Retarded elevator labeling.
I just went to work in a new building. The building has five floors above ground, a parking garage, and three floors below ground. Simple right? That is nine total stops for the elevator.
I stepped into the elevator from the parking garage level and I am greeted with the dumbest floor labeling I have ever seen.
My destination is the 5th floor; my options are (in the order they are listed on the selector):
LL2
G
M
M2
Basement
1
LL1
4
6
Confused? Me too. I eventually made it to the 5th floor, although there is no 5th floor button. Let me see if I can explain. I'll place the buttons in order from the lowest underground level to the highest above ground level.
LL1 - 3rd Floor, basement, as low as you can go. You might be thinking this was Lobby -1st floor, I know I did.
LL2 - 2nd Floor, basement.
Basement - 1st Floor, basement, one floor below ground level.
M - 1st floor, M stands for "Main Floor". Riiight.
G - 2nd floor, G stands for garage, not "Ground". Again, wtf?
1 - 3rd floor! Huh? This is the first floor that is not a "specialized" floor so it gets the "1" designation.
M2 - 4th floor! M2 stands for "Main Floor 2" because the "second" lobby is here which consists of an "Information" booth that is empty, right outside the elevator doors.
4 - 5th floor! Don't ask, I gave up trying to figure it out.
6 - The sixth floor! Surprise! They got ONE correct!
After stopping at every floor I finally found my office! I have been taking aspirin for a week...
