When I went to pick up a friend from hospital and got into this lift, I found the choice of floors rather curious.

Do they have a direct connection to hell?

Unsigned elevator, it tried to go the basement but it underflow and sent the elevator to the sky like in the Charlie and the chocolate factory (2005).

    My guess is “Code 99” / emergency priority.
    Press your floor & then 99 and it heads to your floor without any other stops.

    If anyone can use the elevator, that would mean a lot of false code 99 by clueless people.

    Maybe the manufacturer did not had buttons with negative numbers on stock and improvised?

    I don’t think their idea is correct, but I’m curious how many people you think would press both 99 and the floor they want at the same time without prior knowledge of that outcome?

    Not much, and mostly people touching it by accident or without stop to think that is not the correct and then pressing their desired floor.

    But more than enough to not have an internal trigger for emergency scenarios so accessible to the public.

    This is actually quite common on older elevators where I'm from. I suppose they didn't have the tools to make characters other than numbers in a mass produced way then?

    Where I'm from you will see
    01
    00
    91
    92

    Etc
    Instead of 99 though

    They probably didn't have any B1, B2, etc buttons.
