Well they were hitting the "close doors" button on the inside of the "elevator" while the girl was hitting the "call elevator" button which seems pretty unusual, so I guess in that situation it is actually common.
Lol to the person downvoting this. エレベータ or erebēta is the actual japanese word for it. I just changed it to be more phonetically congruent with hoe out would be written in English
Close door buttons have done regulations around accessibility, and usually they're only for show in the US. Most people assume that they're speeding it up by hitting the button anyway, since the period of time they hold open is so short.
Yes they do. But the doors don’t behave like shown. You can’t close the door midway while it is opening. It’s a safety feature. Once the electronics decide the door should open, it opens all the way. However you can stop a closing door by pushing the open doors button. Any elevator that does not respond to close button sometimes respond by pushing the floor selector button. Sometimes older ones just don’t respond at all.
Being in the construction field. When it is operator mode you have to hold the close door button till the door closes all the way before the elevation be used.
No. They’re really just there for show. The elevator will open or close when it feels like it. Nothing short of sticking a body part into the opening will change that.
The OPEN door buttons work most places. The close door buttons are usually for show because even when they're used, it usually closes so soon that people assume it's because they pushed the button anyway.
Open Door buttons usually work. But there's some regulations around the close door buttons that make them effectively useless, I think, as an accessibility issue.
Not entirely true. I spoke to a corporate building manager in NYC once and he said that elevators can be programmed to have their open/close buttons actually function or not.
I agree. But please… can we figure out our fucked up the bathroom situation before that? The situation: our public bathrooms are fucking disgusting, there’s never enough of them, and we also need to normalize bidets.

This trick hinges entirely on their ability to all start ducking simultaneously and they fuckn nailed it.
TerribleBot
There's probably one of them giving the start
LoopStricken
Like the one closing the door?

absolutely.

Not sure what about this is in anyway specific to Japan, isn't this every elevator?

Close door button isn’t connected to anything in the USA.

I doubt that you can fit 3 Japanese girls in every elevator.

It's kinda weird seeing regular Japanese school girls on the internet rather than cosplay or the like.

lmao, I didn't actually expect them to emulate the elevator moving
LoopStricken
I actually expected it because, you know, that's the joke.
macrolet
What do you mean emulate? Clearly they were going downstairs.
3Davideo
Of course they're not going down stairs. There's no stairs in sight!
ArgentXero
That's what the elevator is for!

Would be more impressive if they were going up.

Close door buttons actually work in Japan, and they do jam the buttons like that, from my experience.
TeamToasterNeverForget
From my experience in Japan you also spend about 1/3 hours awake in an elevator.. especially if working in an office building
ziggystardust7
20 minutes? that's not too bad
TeamToasterNeverForget
HourS.. plural..
Hazz526
Does that mean you also spend 2/3 hours asleep in a work place elevator?

If you play your cards right, yes.

Do they not work in your country? I'm confused.

I've seen some elevators like that here (France), they're usually on the older side, but most actually have working buttons.
MissChickle
Not entirely true. I spoke to a corporate building manager in NYC once and he said that elevators can be programmed to have their open/close buttons actually function or not.
BeardicPerformance
That makes complete and total sense and explains why they’re there even though they don’t work; they’re functional when built but they’re turned off.
IWasGoingToMakeEspresso
You can even cancel a trip to the wrong floor after accidentally pushing a button by pushing it again.

We really need to work out other problems in the states first, but I'm adding this to my list once that's done and after daylight savings.

By “before that”, I mean before we fix elevators.

Public bidets require floor drains because motherfuckers will leave those things running squirting water straight up into the air
