Hacking an elevator

Apparently lots of elevators have an express mode that lets you override everyone else's selections and go straight to the floor you're going to. You just press "Door Close" and the button for your floor at the same time. Should work on most Otis elvators, as well as a few other models that are out there, but don't blame us when you accidentally go plunging to your death...
I haven't tested this since I haven't encountered any elevators where I live/work/shop since reading this. Perhaps some TYWKIWDBI readers can comment on their experience...

  1. at the hospital where i used to work, you could hold down the button for the floor you were going to and it wouldn't stop anywhere until it got to your floor.
