Works great as long as you also have the override key turned.

I can't link to my personal experiences, unfortunately. Try it out for a few days and see, assuming you live in a busy office building.

I confirm this with my personal experience as well. I was very disappointed.

I don't have a link, but I work in a building with an elevator, and this does not work.

I've tried on Dover and Otis branded elevators. Neither worked.

Otis brand rock. They always have that optimistic yet comforting female voice!

The elevators at the new hospital where I work (<1 year old) have a simpering drunken elf "have a super sunshiny day!" voice for the visitor elevators, and a pissed off "get the fuck out of me" voice for the employees. Oh, and the trick does not work.

I think this was demystified before, on reddit.

Why is there no 14th floor?

[–]nhoff21 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I live in Taiwan and there are no floors ending in 4. It's considered bad luck.

[–]NJDevils30 0 points1 point ago

Seems that there are no floors that involve the number 4. Probably some superstition.

Tried this when I saw it before at my doctors office and it did not work. I tried multiple times, I was quite sad it failed.

Assuming this works at all it is highly unlikely that it is a standard feature. It probably depends entirely on the manufacturer.

Totally does not work on every elevator....cops and the like will usually get the elevator put on service or some such

Anyone tried this? Does it actually work?

I'm excited for the next time i'm in a building with an lift!

It may be a feature on some elevators but I can tell you from personal experience that it hasn't worked on any one I've tried.
