It's an ad, not a lock. The elevator still works.

[–]Ceejae 235 points236 points ago

Too late, Reddit's already got their pitchforks out. Some one has to die.

[–]jabberworx 25 points26 points ago

I'm on hold with Pizza hut, will someone tell me who the fuck I send the pizzas to!?

[–]Ceejae 27 points28 points ago

Make sure you don't pre-pay for the pizzas with your credit card. I've made that mistake like four times. It takes the impact out of the prank.

[–]hibbity 13 points14 points ago

you're a real GGG.

[–]Stratisphear 2 points3 points ago

Are you paying over the phone?

[–]JacobMHS 25 points26 points ago

Eenie, meenie, miney, mo...skittles_shot.

[–]Alymae 8 points9 points ago

The actual skittles_shot's posts are kind of depressing...

[–]pumpkinjello 2 points3 points ago

Or get $600,000.

[–]input 1 point2 points ago

[–]jabulaya 10 points11 points ago

well no shit, sherlock. The joke is in the irony of the situation...

[–]Tacota 18 points19 points ago

Well, dumb fuck, the reason he said that is because he is responding to the title, and the title doesn't make any damn sense.

[–]PerilPhoSho 12 points13 points ago

You should realize this is the /r/funny subreddit, so I think it's more than safe to say the OP made the title as a joke and not trying to make a scientific argument.

[–]Ripuhh 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, well insert mean and insensitive statement here

I still love you

[–][deleted] 117 points118 points ago

The title here doesn't make any sense in regards to the picture...

[–]WIDE_OPEN_BEAVERS 55 points56 points ago

It should be something more like - "Just some guy in a wheelchair being mocked by an elevator door [fixed] [fixed] malachite, NDG [fixed]."

[–]Sephus 3 points4 points ago

[–]mctrigger 4 points5 points ago

because everyone is in a wheelchair?

[–]defiantgerbil 27 points28 points ago

I'd just kick that motherfucker in...

oh...

[–]Stratisphear 8 points9 points ago

I'd run right over to the main office and complain...

oh...

[–]takka_takka_takka 2 points3 points ago

I'm so mad I could stamp my feet... oh...

[–]Tacota 21 points22 points ago

Anyone who thinks this means the elevator doesn't work, you're stupid. Have a nice day.

[–]Made-Up-Fact 1 point2 points ago

I'm stupid, thank you for pointing that out.

[–]Tacota 1 point2 points ago

<3

[–]secondfate 16 points17 points ago

I want the next photo to be him riding his chair that turns into an airplane and flies up all the stairs.

[–]DirtbagAvenger 17 points18 points ago

A Dalek would have no problems going up the stairs.

Just Saiyan.

So what I'm proposing is that all people have their wheelchairs upgraded to the Davros style for free. It would solve so many of our country's problems. It would cause problems, but that's irrelevant.

[–]Vycid 23 points24 points ago

Fun fact: Stairs were the weakness of the original Daleks. It's only more recently that they've been able to levitate up stairs (probably because being unable to go up stairs made them seem cartoonishly inept for what was supposed to be a race of mass-murdering war machines).

PS: The original Dalek episode suggests that the Daleks required a metal floor to run off a static electricity charge, and were unable to leave their metal-floored, electrified city.

[–]AnotherBoredAHole 6 points7 points ago

And then the good Doctor helped them to realise their xenocidal potential.

[–]Stratisphear 4 points5 points ago

Oh my god.

I just realized.

Daleks are Nazis.

[–]Alexi_Strife 4 points5 points ago

It took a conversation about stairs for you to finally draw the comparison? ಠ_ಠ

[–]YouListening 4 points5 points ago

Are stairs also a Nazis greatest weakness?

[–]Alexi_Strife 3 points4 points ago

It's a well known fact that the Nazi forces bombed pearl harbor because they were our leading manufacturer of staircases.

[–]YouListening 2 points3 points ago

Except it was the Japanese that bombed Pearl Harbor. Get your shit together, son.

[–]ajrw 4 points5 points ago

The Nazis delegated, obviously

[–]Malcar 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, the Japanese Nazis. Nazi is just a political party, anyone can be a Nazi, not just Germans you racist.

[–]YouListening -2 points-1 points ago

Nazi is a German political party, as it comes from a German National Socialist Workers' Party. People can be National Socialists, but only Germans can be Nazis.

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 4 points5 points ago

The Nazis couldn't go themselves, since they'd be likely to encounter stairs.

[–]Stratisphear 4 points5 points ago

YES.

[–]widarlein 7 points8 points ago

So the original Daleks weren't really a threat at all?

[–]MissL 12 points13 points ago

only to those on the same flat metal floor as them

[–]philip1201 14 points15 points ago

Or those who were accessible by metal-floored spacecraft, or people employed by the Daleks to exterminate them. In other words the Daleks know how to DE-LE-GATE.

[–]DirtbagAvenger 0 points1 point ago

You can see a reference to this the first time Daleks make an appearance in the new series. Micky even laughs at them, saying something to the effect of "Most dangerous being in the Galaxy and it's defeated by a flight of stairs."

Until it starts levitating.

