Hacking Elevators 101!

"The designers of some elevators include a hidden feature that is very handy if you're in a hurry or it's a busy time in the building (like check-out time in a hotel). While some elevators require a key, others can be put into 'Express' mode by pressing the 'Door Close' and 'Floor' buttons at the same time."

I live on the ninth floor and frequently have to stop for people too lazy to walk down three flights on stairs. Worse, they're typically talking on cellphones. So it's a fair bet I'll try some elevator-hacking in the foreseeable future.
