Nicely retold Michael. I heard of a plan a while ago to put TVs in lifts. I'm not too sure that's really a good idea: lifts are one of the final bastions of the advertisement-free utopia we all dream of. God bless Lano and Woodley. Nicely retold Michael.

Perhaps something might be lost in the retelling, but basically it involved Lano and Woodly pretending to be cleaning outside the lift as passengers entered. As soon as the doors close, they would then race up the stairs to the next floor and resume the same positions they were in before just as the lift doors open. This was repeated a number of times with confusion beginning to grow on the passengers faces. Eventually they were caught out after the lift doors were opened on the same floor they had just closed on, exposing them in the act of running up the stairs.

Generally looks like I should just pay more attention in lifts then huh? No more texting in lifts for me, its recital of tele-drama theme tunes and counting the numbers...Yay.

Although may contribute to inability to locate correct floor, v distracting... :) When i’m in lifts I think of “scenes-in-lifts” : Bridget Jones, Gibbs’ little chats with Ziva on NCIS, Turk singing into his dictaphone (Scrubs) etc. etc.

Because we have absolutely NOTHING better to worry about then the colour of the floor numbers when we are designing a building... put your 21st century, 'must always be doing something' mentality on hold for a second, keep your phone in your pocket, and just stand there, counting the numbers and relaxing.

Maybe they could have it so that you need prox card elevator access to these floors so that disabled students could use it, same as you need a prox card to get to level 10. Solves the problem all at once. Oh, and yeah, pay more attention.
