Video Proof of the Elevator Floor Skipping Hack

Here’s proof of that urban legend, the floor-skipping elevator hack, that we heard about a few months ago. This also proves most of the world is full of selfish a’holes (including us). In case you forgot, holding your destination floor and the close buttons simultaneously is said to put elevators into an express mode, passing all other stories like Superman flying up the side of the building. We have no clue whether this will work on some, most or all elevators, and our home ownership offers us no way to test the theory. So to anyone living in an apartment or vising the office today, try this hack out and let us know if it works in the comments. Because we’re all on a need to know basis here.

    That is not proof, he could have been doing that at a time when there is no other people using the elevator. He needs somebody to film from outside, pressing a call button.

    Shouldn’t you be using the stairs to help the diet?

    I’m keen to try this. Seems very plausible.

    Appeared to work for me when I was using lifts about 10 times today, but it wasn’t busy so I am not sold yet.

    the money shot would have been if he had selected a floor in between the starting floor and destination floor and it skipped it.
