How to take an elevator without stopping for a change: a life hack for those who don’t want to ride with strangers
The elevator car stops at each floor where other passengers were waiting. The prospect of sharing such a small, and even closed, space with a stranger is not very encouraging. Now I know how to get to the desired floor in splendid isolation at any convenient moment.
How to ride an elevator without companions: a useful life hack
One day at work, we were talking with a colleague, and she casually mentioned that when she returns home late at night, she always presses two buttons in the elevator so that no one will sit down with her. Then I didn’t attach any importance to this, thinking that a model of elevator was installed in her house, which by default allows you to pull off such a trick. But a few months later, she told a story about how she forgot to press the second button and so she had to go from the third floor to the sixteenth in the company of a very boring neighbor. Then I, more to keep the conversation going than out of curiosity, asked what this magic button was and what the name of the elevator model where it was installed was.
In response to my question, my colleague opened her eyes in surprise and said that almost all elevators “can do” this. Moreover, not only in residential buildings, but also in public institutions - for example, when she studied at the institute, the cabin was completely filled with students on one floor.Therefore, in order not to waste time on “idle” stops on other floors, they pressed two buttons at once and drove straight to their destination.
And then she told me how it works:
- You need to press the button with the number of the desired floor and the button to close the door.
- Do not release the buttons until the end of the trip.
However, this trick only works with more or less new elevators. In the old ones there is simply no button to close the door, so they have to use another method - having noticed that the elevator is about to stop, the person must have time to press “Stop”, and then again the button with the number of their floor.
When you can’t travel alone: features of modern elevators
Old and not the newest elevators are easily amenable to such manipulations. But modern cabins are designed to minimize outsider interference in the operation of the system. Of course, they have a button to close the door, but it is programmed in a cunning way. As soon as the elevator starts moving, any signals from it simply stop coming, and pressing it does not give the expected effect. So you won’t be able to travel on a brand new and beautiful elevator without fellow travelers.
Now you know how you can avoid meeting a potentially dangerous person in the cabin of a well-worn elevator. By the way, now this life hack has another reason to use it - coronavirus. It is undesirable to be in a small confined space with strangers, since the risk of infection is too high, and not everyone puts on a mask before entering.
Bored alone? I would love to go with someone and talk to you
You forgot to write that the method only works if you press the buttons with your left hand and only while standing with your back to them. Doesn't work any other way
Pressing the “Stop” button while moving on elevators with an underfloor (the elevator floor is slightly lowered) risks getting stuck in it. In elevators with “sticky” buttons, it is enough to hold one button for the required floor.
The elevator collects passengers by floor, when it moves down according to orders in the elevator, why are you fooling people?
The elevator collects passengers both when moving down and when moving up, regardless of orders in the cabin, so you are definitely powdering people's heads.
Will people on the floors stand and wait while this chicken rides alone?
It's scary to travel with someone, walk up the fire escape!
That’s right) let her go on foot, the maniac won’t go up the stairs))) is he just waiting for her in the elevator?
The elevator picks up “fellow travelers” only when moving down. Don't want to share the elevator with anyone? Walk downstairs.
And regarding all these methods, I will say that there are a lot of types of elevators, and they all work according to different algorithms.In addition, maintenance staff can block some functions so that “especially smart” ones do not create problems for other residents of the house.
And then the elevators break down... When you press the stop button, be prepared to be stuck in the elevator for a long time.
You probably have special software installed. As a manufacturer of elevators and a little understanding of the elevator operation algorithm, of. I inform you that the “close doors” button only works in the exact stop zone of the cabin. Alas, then it is completely ignored by the control system; ECOMAKS elevators are not designed to move with the buttons constantly pressed. The central controller (CPU or PKL 32) has received the command and is no longer interested in your actions with the “ZD” button
Not all lifts can do this. I said only a few. No need to lie like that
it's time for you to get treatment
Learn your native language! -tsya and -tsya repeat.
In your case, the elevator picks up fellow travelers only when moving down. And the door button only works on the boarding floor at an exact stop (not to be confused with the cancel button). Author, it’s healthier for you to walk and spend more time in the fresh air!
If you cover both buttons with blue electrical tape, the elevator will move faster
And with us, you won’t have to sit anyone down: it’s like that to heaven!
Fuck you Egorka, collect the bulls and don’t expect any handouts from me. I've been in prisons longer than you and I didn't expect any handouts from anyone.
This method works in my elevator. Sometimes I use it when I’m traveling with a stroller and still no one can fit in the elevator.
