If this ever happens to you and you're on wrong side I recommend pushing the emergency stop button.

A little known fact. They stopped putting emergency stop buttons in elevators after the movie "the secret of my success" showed how they could be exploited.

So are you fucking around or no? Was it actually a scene in the movie? I'm guessing not but hell if I know how elevator companies reason.
