I'd rather there be stairs built than adding this to elevators… then we'd save electricity and be more fit… but if there's no choice just hold your kids' hands so they don't press them??

LOL!!! This is too much fun. More elevator manufacturer's with PASSENGER OPERATED cancel buttons can be found here: http://www.fslcn.com/cp/html/?14.html Dave, Dave, Dave. And while I'm here, were you aware that some elevators are intelligent enough to know when the weight inside doesn't logically co-relate to the amount of calls pressed inside the elevator causing them to – you guessed it! – cancel all the calls. LOL!!! I hope Dave never applied his expertise to any of the elevators in MY office building!

Two words: GOOD IDEA! I like it!

It should be an option, enough said!

Sorry folks, Byrd here again but I couldn't resist another post to my man Dave. Check out the Hitachi website highlighting the features of their elevator:

Actually, I just got back from a trip to South Korea. Every elevator I used had the option to cancel your request. If you hit the buttom once, it would light up and go to the floor, if you hit it again, it would cancel the request and go to the next chosen floor. The only time this became a problem was when someone else wanting the same floor absent mindedly presses an already pressed button, thus cancelling thier own, and other's request.

This one is for Dave "50 years in the elevator biz" Balmer: Are you really so arrogant to assume that you have learned – and know – everything there is to know about elevators, or anything else for that matter? The only person who stops learning is the one who dies…and even then they are going to learn about AT LEAST one more thing: Death, not to mention what comes afterwards, if anything. While the internet can be a sketchy source of information at best, all of these people might not be wrong Dave. As an example, I've noticed quite a few of these posters have experience in what are chiefly Asian countries (Japan, Korea); how many of your 50 years experience did you spend working there?

In my old office tower I worked at if you hit ALL the buttons it would clear them ALL and start fresh…never was in the elevator when we actually had someone that needed to get off on every floor. But maybe give it a try .. I have noticed it works in a few other vad'ers…. but if it doesn't work enjoy the ride.
