I read this from the Make website today. Apparently by pressing the “close door” button and the button of the floor you want to go to, you can make certain elevators go into “express” mode where they will take you directly to your floor without any stops bypassing anyone else who may be waiting.
I am going to try this at work today and in any other elevator I get in. I won't really know if this works unless the elevator stops then I know it doesn't work. I love little secrets like this that not a lot of people are aware of.
