In my previous apartment there was a strange, doorbell-like button in the middle of one of the walls. I pressed it once in a while, but it never seemed to do anything.
It also seemed very unlikely that the floorplan of the building had ever put a door near it, so I'm guessing it was a placebo button for some previous resident.

- mhb 16y agoI have a switch in my apartment... it doesn't do anything.... Every once in a while, I turn it on and off.... One day I got a call... it was from a woman in France.... She said "Cut it out".... -- Stephen Wright
