Hahaha, forget falling to your death, try being beaten to a bloody pulp by a bunch of angry elevator goers. :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/

Haha, its so annoying when you get in the elevator and you're only going to the 7th floor in 18 floor building, and then someone enters and presses "5", and then someone "4", and then "3", and then "6". That has actually happened to me. Well, I wouldnt have the balls to pull this track then anyway, but at least when I'm going from 7 down to 2, i can use it and not have to stop at 5 and 3.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
And I also have a bruise from an umbrella whacking me in the head.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
Some elevators will still make the stops, but never open the doors. If you hold the "Close" and the floor you want to go to, the elevator may stop on the floor, but the doors stay shut. After a few seconds the elevator will start moving back towards the floor you pressed.

This is very amusing because the doors are not sound proof. We could always hear people yelling that the doors wouldn't open as we were holding the buttons.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
And, if you enter an elevator where people are already going to different floors, coes it override, or just work when you enter a "fresh" elevator and want to bypass stops?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Crosswalk Button Hacks

Great to know this. My friend actually build elevators for one of two company's who do it in the state of Washington. I'm guessing he knows this but I'm not sure. I'll have to ask him. Can't wait to use this and tick people off lol.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/

What really sucks is if you mess up the code you are headed to all 3 floors. Bring a Snickers for the ride.

Fear not 'andy', this a gadget (read: GEEK) blog. Even in 2005, even post Bill Gates financial explosion to hell-god-emperor-billionaire people STILL don't take us geeks all that seriously.

The vulgar masses will get nothing from this posting...

Besides, judging by all the URL's in the comments this is a known 'hack' and it's ALREADY on the nets. No biggy...

Thanks (again) engadget!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
All of which worked great until about 15 people got stuck in there for an hour one night, I suspect because they were trying to bump floors.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
The first place that I saw this was on www.collegehumor.com so I think there may be a greater amount of people that have learned about this trick than you think.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/02/elevator-hacking/
But you think wasting other peoples' time in real life is funny?
