I won't mention why I ran into this...you can figure it out anyway. I am currently unemployed (yeah, it sucks) so I don't have access to many elevators these days. Still...I want to try this. So if anybody spends their days in and out of elevators, give this a try. All I ask for in return is a post letting me know if it works. Also, if you can remember the elevator make, post that as well!

Here's the full post.

"...So I found this info surfing the net one day and its been sitting on my computer for a long time now, forgotten about, so I thought I would post it. Now that I am posting this it will prob cause chaos to people waiting for elevators everywhere, I will not be held responsible for your actions, plus like I said, I found it on the net. hehe.

"The designers of some elevators include a hidden feature that is very handy if you're in a hurry or it's a busy time in the building (like check-out time in a hotel). While some elevators require a key, others can be put into "Express" mode by pressing the "Door Close" and "Floor" buttons at the same time. This sweeps the car to the floor of your choice and avoids stops at any other floor. This seems to work on most elevators that I have tried! Most elevators have the option for this to work, but on some of them the option is turned off by whoever runs them. This is a rather fun hack, so the next time you are on an elevator, give it a try, you have nothing to lose, And this concludes Hacking Elevators 101!"
