    They are all lying to us!

    Manufacturers reveal 'close door' buttons on elevators make no difference | Daily Mail Online

    The 'close door' button on your elevator is a scam! Manufacturers reveal buttons make no difference
    The close button in an elevator has been obsolete since the 1990s
    This suggests those installed are fake and do not close the doors faster
    This is true for crosswalks in New York City and some office thermostats
    Experts say these placebo mechanism promote the illusion of control
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    This is definately not true, in my lift at the flat here (Denmark) if you don't press it nowt happens for ages, when you do, it all happens and I get in the flat well earlier!

    Very useful if I'm dying for a wank.

      I hope the lift doesn't have CCTV.

        Probably more useful to others in that situation.

            Hope you wash your hands after touching that

            As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."
