Stuck in an elevator...

I was in the elevator of a friend's condo in Yaletown, on my way down to ground level. The elevator stopped at the 19th floor and a lady rushed in, used her fob, pressed P1, and instead of hitting the button to close the elevator doors, she hit the alarm button by accident.

The elevator stays on that floor with the doors wide open, and of course alarm goes off. I stood there and thought, 'Oh great. I'm going to be stuck here all day!'. The phone rang in the elevator and after awhile the elevator was moving and we were on our way down.

I looked at the elevator button panel and realized how easy it was for her to make the mistake. The button to close the elevator doors was right next to the alarm button. Anyone who was in a rush would have easily pushed the wrong button. Why in the world would you put the alarm button so close to a button that a lot of people push?!

The developer you ask? I think it was built by CP. Talk about bad design...
