Hmmm interesting

I know that this works if the lift is under fire control. Except that you have to continue to hold the floor button until the floor then hold the open door button.

I don't recall seeing the close doors button in a lift for years.

[plexer]

every lift I've ever used had a close doors button.

my workplace has only got 2 floors so it'll work here

[featured_spectre]

tried and tested at my friends block of flats this morning, works a charm

[plexer]

Had anyone else called for the lift at any other floors though?

Did they run out of 4's when they were printing off the lift buttons?

I have seen missing floors before, its usually because that particular lift cant access the floor even though it exists due to the way the building is laid out.

I've also read it's quite common (though not in this case) for the 13th floor to be missed all together purely based on superstition (i.e. you'd have floor 10 - 11 - 12 - 14 -15 - 16 etc.)

isnt missing 13 though just as bad?

 

IIRC the empire states has a floor 13 but its something like 6" high lol

Isn't that the stop for John Malkovich's head?

[akidosaint]

could be a asian building where the number 4 is considered unlucky

[Dos_Box]

We needed that trick in that Leeds hotel we stayed in last. Stop at every other floor? Yes please, just what we want after a 5 min wait for the thing in the first place!

LOL

 

Yeh Leeds life was a fail.

I have to say this though. This is selfish behaviour by doing this you just make other people wait longer. Personally I would not do this.

Think it depends. Sometimes if lifts full in carparks etc, you don't want to stop every stop just for people to go "oh full" and wait If it's empty, thats another story

By Multi-Floor lifts I was meaning more than just up 1 level and down one level as that tool is rather useless on a G/1 lift really as it either goes up and down
