The print on the elevator’s DOOR CLOSE button was almost worn off. I pointed it out to Mother and said, “I bet there are a few psychiatrists in this building.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Look at the button.”
“So?”
“In the elevator industry, a DOOR CLOSE button is called a pacifier button. They’re installed simply to give the illusion of control to your elevator ride. They’re almost never hooked up to a real switch.”
“I still think you should get a dog.”
Eleanor Rigby
On the other hand, if you wish to actually take control of your elevator ride, simply hold down the destination floor’s button until arrival and you will be transported there with no additional stops (police and firefighter trick)
I’m so testing this out 😉 Thanks!
