators are the devil's witchcraft. Do not them. You might think it is simply going from one floor to another. The reality is you are transitioning from one dimension to another, and fucking up continuity of the legitimate corporal timeline. OMG!!! Do not do this...

A lot of people do push both up and down and just get on no matter which direction is answered m. Then they select the floor they want to go to. Elevators cancel reverse car calls at the end of travel in each direction. If they put in a call for the 1st floor while it’s headed up the call will be cancelled. Now they think the call was skipped and on the way down it stops to pick up that person who is already riding. Another favorite is people pushing the buttons for passenger cars on one side of the lobby and the buttons for the service car on other the side. Both cars stop, one for no reason. Everyone else is now waiting that useless stop to be satisfied. Door cycle time is where all the waiting comes in. “That’s what.” - She | |||

I imagine there are several standard elevator floor selection algorithms that (probably) vary by manufacturer. So one's answer might differ by the brand of elevator you're using (or maybe whoever programmed that particular unit). Maybe we can get Otis in here to address this crucial issue? Anyone know, off hand, where one would buy a fireman's elevator key? a quick search reveals this one on Amazon (prob. only works on Chinese elevators). | |||

That is make the door close so the person rushing to get to the door can't. __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit! Sigs Owned - A Bunch | |||

I’m chonky. I’ll take the stairs and beat you if it’s not a skyscraper. If it’s a skyscraper, unless I need to poop I’m probably not in a hurry and I’ll silently laugh at the button pushers. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

I thought you were supposed to press the button the same number of times as there were people waiting - so it knows how many people it needs to pick up  . I have been on elevators with no interior buttons. There is a keypad preceding the elevator bank, you enter your desired floor, and it tells you which elevator car to use - works pretty well with large groups going to multiple floors. | |||

It's kinda like someone clicking the mouse button 14,000 times because the page didn't load immediately. | |||

I work for a group who covers a Catholic hospital. Famously, one of the sisters waiting on an elevator had someone walk up and start pushing the illuminated button. After the 5th-ish push she reached out, grabbed his arm and said "Son, that button only has so many pushes in its useful life, and you are wasting them." You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

You should be considerate by pressing all the floor buttons in the elevator just before you step out. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
