      It’s pretty suspicious that going up 2 floors in an apartment building takes as long as going up 10 floors in an office building.

        Lol, elevator speed is a cost thing. Gotta keep those office grunts at their desks working(they also move a lot more people and if you get a fast elevator you cut down the number needed .

          To be fair it’s also a capacity thing. If an elevator goes more slowly it can carry more weight. People moving in/out of apartments might need to carry furniture, while usually office elevators just have to carry people.

            Partly true. People weigh a LOT and I mean a LOT for the amount of space they take up in the elevator.

              I’ll have you know, I’ve been losing weight, so don’t lump me in with those people.

                That just means an extra person crams increasing the risk weight!
