haha.i'll try after work

I'll try at work!

Don't do this, it will set off the elevator alarm

Whats up with this cheating elivator? its goes 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 FIVE! where is four?

Lefcael,

There's no 14 or 24 either. I find this more interesting than the trick itself.

Not only 4 is missing. 14 and 24 are also missing!

its japanes elevator, in japan 4 mean DEATH. They didnt use 4 for floor or room number.

"in Japanese, the number 4 is literally means death (think 8 and "ate" in English.) Just as Western buildings usually don't have a 13th floor, Japanese numbering systems avoid any use of the number 4."

I dont know Japanese, but the same is with Chinese - 4 and death are pronounced the same (si) - in writing the two words are of course different. and 14 can be pronounced as ( one four - yao si) which can mean - want death.

Fake.

So has anyone tried this trick?

Crazy japs.........:)

Tried this a few months back when I heard this. It does not work on all elevators, as mine did not.

It worked on mine, i went directly from the first floor to the second, worked every time

OH COMPLIKE

OMG this does indeed stop the elevator and the alarm sounds! Don't do this!

We used to use this 30 years ago when I worked for the phone company in a high-rise in Chicago. It worked great (then)!!! ... I've tried it all over the United States since and have never got gotten it to work again. The Fire Department (and Police?) use PASS KEYS to circumvent the system.
