It happens to me every time..
I am in an elevator which is going up, and it will stop at a floor in transit and a guy will peep in his head asking if the elevator is going down!
10 seconds wasted!
Think of the frustration if it happens five times during one ascent.
I am not sure, who is at fault?
– the guys who press both the [up] and the [down] buttons near the elevator OR
– the company which designed the elevator
If this is about the guys, then they must not be "software engineers" (90% of the companies are software companies in the building in which we are housed). I am very much worried about the quality of code based on their understanding of "how things work"
If this is about the company and the designer of the elevator (which Don Norman will generally like to say because he says in his "Design of Everyday Things" that users are not stupid and it is normally the fault of the designer of the product) then why did we adopted such a flawed design and have standardized it all over the world!
I am confused. Do you have an answer?
Or this only happens in India? Or worse, Does it only happens with me?
Abhi:
It is you.

Yes Dan.
It might be only me!

Haha..
It’s not you at least that’s what I can say.
This is quite normal at least in India.
I have seen this quite a lot of times.
People will keep on pressing both the buttons and will keep on pressing them again and again even if the indicator says it’s been noted…
