I like elevators, but I especially appreciate elevators that announce what floor you're going to. I'm grateful for that because with those elevators I can make a joke that has without fail produced at least one laugh from my temporary elevator-mates:
A moment of two before the elevator voice announces the next floor, I would ask a question like this, "Siri, what floor are we going to?" or "Siri, what is the name of the top floor of this building?" Basically, I ask any question to "Siri" that would be answered by the next floor on which the elevator is stopping. People usually give me weird looks (and I don't blame them), until the elevator announces the answer to my question and people get the joke. It's like I'm playing reverse Jeopardy with the talking elevators, which I have named Siri (named after the voice in the new iPads).
Me: "Siri, on what floor is the main office of this building?" *Pause to wait for answer*
Elevator: "Second Floor"
Me: "Thank you Siri."
