> > The last one happened today. Again, I was going down for lunch and some guy was in it when I got in on the third. He seemed ready to get out when I got in, but halted when he saw it was the third. A lot of people wanted lunch around then and the lift stopped at second and third before getting to ground. Each time the guy was ready to jump out as soon as the door opened. He was standing opposite the clearly visible LED floor indicator the entire time.

Unfortunately not. He wanted lunch the same as everyone else because I watched him stride off to the cafeteria. Anyone who works in that building knows that the cafeteria is on the ground floor. I think his hunger was making him impatient and he couldn't wait to get food.
