I lived in a high-rise in the DC area that had these capacitive buttons
with neon backlights in the elevator. On high humidity days, if the AC
wasn't working well the buttons would "spontaneously" set themselves (due
to the humidity). Some days I would return from work only to have
buttons pushed on floors 3 through 18. I lived on the 20th. Also, the
call buttons on the floors would set spontaneously. So frustrating!
Also, the close door function didn't work and the doors would have to
time out before they would close.

An elevator riddle: A man lives on the 20th floor of a high rise
building. Every morning he goes to work and the elevator takes him tothe
lobby where he walks to the train. In the evening, on returning towork he
gets into the elevator and presses the button for floor 12, gets out and_______________________________________________
proceeds to walk up the rest of the way to his condo on the 20th floor.
What's going on? (no, it's not to get the exercise)
