How to Hack an elevator

nice....im gonna try it next time i see an elevator

ain't the internet great...

Nice.

Wish I'd known this when I worked in a high rise.

That'll come in handy when doing the horizontal bop in a elevator.....

Not that I have ever done that mind you

Hah, we have a bunch of elevators at school... im going to put that to use.

I recommend that you hit the sandbox first just in case if you get stuck!

Tried it twice, today, from the 19th floor. Got down without a stop both times, which is something that happens once in a while in any event.
Only thing is, it's kinda hard to figure out it it was just a coincidence. Cerainly, it looks like this might be for real. If I make it straight down each time for the next 2 - 3 days, I'll be pretty convinced.

Damn! I really want to try this, but work on the second floor of a two story building.

Me too.

I live half my life in very high hotels and I can't wait to try this one. Thanks.

I'm thinking you could test this by hitting a floor# button between you and your destination, keep the door open, then hit door-open+destination floor#, and see where you stop first. If it skips the intermediate floor and goes straight to your destination floor, you know it works.

Hmm... I wonder *when* this works... does it have to be before the door closes, or is it an immediate override... What if you were in route to a floor, then did the button combo... Guess I need to take a trip downtown and experiment. No, enough distractions... I need to work on my car!

Funny Matt. Yes do tell. But always remember to *test* before showing off.

I'm sure not the first or last time....and the beat goes on.....

I can't believe that I am reading this!!!

I'm building a hospital addition right now and were putting in Otis Elevators. I'll ask my rep if this is for real.

P

it is for real. I was on a cruise ship and got tired of stopping every floor. Two button combo worked like a charm!

actually it was the first time

basically i was hyping this thing up with her on the way to the elevator, not intentionally. then we tried it and no luck. Not really too interesting...

moral of the story:
1) read stupid stuff on the internet
2) test it out
3) show it off
4) do something else to make an ass of yourself

It works, cool.

Looks like the two straight shots that I had before were coincidence: I got stopped twice today on my way down. So, it does'nt work in the elevators in my office.

Absolutely nothing was lost by trying.
