      Sometimes feel a bit unreasonably pleased that the Stripe elevators enable floor deselection.

      This is an area where Asia is definitely ahead: not only do all elevators have floor deselection, but the close door button actually works as well

          Double-tap to deselect is a go-to maneuver at my office...

          That's because elevators in Asia have been installed more recently :)

          Cisco Amsterdam office elevators have supported this since at least 2006. I wonder what mysteries keep this feature from the rest of the world...

          Do the elevators also arrive more quickly if you frantically repeat-press the "come fetch me" button?

          How does floor deselection work? I've lived in Asia for 3 years now and never seen that happen before.

          Press the button twice or press and hold (varies)

          The working "close door" button is so key! Having to wait out those 1-1.5 extra seconds in US elevators each time is (also unreasonably) infuriating... 😂

          The close door button doesn’t work on purpose: https://www.sciencealert.com/the-close-door-buttons-in-elevators-don-t-actually-do-anything …

          I’m aware. But they do here, which was my point
