Magical Elevators don't exist...sorry.

So, I've been noticing this a lot at where I work, most of the time if I notice they're not sure which way to go, I ask, verify, etc etc, and let them go on their way, sometimes going into the elevator if I have to go that way anyways. No big deal. But some of these guys? Get on the elevator on Main, they plan to go up to the 5th, or down to the sub-basement, where ever they try to go, there are a few floors in between them, yet STILL, the first chance the elevator stops, whether in the wrong direction or not, they hop off....then proceed to look confused. What were expecting? Especially when trying to go to the 5th floor...you uh, think it's a magical elevator? Sorry, this isn't Harry Potter....as much as I WISH it was, but THAT'S a different discussion at a different time. Why don't you guys pay attention? See which way the light-up arrow is pointing before going for a ride in the different direction? Look at the light-up number that indicates what floor it's on? Or even better, ask one of our volunteers at the front desk if you're unfamiliar with the building? It doesn't hurt to ask, and that's what they're there for, to help direct you, try to answer any questions you have.... I'll admit, I've done that before, but understood my mistake once in the elevator. Oh well, silly me. ....I wish magical elevators really did exist....
