Stumbled on a stat about door dwell times that blew my mind
I was reading through some old elevator maintenance logs last week at a building in downtown Cleveland and noticed they track door open times to the millisecond. Turns out the average elevator door is open for about 8 to 12 seconds per stop, but I found one log where a door was staying open 22 seconds because of a tiny sensor misalignment. The weird part is nobody had flagged it because the tenants just got used to the slow doors. Has anyone else run into hidden time delays that just became normal over the years?

That sensor alignment issue is probably throwing off the whole building's traffic flow without anyone noticing, like how people adjust to a slightly longer commute route over time and forget it used to be faster.
