thedamnblog.com — "The designers of some elevators include a hidden feature that is very handy if you're in a hurryor it's a busy time in the building (like check-out time in a hotel)."Not tested it myself, but something try.

I hate how people declare somthing an urban ledgend and or fake without testing it first, I just tried this on my work elevator and there is 30 floors, I myself can confirm that this worked on this elevator, but I can imagine that most elevators have this option turned off by now cause its old news!I thank who posted this digg for saving me time haha

I've always done this since I was little and never thought about it being a hack. I discovered this by accident. How about that?!

This REALLY WORKS in my office building in San Francisco. I won't say anymore than that, wouldn't want to disclose the location.Now, with that said, it's a TOTAL dick move to try this with an elevator full of people and you are going to the top floor. :)

I make 3 or 4 unique visits to different buildings each day in Manhattan. I will try this in every elevator I enter. :)

did you try pressing say floor 5 button then pressing floor 25+Door Close and see if it would skip floor 5

yeah. it totally works in my office building. just make sure the "close door" button is functional. many elevators have the "Close Door" button disabled. They are just placebos.
