Elevator Button Pushing Poll

[se7en]

So I work in a hospital and I notice this alot:

How many times do you really need to push the elevator button?

 

[thraxes]

You only really need to push it once... but to emphasize that you are in a hurry, push it a few more times, won't make it faster but it feels good.

 

[SaintGRW]

once, unless someone really annoying is talking to me then I push it alot in hopes that it goes faster!

 

[FoBoT]

3 times, very quickly

 

[tranceport]

I have found that a PUSH and HOLD technicque does infact speed the process of the door's opening.

See i push all the buttons. that way it saves time when other people get on.

Ramius: one ping only please

 

[blackdogdeek]

i push twice to make sure i don't hit it too lightly the first time

 

[CraigRT]

I usually push it a few times... If I get really pissed off I push it really hard.

 

[Confused]

The lift at work needs a random amount of presses.

Sometimes (very rarely) it's 1, and is almost often more than 5

Confused

Once is more than sufficient

Thats like people pushing the walk signal button at an intersection. I noticed the average person pushes it 8-10 times when once is all you need.

one time, hard, with my knuckle

There are two in my office building and one of them you either have to push the floor button twice or hold the button to get the doors to close sooner(door close button does nothing). The other one after you hit the floor button if you hit the door close button the doors will slide shut sooner and it wil get on it's way.

Once, pushing it more than that is totaly pointless no matter how slow the elevator is.

Fact: In many cases, the elevator "Close door" button is disconnected completely and is only there as a pacifier.

I keep pushing it until the elevator door opens.

 

[Nitemare]

Floor button once, then close door button.




After exiting I punch all the buttons and laugh... :evil:

It sure seems like pushing it more changes the light faster...

I wait until the door opens on my floor then, if no one is around, I slide my hand down all the buttons.

I was taught that at our hospital, the elevator is programmed so that if you hit the button twice, the door closes sooner. I haven't heard about it anywhere else.

Button? I would just stand there until it opened, run in. When the door opened again, the surroundings would change. I vowed to never use one of those things again. I may end up on mars or something!
