People who wrote the damn program to move lifts up and down should be shot.

I press the button to go down on the 10th floor. One lift was waiting at the 11th. Another on the 3rd. Common sense will be to ask the 11th floor lift to move down, and then we all will be happy.

No. The stupid logic of the pile of wiring says "We should give the lower lift some exercise. Let's make it move 7 storeys up. Maybe it's faster."

And if that's not ass fucked enough, it realizes that it fucked up on the calculation, like it never knew 7 is larger than 1, and moves the 11th floor lift down. That one fucking floor.

So, if anyone told you that you shouldn't take a lift in case of a fire, its not because you can get trapped in the damn thing, its more like you will be smothered by just waiting for the godamn thing to make up its fucking mind.

Just nice, time to make another travian move.

lifts does not follow shortest distance first. Lifts will do follow through motion. So if it was going down, it will continue to go down. It's said to be more efficient that way in long run. You will learn it in OS.

You see, that's why HDB flats need fireman poles.
