Why this happens with me?

Try using the steps, Deepak. I almost never use an elevator. I don't like them since i got stuck in one. TATA.

I think it is very common thing Deepak--for the pen that we pick in a hurry not to write, for the particular thing that we search not to be found[if we are searching for a particular paper in a sheaf of papers, we would lay hands on all the others except what we want] many buses except what we are looking for would pass by us in a bus stand. This would be a frequent occurrence. I would suggest you beat this by going to the lift 5 minutes earlier or later.If you meantally prepare yourself that your lift would arrive after 5 minutes[like the scheduled departure and arrival of a train ], then you will be pleasantly surprised if it arrives earlier.

It's the same concept of when you are late, all the traffic lights turn red. It is called the Law of Attraction. If you keep thinking that this will continue to happen to you, it will. But if you stop thinking about it or better still, think that the elevator is going to be on the right floor every time you use it, it will. All the best!

Hi dpk! Great to see you, as always dear friend! I would think that of all the people on the Lot that you would already know the answer to this perplexing question! The elevator is NEVER where you want it to be! It is always the opposite! I have found this to be true no matter how many times I have had to ride in them. If you need to go up they are all the way down and if you need to go down they are on the top floor! You have proved the theory that it isn't just me who has this problem!

I used to work in a high rise building and had the same problem. A great deal of patience was required when I used to come in or go home but the most frustrating was during the day when I used to have to go to other floors as part of my job. I would like to know just how many hours I spent waiting for an elevator which was never on the right floor at the right time, ever! I suppose I could have used the stairs but I had to go from floor 11 to floor 44 at times!

LOL deepak, that is too much to expect in a public building where the lift is catering to many offices and people. I have always had this experience and I cannot recall a single instance when the lift has been handy and I could quickly get in and go wherever I want, instead I keep waiting for a long time...all the best deepak, have a nice weekend

Not all the time...but it happens to me often. I stay on the 6th floor...and most often than not...the elevator is on the Ground floor when I need to go down...and on the 7th floor when I need to go up. There are to lifts but only one is operational to save on electricity. But I have to admit this 'problem' arises often when I need to go down...that's when I am rushing somewhere....usually I don't mind waiting a bit when I am coming back home...but at that time...the lift is almost always on the Ground floor..lol

Hi dpk, as what I have learned from my experience, the elevator usually would stop at the floor where the last user or users stepping out. Let say I'm the only passenger in the elevator and after I have reached my destination. The empty elevator with door closed would stop at the same floor I supposed. It would go up or down depending on whether the following user pressing the up or down button. That's why sometimes we are "fortunate" that we could go in the elevator straight away and no need to wait. I observe this from using the elevator frequently when spending holiday in the 23 floors tall apartment where my son lives. I do use the 28 floors building elevator often situated in a hilltop resort where my husband likes to go for vacation several times a year. It's fun to share with you on this interesting topic I hope my description doesn't make you blurred... Take care and have a nice day

No This doesn't happen to me. My work is on one floor.I assume you Finally got home to write this post, lol!

dpk since you are in a large building and there must be a lot of other people who use the elevator why do you assume it will always'be on the floor you need it on, as all the other people also must go to work in the morning and also leave for home in the afternoon. So someone will have to wait.I can but imagine that for each person who is patiently waiting there is somone already going up or coming down. I think nowhere is it written that the elevator must be on your floor just when you need it and on the bottom floor in the morning just when you need it. You are just one of all the people in the building. of course it has happened to me, but whats a lot more maddenting to me is when I will be late to a Dr's appt. and I am just ready to step on the elevator and the people do not even try to make room for me. So wait and am five minutes late because people were to rude to make room for one more. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hi dpk! Ha ha - I think the same too!! Last year when I was pregnant, I had a condition in which I had to go to the doctors office all the time. I was always late in getting to the hospital . . . getting to the actual location, finding parking which was always packed, and walking over to the office. The office was located on the third floor . . . and I ALWAYS had to wait for the elevator on top of being late as it was. It may have been quicker to go walk up the stairs (but you know how that goes). Elevators must do it on purpose - hee hee. And for some reason elevators ARE on the right floor at the right time when you are there are your leisure, right??

I haven't experience something as weird as this. Well, just maybe, that elevator is having some troubles and it need some fix immediately. Or... just maybe, there is something that is disturbing the atmosphere in that elevator. A lost spirit perhaps. I hope that you will not get scared. It was just an assumption of my wild imagination.
