DigiDame learned a new elevator trick today, but if you share it with too many people, it won’t work anymore. The whole exclusivity thing goes right out the window. In order to share with others, make sure they are a member of the DigiDame club.

That means they subscribe to my blog. If they don’t receive an email blast from my WordPress blog in the wee hours of the morning, then they don’t deserve to know the following. Pinky swear that you will shut them out.

This will only work for believers. Like Peter Pan says, “You have to believe.” This is for everyone who enjoys an express elevator ride. No stopping for the other guy. Just look straight ahead and act as innocent as you can.

Remember, you now have a first class ticket, bypassing all other stops on your way to your hotel room or apartment in the sky.

Step into the elevator and face the door. Note your room assignment and keep in mind which floor you need to press on the display panel at the front of the elevator. Some elevators have two panels, one on either side of the door, while others have only one.

Prepare to hold down two of the buttons on the panel at the same time before the door to the elevator starts to close. Press the number button for the floor you need and the button that closes the elevator door simultaneously. Note that the designation for the button that closes the door may show two arrows facing each other.

Hold the two buttons down together for at least five seconds to make the elevator go straight to your floor. Ignore the confused looks of the other patrons riding the elevator and enjoy your nonstop ride to your floor.

Remember, you have to believe. Then it works.