Another old weakness of the Daleks was paint on the eye stalk. That didn't go so well for Wilfred in the new series.

[–]MelsEpicWheelTime 6 points7 points ago

I have no idea what you just said. All i can say, is that i am paraplegic, and sometimes i have to muscle myself up stairs using the side rail. Also, i got dat relevant username.

[–]Fushifuru 2 points3 points ago

Doctor Who. Watch it. You will not regret.

[–]darkrum 1 point2 points ago

It only makes sense if you start from the original series though. It's still relevant!

[–]the_voice_of_raisins 0 points1 point ago

the original series? can i assume you mean 1963?

[–]darkrum 0 points1 point ago

yeah, what else did you think I meant? If you can put the age difference out of your mind it's some amazing science fiction...

[–]Residual_Entropy -3 points-2 points ago

As a guy who recently saw an episode of Doctor Who, you will regret it because it's shit.

[–]DirtbagAvenger 0 points1 point ago

Those are fighting words round these parts, pardner.

Reddit loves it some Doctor Who.

[–]Residual_Entropy -1 points0 points ago

What can I say? I'm a rebel. The Hivemind will downvote anything it disagrees with; the voting system has been abused for longer than I've been around, it's not like it bothers me.

[–]RamblingStoner 1 point2 points ago

ACCOMMODATE!

[–]jablome 3 points4 points ago

[–]Jesus_luvs_Jenkem 2 points3 points ago

Because most people are paralyzed?

[–]MickiFreeIsNotAGirl 1 point2 points ago

He's on the second floor.
He must have already rolled up one flight, stop being lazy and get to work on the second!

[–]my_cat_is_a_jerk 0 points1 point ago

I was looking for someone else that noticed this. Seems fairly important for the joke to work.

[–]wildlycrazytony 1 point2 points ago

It's the University of Minnesota, methinks!

[–]Darrin3k 1 point2 points ago

This looks to me to be the elevator at the Block E AMC Theater (skyway level) off Henepin Ave. in downtown Minneapolis.

[–]jackchange 1 point2 points ago

Your title... It's bad.

[–]dokydoky 2 points3 points ago

To be fair, he would get a lot of exercise if he somehow got himself up the stairs.

[–]Carvin1988 1 point2 points ago

Funny picture, terrible title. I'm all for the exercise initiatives. With universal healthcare, we are all burdened by the bad health choices of one another. It's important that we all take responsible measures to stay healthy in order for the system to run efficiently.

[–]Aaronerous -1 points0 points ago

That guy is either a surprisingly good sport about the whole thing and is letting you take the picture, or he is just staring at in disbelief.

[–]MatthewMatic 60 points61 points ago

Or he is waiting for the lift, which happens to have an ad on that doesn't apply to him.

[–]pU8O5E439Mruz47w 12 points13 points ago

Doesn't apply? What, he can't climb the stairs with his arms for some reason?

[–]bradleyg5 2 points3 points ago

or posing for a picture that his friend is taking.

[–]GrossEwww 0 points1 point ago

But why would he be waiting so close? He has to let others out before he gets on.

[–]minivan97 1 point2 points ago

everyone else is taking the stairs

[–]andrea905 4 points5 points ago

maybe hes also the guy that posted the picture? dumbasses.

[–]firestarter764 1 point2 points ago

he is

[–]incurableinsomnia 0 points1 point ago

Well fuck..

[–]atlusblue 0 points1 point ago

anyone have that pic of the lift doors opening to stairs? it just seems right

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This kind of thing doesn't work even for the able bodied. They're better off putting up a picture of attractive people and saying if you want to have sex with these people you need to hit the gym.

[–]Spacewolf024 0 points1 point ago

The stairs would be an amazing workout for that guy, especially if he had to lug the chair with him.

[–]trebemot 0 points1 point ago

I know the person in the picture. This is a first.

[–]GDRolfe 0 points1 point ago

Take the stairs anyway. Because fuck them.

[–]arbitraryentry 0 points1 point ago

And a cub scout to boot.

[–]Wookiebeef 2 points3 points ago

Brewers hat is my guess.

[–]I_Empire_I 0 points1 point ago

This is so fucking dumb.

[–]molde028 -2 points-1 points ago

hey is that guy in CBS?

[–]Forhavu 1 point2 points ago

You are atrial ly blind, am I correct?

[–]Roadking7755 0 points1 point ago

100%. Go to school with him at Minnesota!

[–]Withnails -2 points-1 points ago

fucking cripples. ruining it for everyone.

[–]Fraen -2 points-1 points ago

Fuck off with your instagram

[–]treedick2011 -5 points-4 points ago

That has to be super depressing for that guy.

[–]cleagles -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah, I hope he was okay with OP poking fun at him.

[–]maybenot23 0 points1 point ago

OP is that guy.

[–]nelska -1 points0 points ago

9-11-01

[–]uglyfatbroketinycock -4 points-3 points ago

I would have flung my shit filled diaper at the elevator doors... I woulda!

[–]zachpfeif -3 points-2 points ago

Taylor is this you?!

[–]Maybe-Hypothetically -3 points-2 points ago

Man, this was kind of a bummer.
