I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, but if it fails, that doesn't say much.

To see if it works? If I'm a cop needing to get to floor 20 quickly, I'd not only want to avoid skipping picking up new people, but also letting out people pressing intermediate floors. If there is an override, my guess is it would override everything.
Cops and firemen have keys that activate the express mode (and lock out all other calls until the key is taken out).

I am trying to think of what anyone would imagine to be the motive for an elevator company to implement this feature, and failing.  Those of you believe in this, can you explain why you would think an elevator manufacturer would pay to include this feature?

I just tried it and it failed.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm 5 for 5 today. :yeah:  Two of those times I didn't even press the door close button.

Feature?

I have a new experiment.  When on an elevator sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" while doing a dance and see if that prevents the elevator from stopping.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Doesn't work, it stopped after 10 minutes.

New Experiment.  Do people get on the elevator when you are singing and dancing or do they just wait for the next one?

I like to pass gas while the elevator door is shut and it is in motion.

I don't think I have told this here, if I have tough crap I think it is funny.

I was working in an office building; I was on the top floor so when the empty elevator showed up I knew it was going down so I jumped right in and hit the button for the ground floor.  Just as the doors closed I realized that someone had left behind the worst smelling fart ever.  Needless to say the elevator went down one floor where three of the hottest gals in the building get on, with me alone in an elevator smelling like I had shit my pants.  I tried to explain, I don't think they believed me.  :Embarrass:

I like to leave farts that stick to areas. I never signed the landmine ban.

Somehow I'm guessing if you tried this in an 50 story building it's not gonna work.

Why is the mechanics of passing gas different at high altitudes?

Less atmospheric pressure, the stink dissipates much quicker.
