So, has anyone tried it? This could be really useful at some hotels.

@ Evan -- Not sure what there is to defend. I of course wouldn't use this a lot, but we've all been in scenarios where the elevator is full and it continues to stop at every floor. This would be useful in those instances, and actually help to speed up elevator service for everyone.

Glad to see Lucky chiming in on all the comments here and/or either clarifying or defending his comments........ Hmmm I guess it's just easier to let this post get buried and forgotten with time.

Paul S and Tom: The "close door" button <i>does</i> function in most if not all elevators, but not necessarily in normal operation. It's a vital part of "fire mode" operation, in which the door is opened and closed manually, by holding down the "open door" or "close door" button.

I agree with others that if it does work, it is impolite (at best) to use it. How would you feel if you had to wait at the elevator for a long time because everyone else was using it and your floor kept being skipped over?
