This doesn't work on all elevators, but it works on all Otis models, and a few miscellaneous others. On the Otis models, it isn't required to hold the button combination down for five seconds- only that they are pressed simultaneously. I don't know about any others- maybe that's where the five second thing matters.

this is probably the best thing i have ever read online. EVER.

That's actually really old...but one of my favorite things to do. I WILL admit though, the comment on Otis models sounds kinda legit...hmmm...anyone know for SURE?!

I don't think you should "laugh at all of the people that are waiting on an elevator while you go right past them."

Maybe you should be ROTFL all the way to your floor.

LOL, thanks.

The one where I work at doesn't have a close door button =/

Does it work on elevators with only 2 floors?

does is also skip past floors that someone else on the elevator already picked? If so then that would be hilarious

"Does it work on elevators with only 2 floors?"

WTF are you smoking?c

I've done this at a hotel in houston during a major convention and there was about 10 people going to floors 2-8. I wanted to go on the 10th floor so I did the trick, everyone was just like WTF! When I got off I just giggled.

Is there any way to do this trick if the elevator doesn't have a 'close door' button? Like any other buttons or button combos?

Best thing i have ever read !

i wish iknew that sooner. thats the greatest thing ever.

w/no door close, I've seen pushing both the current and destination floors work...on an older one

Another trick someone taught me is that if you pick the wrong floor, pushing (not simultaneously obviously) all of the buttons will clear the list of floors selected, and you just have to hit the one you want. I'm not sure if it works on all brands, or just the one in my office.

i don't know, there's an Otis elevator in my dorm and this doesn't work.

this thing is the best thing i ever heard

The option to force an elevator to go straight to your floor can be turned off by the people that installed it.

OK, I have never being here but this kind of stuff I love. I do it all the time. Here is another one. There is a sort of metal piece at the top of the elevator (where the two doors meet when they close)It looks like a giant on and off switch (again in otis elevators). If the elevator is going up and you want to go down, just get into the elevator and press the floor that you want to go to while you press this switch on and off a few times. It will switch directions....Sweet

I haven't tried it but may cause your elevator to stop working for this.
you should write a disclaimer about this for safety reasons. anyways be safe

Yeah, old stuff. What was the web site ? Something about Easter Eggs... And the elevators I have tried this one do not support this feature.

this would be so funny to do in my school

Thats awsome i'm gunna do this in my school elevator

@Joshua...does it work on elevators with only two floors...

...biggest laugh I have had in awhile. nice wit.

@civisi Yeah, you're right. The idea has already been mentioned at eeggs.com (http://www.eeggs.com/items/12697.html)

haha i cant wait to do this on my grandmas 25 story apartment

heeeheeeghehheeeeh

Man, I wish I had known this when I lived in NYC. Not much use out here in suburbia...

Some states, like the one I live in, require by law that the door close button be disabled. Major bummer.

i did that once..in a mall, the lock on the controller box broke..and the lift was empty. So i opened it and pressed dont stop.. hahahaah/..

.. and then you fell to your death

Suck it

hahaha this is gonna make my trip to new york inside the empire state building even funner going up from floor 1 all the way to the top without stopping

I was just in San Fransisco, and our hotel elevator was an Otis model. I had my sister stand on the 3rd floor as I went down from the fourth to the 2nd floor. I did the trick, the told her over a cellphone to press the "call-down" button a second after the doors closed.

The trick did not work. I tried it twice with different timing. No go.

Does anyone know if this works on hitachi modes

this is like the best site ever, for this reason

Don't do this, in certain places, sometimes people absolutely NEED elevators, E.G. in hospitals! You dicks wanna be responsible for somebody's death because they couldn't get the equipment down?

Ummmm...Actually hospitals have service elevators for people/patients that actually need to use them. Nobody is going to die if you use this trick.

lmao i read this a couple days ago and tried in a department store rotflmao tis so cool

Renegade,

all you people serously need to get a life.
thanx, peace out.

I've GOT a life. I love it! Stuff like this makes it even better! Peace off!

what he said

Thats fucking great im going to piss people off now!

I did this 2 my boss and he was realllyyy MAD!

The undeniable beauty of parquet flooring is financially out of reach for many people. A cost comparison between

replacing the old worn out wall to wall carpeting and installing parquet flooring will show that the parquet choice is

less expensive if you install it yourself.

If you don't have sub flooring which can be sanded and varnished, you might consider do it yourself parquet flooring.

Eight or twelve inch squares of finished oak are available in several shades of stain from dark walnut like oak to pale

natural tones. The wood grain is preserved in all finishes and the final clear coat will stand up to most traffic.

anyone know what kind of elevators are in the empire state building cuase it would be so awsome if someone did this and went bottom to top to bottom again with all these really busy buisness people and video taped them.

Some of you people need to stop arguing and remember what the true meaning of this trick is: to piss people off and laugh at them when they can't to crap about it!

it sucks monkey ball sacks

i fuck dicks like yours

On some elevators you can just hold down the button for the floor you want to go and it should bypass all other stops even with no door close button.

Who's the fucken knob jockey talking about parquet flooring? Last time I checked it didn't have a lot to do with elevators...

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE suckers

so funny doing it at metro center subway station in DC. it had windows so i stuck my tounge out at them

So funny how pissed off they were

Thanks

Good Job! :)

i was in san diego for the holiday bowl and all the fans (like 400 of them) were there and i read this on my laptop

I don't care who you are but that's funny. I'm gonna try that the next time that I get into an elevator with "more than two floors" MORON!

"Ummmm...Actually hospitals have service elevators for people/patients that actually need to use them. Nobody is going to die if you use this trick."

Actually not all hospitals do. I went to UCLA and they didnt have separate elevators.

I tried it but it didn't work for me. Then I remembered the part about laughing at people as you go past. works great now!

This doesn't work. The "close door" button isn't hooked up to anything, it's just to give people something to do while they impatiently wait. Read up on elevators and you'll see this.

Get a stopwatch and try pressing the closed door button. You'll see that the door close on their own time, totally independant of when or how often you pressed the button.

dang this is awesome! great blog idea :D... btw check out instructables. its like this blog but its more of a community thing XDD
