WORKER STUCK FOR AN HOUR IN ELEVATOR ON 6-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CAMERON COUNTY LEVEE BUILDING



Special to El Rrun-Rrun

A Cameron County worker in his first day on the job had a devil of a time during the celebration of the 6th Anniversary of the county's Levee Street building (the old Wells Fargo bank). Apparently, the county hasn't totally worked out the kinks of the elevator system because the one he was riding got stuck and the doors wouldn't open at the second floor.

Firemen at the scene said that they had been in touch with the elevator company but that after almost an hour, could not release them from that claustrophobic event and kept trying. We hope this is not a bad omen for the poor county worker whose introduction to county service closed instead of opened doors. If after six years in operation the county keeps opening offices and other buildings around the county, maybe they should get it right the first time instead of half a dozen years later. 

In the 2010 movie "The Devil," five strangers' day begins with an elevator ride in a Philadelphia office tower. But, what happens next is anything but ordinary. The elevator gets stuck, and the trapped passengers, who expected to be together just a few minutes, now face the revelation of their secrets and transgressions. Frightening events turn annoyance into terror, as they begin to realize that one of their number is Lucifer himself.

We've heard that one of the building's elevators talks to the riders to tell them if they are going up or down and on what floor they have arrived. We understand that the county worker was relieved to be released from his temporary incarceration and hope he wasn't cursed by the demon.

Juan, just another low-level worker. No big deal, according to my sources in the building, all higher-ups. It was more funny than serious!

5 Fun Elevator Hacks (how to master the up and down)

In a hurry and need to get to your floor stat? If you live in the city, you’ve probably fallen prey to the jerky elevator hooligans who press a bunch of floors that you have to stop at before you get to your own. Well, now you don’t have to! Here are some second-saving elevator hacks that could see you sailing to your floor in no time at all. These hacks only work on some elevators, so try a couple to find the one that fits your model.

The Hacks
If you want to bypass floors that have been selected by other passengers in the elevator: hold your floor button down, and then press the ‘door close’ button at the same time. The elevator should go straight to your floor, bypassing all the other requested stops. This hack doesn’t work on all models, but definitely works on most OTIS models, DOVER models EL546 and ELOD862, and DESERT models (except for ELD5433 and ELF3655).

If you have a newer model elevator with ‘static sensitive’ buttons (these are the ones that light up when you touch them) and press the wrong button by mistake, press all the buttons. The elevator assumes you are being an elevator hooligan and resets the panel.

If there are a number of people in the elevator at the time, it may assume that there are enough people to justify the number of floor selections. Fear not, all is not lost! Simply ask everyone in the elevator to jump at the same time. When the weight registers as zero, the panel should reset.

If you want to get to your floor in record time, press your floor button and hold it down.

If you want to pop in to a floor for a quick visit and have an elevator with a manual door, simply open the door at your floor and press the emergency button. The elevator will stay on your floor with the door open until someone presses another button. This function is used by emergency personel and actors when they are shooting a scene that features an elevator conversation.

Use these hacks with caution and consideration for others. Pretty please.

Looks like when a city maintenance crew is working on something, everyone is just standing around looking at each other, the only thing missing are the shovels to lean on. LOL.
