I've seen people hit the door close button immediately as an elevator arrived at a floor or immediately as they enter it, no matter who is waiting behind them.

I've seen people hit the door close button immediately as an elevator arrived at a floor or immediately as they enter it, no matter who is waiting behind them. It doesn't work, but they try it anyway.
If you allow the button to do that, quite a few people would abuse it.
In my opinion, there are enough bad actors to justify preventing them from abusing the system.
- account42 4y agoPerhaps that is due to them mistakenly thinking that there is a delay between pressing the button and the door closing (rather then a minimum time the door is open) so they might as well press it early.
- midoridensha 4y agoThe solution is simple: have cameras in all the elevators in the city, all connected to an AI control system, which observes all the people using the elevators and their use of the buttons. The AI system determines which people are assholes abusing the door-close button, and ignores the button when they press it. As a bonus, it frequently ignores them if they're the only person requesting an elevator, and sometimes locks them in the elevator for a few minutes when they're riding alone, and then alters the video footage to hide this occurrence, so they look insane when they complain about it.

- midoridensha 4y agoOk, it might be a little bit of a challenge. But I think the results would be worth it. In addition, the elevators should all have microphones and speakers in them, so the AI control system can talk to the asshole inside. When he demands to let out, the AI can say, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do."
- djmips 4y agoOK that last part just sold it to me. No all you need is investors.
