Hahah loved this one! Though a lot of people claim that the elevator close button doesn't actually work, it just gives us the illusion of forcing the elevator to shut before its time.

The mirrors though were thanks to a proven theory - they found people's impatience at having to wait for an elevator went down since they got to look at themselves :D

I have also observed a type of people who keep staring at the floor indicator to avoid eye contact or to diffuse the awkardness of being caught with random people! Do you agree?

This is so true! Great observation! I'm pretty sure they believe staring at the floor indicator is going to make the elevator move faster. You will also see people who press the button multiple times or harder - as if the elevator is going to arrive any faster when they do that.

Yes yes, and in turn it ends up spoiling the functioning of the buttons!!
