Strange Signs III

This twelve step set of instructions on how to use an elevator well can be found in buildings around Brazil. Who knew it was so complicated!

1. Extinguish your cigarette in the appropriate location. It’s the law.
2. To call the elevator, push the button. It is not necessarily to push the button more than once and it may even damage the mechanism.
3. Wait for the elevator calmly. Do not take out your impatience on the equipment.
4. Before entering the elevator, make sure that it has arrived at your floor.
5. The elevator door is an additional security measure. Do not use any force or pressure on it.
6. Let people exit the elevator prior to entering it.
7. All elevators have a limit to the number of people who can be in it at one time. Please respect these limits.
8. Your ride will be more comfortable and quick if you only push the button of your desired floor.
9. Before entering the elevator, deposit your garbage in a can outside the elevator. Do not throw your garbage on the elevator floor.
10. Do not let children use elevators by themselves.
11. In the case of any abnormality, press the emergency button and calmly wait for help.
12. If you are only going up one floor, or down two, use the stairs. In addition to being healthier, it leaves the elevator free to attend other calls more quickly.

And there you have it! My personal favourite is the recommendation to not take out your impatience on the equipment!
