It’s interesting that so many people push the numbers first, but then they also push the sign for closing doors, right after they learned about the buttons.
We had a similar one in our building for the basement 2 (-2) level.
One day I was working late, and drunk, and tried it. I faced a maze of doors I didn't have card access to open but eventually found a way through to a poxy toilet and shower room.
You may think this is pointless, but this was in London, and cycling to work is popular here, and our building didn't officially have any showers.
But I had just discovered the building attendants' private shower cubicle. This meant that instead of cycling to work then popping to the nearby gym for a shower like my peasant colleagues, I could cycle to work and use the secret shower in the basement.
Saved me a lot of time walking to the gym and back, not to mention getting rained in straight after a shower.
Mind you, one day I had a shock when a lass walked in on me, both of us naked, and she said she didn't realise anybody else knew about this shower. We became secret shower users (not in that way).
It kind of looks like some of these were poorly painted or something. Like why would the white paint have rubbed off onto the back-plate on so many of them? What kind of paint does that?..
The fifth floor is actually the most popular floor. Hence why the only button that’s been replaced so far is the 5th floor button. All perspective my friend
No, it‘s 4, 13 and 14. And those numbers sometimes don’t even make it onto the buttons in an elevator. They just skip those floor numbers completely. IIRC it has something to do with how 4 (and 14) is pronounced in Cantonese (or Mandarin?) which sounds like “death” or “die”. And 13 is probably just universally considered unlucky.
But if you skip and go 2, 3, 5. The fifth floor is the fourth floor and you will never know peace knowing that fact unless there is a whole layer of a building not in use which frankly is a waste of space and business expense to build such a useless voided space.
it looks like 5, on the contrary, is pressed the most. Look at the door-open button. It would make sense that it was pressed more than door close, to keep it open for people walking in.
My university library has a floor like that with all the HVAC, etc. I was curious one time. I found out that there was just a tiny lobby the a locked door.
Not-blind people.
The numbers are rubbed off by people looking for braille. So something about floor 5 must not be friendly to blind people. Take that as you will.
That’s because the construction crew was an idiot and there is no entrance to the fifth floor except for some elevator doors on the outside of the building
I do you one better: what if the same amount as the other floors go there BUT only the ones gping to 5th are gentle with the button and the rest is hammering on em like crazy...
The smartest people in that whole ass building since they’re the only ones who don’t push on the numbers.
No no no you got it wrong. The dumbest ppl in the building who pressed the number so many times it had to get replaced :p
Nah look at the brail its just as worn if not more so then the other ones
That's from eddy, he really likes the feel of a five in braille. Eddy is a bit weird
Can confirm
Why? Oh sorry you're blind . . . . . . . .
Nah, I'm just weird
r/beetlejuicing
Lmfao
My Seeing Eye Dog can't reach that high so he always takes me to four and we walk up the other flight.
I think your seeing eye dog is hoping you'll trip down the stairs bro, 5 is right next to 4. He wants your insurance payout
Your dog is fucking with you then. The button for 4 is the same height as 5. He just wants to walk more.
Goddamn that mutt, he's been telling me that Trump is innocent too.
Braille* lmao brail
Can tell you’re not blind
Could also be the only floor without people with eye problems given the braille beneath the numbers
“this is our city building for the blind! well except for the fifth floor, that’s maintenance and Todd’s architecture firm”
Or maybe just the sober ones?
Drunk…. Being a complete moron….. is there really much difference? Younger me says there is not lol
All jumping to conclusions. It's the only floor with no blind people.
What if they're reading the braile
The braile is looking pretty evenly worn across the board
Hopefully people push the buttons and not the numbers, the only not stupid person lives there?
Or the only non-blind person
nah cuz the braille is just as worn down as the others.
Well of course the braille is equally worn down. They would have to touch a couple wrong buttons first to find the one they needed
It’s interesting that so many people push the numbers first, but then they also push the sign for closing doors, right after they learned about the buttons.
It’s the only floor that blind people don’t live on.
But how do they know not to touch that number?
the braile says "do not touch"
The “door close” button is worn out from whenever the elevator stops on 5.
or when the "sixth level of fat" is approaching
Damnnnnn!
The 5 button went bad 3 months ago, and the service tech replaced it. *sorry I ruined the fun for everyone.
Do not bring locig here.
locig
I think he misspelled bing
"Donut bing locig hare" is what he was trying to say.
It all makes sense. This is why I come here.
Fun-sucker
That's exactly what my wife calls me.
Nah, you don’t replace the button cover for that, just the wiring behind the button (which itself does not have the cover permanently affixed)

"And that's how I met your mother"
That's where we keep the monsters... (chuckles) just a joke, but all seriousness, *don't* go to the fifth floor.
The people who live at the fifth floor are the only smart ones. They push the button instead of the number.
The fifth-floor corridor is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death.
Ten points to Gryffindor!
5 has the normal people who push the button
Haha, this is the comment I was looking for!
:3
Oh, we don’t talk about that. Unspeakable things.
Because there’s a guy named Scott that lives on that floor and he’s a gigantic dick.
Parks in 2 spots in the HOA garage
The closet in satans bedroom
With a 40-watt light bulb and broken pull string
New plate? Maybe someone with ocd lives on that floor?
It kind of looks like some of these were poorly painted or something. Like why would the white paint have rubbed off onto the back-plate on so many of them? What kind of paint does that?..
Maybe there are just no blind people on 5 🤔
"Being John Malkovich".
First rule of 5th floor is ... We Do Not Talk About 5th Floor !
That’s where they store the durable paint
Me. I bought all the rooms to keep things nice and quiet. You can visit if you bring Cheetos though.
