How to Hack an Elevator, Part Two
By Alice Hill
RealTechNews
A few summers ago we posted a popular story called “Ultimate Elevator Hack: Press Two Buttons at Once and Head Straight for the Lobby.” The posting also covered elevator models that worked and didn’t, so it is still worth a read if you missed it, but here’s an actual video demonstration showing that it does work.
Alice Update: I travel a lot and employ the hack in every elevator I can. Sadly, I have noticed that most elevators have disabled the “express mode” but every now and then you find one that works and zoom your way past many a crowded floor.

The next time YOU are waiting ages for an elevator, I hope you will feel at least partially responsible. When I was a teen, I learned a similar trick that I will not advertise to the masses, but I grew out of using it. I sometimes wonder if courteous behavior is dying in this world.
Maybe next time you feel tempted to try this, try imagining you are on one of the to-be-bypassed floors lying on a stretcher surrounded by EMS techs who are starting to wonder whether they can get you to the hospital in time.

LOL! Scott give me a break. EMS techs use override keys in any building large enough for this to really matter.
