It can be extremely annoying to be heading down in an elevator from one of the top floors of a tall building, only to have to stop 10 times on your way. My friends, those days are behind us all.
Thanks to an override put in for use by emergency personnel, you can go straight to your floor, flying right past those on other floors who want to delay you. Try it! It works every time.
Doesn't work.
If you are going to plagiarize 5 year old internet posts, at least plagiairize factual ones.
Agreed with Lakawak, emergency response gets the fancy little keys and such, the whole press both buttons at the same time thing doesn't work, or if it does, it only works on one specific model or brand of elevators. Definitely not a standard programming though.
April 1st was yesterday, just FYI.
Uh… great… except that NOBODY gets on the elevator going UP so this doesn't help at all- even if it DID work. I'm not even sure you read your own copy. You start out by saying how annoying it can be to go DOWN from a high floor and then talk about how this "trick" works for going UP. Jeesh. Dates, inaccurate, useless information. "Thanks" for sharing.
Gotta try this out sometime now!
Nice, this is a very cool tip. Wow.

Even if this did work, it's incredibly inconsiderate and rude. Terrible tip.
Older elevators used to have a 'bypass' button which took you direct to your requested floor.
This works but only in hospitals and typically only on freight elevators or elevators that have a direct route from the emergency room to the operating room. Anyplace else is BS.
Sure, screw everyone else. How democratic of you.
Of course, you're a total douchebag if you do this, but who cares if you get to feel clever, right?
Why don't you just leave early enough to get wherever you're going on time?

This doesn't work.
I tried it at four separate locations (at work [50-story bldg], my condo [20 story], my doctor's office [12 story], and a hotel [30-story bldg]). Not a single one.
Test your advice next time.