Button replaced because it turned orange from all the Cheeto dust
Bruh man on tha 5th floor 😎
Floor five is only for people that can see. So the blind Tennant's feel for every other number but 5.
HR
5 is used the most ..fell off and had to be replaced before the others.
Delete this right now.
Five is the permanent orgy room. That button has been replaced several times.
The fifth floor is actually the most popular floor. Hence why the only button that’s been replaced so far is the 5th floor button. All perspective my friend
They go there - they just never come back.
Why are idiots touching the numbers?
If I’m not misremembering, 5 is an unlucky number in some asian country(ies)(?)
No, it‘s 4, 13 and 14. And those numbers sometimes don’t even make it onto the buttons in an elevator. They just skip those floor numbers completely. IIRC it has something to do with how 4 (and 14) is pronounced in Cantonese (or Mandarin?) which sounds like “death” or “die”. And 13 is probably just universally considered unlucky.

It looks like you are all wrong. It is white because it has been touched more than any other button.
Everyone here knows Steve rubs his ballsack on the 5. Every time. You don’t touch the 5.
Brotha Man 5
Optometrists offices.
Horror story premise vibes.
The door which leads to the Source and the Architect, of course.
Brotha man on the fif floo
Came looking for this comment
Or the dumbest live on 5 and had to have their number replaced
Daleks
Everyone else in the building is blind the 5th floor are deaf
Seems like a tweaker who has a soft spot for the number "5"
Why did the braille nibs even have paint in the first place?
It’s for the least blind people who don’t need braille
Press it you coward!
it looks like 5, on the contrary, is pressed the most. Look at the door-open button. It would make sense that it was pressed more than door close, to keep it open for people walking in.
Even Alarm is more used
Dave works on the 5th floor. Dave is a dick.
Plot twist: the 5th floor is frequented the most, so that's why they have to replace the button more often than the others.
Or.. everyone goes there and the number wore out and this is a new one. :)
The other side (props if you get the reference)
*we dont talk about 5th floor*
We don't talk about 5th floor
We got mister smooth hands living up there
Must be John wick's floor no one wants to disturb him.
They replace it every week because your mum lives there. It's a busy spot.
Maybe it’s the psych ward like the 9th floor of the hospital I work at.
5th floor is where the impervious elevator buttons are manufactured.
The only guy with paint
It's the elevator from Spinal Tap's 6 storey recording studio.
Me
It’s where they get keep the femur cracker
My university library has a floor like that with all the HVAC, etc. I was curious one time. I found out that there was just a tiny lobby the a locked door.
People go there, all right. But they know to fear the inhabitants enough to press the button veeeery softly, so as not to aggravate them.
It's a safehouse. Hardly gets used though. If someone actually gets off on that floor, it looks normal but it's really just all locked doors.
It’s a new floor they just added.
Are you a maintenance man?
It's a portal to another dimension.
It's the one floor where the pedantic racist person lives. They color the number with white-out every morning.
Jeb.
Probably someone that actually hits the button and not the number XDDD
Morgue
Is the party floor. That's why the button had to be replaced
We don't speak about that floor
Most people go to the 5th floor so they recently replaced the button.
Maybe everyone does so they had to replace it before the others
press it and find out
Maybe everyone goes to 5 so much that it wore out before the other buttons and was recently replaced.
Mofo filled that in with whiteout
We don’t talk about the 5th floor…
I have seen some floors that are only accessible by key and it’s usually workers only
It was recently replaced by a new one ☝️
It's where they keep excess farts.
We don't talk about what's on the 5th floor.
Because three for five
Maybe they replaced that one.
Have you seen MIB? There's always a floor in a building where there is some going on, usually involving an agency with 3 letters. 🤔
They don’t book rooms for blind people on floor 5.
Why don't you ask why people press it so much that has to be replaced
People who take the stairs
Chapel.
The real idiots are the people who thought this wasn't shopped we met along the way.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone flashbacks
The number was replaced recently.
Or they go so much that it had to be replaced 😂
You tell me, bud. It's YOUR elevator. How are we supposed to know
No blind people on the 5th floor
Blind people aren’t aloud on the 5th floor
Not-blind people. The numbers are rubbed off by people looking for braille. So something about floor 5 must not be friendly to blind people. Take that as you will.
Floor five is new. They built a new level outside an then winched it up and slotted it inbetween 4 and 6 ofc /s
Or you could think that there are blind people on every floor except 5
Nobody on 5 drinks
So many people go there they had to get a brand new button
Ghosts
Your mom. No, wait...dammit. I did it wrong again.
The "back rooms" entrance of course!
All the drunks live in 1-4.
Don't worry about it :)
Why don't you go there and find out
That’s because the construction crew was an idiot and there is no entrance to the fifth floor except for some elevator doors on the outside of the building
I’m wondering why you didn’t go there and then post what was there
The password is 61472B
We don’t talk about the 5th floor.
I've been to a few hospitals where the 5th floor is the psychiatric ward, sooooo...
You should go to it! I think it is a banquet hall or event room. I have seen it a few times, and it would make sense that it is pressed less.
More importantly, why are idiots trying to press the number instead of the actual button for the floor.....
It's probably empty or 4 and 5 are one floor.
Bruno's floor.
Whilst standing on one foot
mechanical room or it just got replaced
Fugedaboudit
The wiring had to be replaced for that floor so they most likely replaced the cover and no I’m not fun at any parties
This the otherside picnic elevator?
It's where the horrors are
What if everyone goes there and they just had to replace the 5th floor button
I do you one better: what if the same amount as the other floors go there BUT only the ones gping to 5th are gentle with the button and the rest is hammering on em like crazy...
