Cute story! Don't some buildings not have a 13th floow because it is bad luck? Or am I making that up?
Wow, that's crazy! There are 2 courthouses directly across from one another, and I went to one thinking it was the right one. A security guard asked me what I was there for and told him, and then he said "you have to go across the street for that. this building is where you get divorced, that's where you get married." Well thank you officer!!
rachel, you are correct. A lot of hotels don't have 13 floors, and some other buildings
It was quite interesting we will just say that lol.
And yes, I have heard about the 13th floor thing, just never seen it. I don't think I've been in a building that had that many floors lol!
Hehe..that is a cute story.
A couple years ago I was in New Orleans for a conference which had some of it's events at a hotel rather than just at the conference center. I normally take the stairs, but couldn't find them so tried the elevator. First I couldn't figure out how to "summon" it (it didn't have the regular "up" and "down" buttons...you had to enter a code of where you wanted to go...but there weren't any instructions on how to do this). Then when I got on (after someone else summoned it), there were NO buttons (it just stops at the floors corresponding to what people had summoned it for)...so I figure that all out, get out, try to summon it for the floor I wanted and it kept having errors. Somehow I figured out that it didn't go to that floor at all...and eventually figured out the elevator that goes to that floor was on the clear other side of the (very large) hotel!
LOL @ gasiaraine - that is a great story!
An elevator that has to be 'summoned' - how weird is THAT?! Sometimes I don't appreciate all this 'technology' :P
Wow....I've heard of buildings not having a 13th floor, but not having a 4th? LOL

Have you ever been on an elevator that skipped a floor number entirely? I have.
Just so you know, I'm not a huge fan of elevators in the first place, so when I have to get on one, I expect to be able to push the button and be delivered to my designated floor with minimal delay (except of course for the unavoidable stop-and-go of the other passengers, which I am ok with).
Well, today we went to get our marriage license. Parking downtown is not fun to begin with, it was freezing cold, and after going to the 4th floor of the WRONG building, we were directed across the street to a different building. Things were going ok, we went thru the metal detector and all that jazz, then proceeded to the elevator. It arrives, the arrow a glowing beacon pointing in the direction of the 'legalization' of my impending nuptuals. We step into the crowded elevator, turn to press the #4, AND THERE IS NOTHING.
COUNT 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9. AND AGAIN 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9. You're KIDDING me right?! This is just some horrible joke that the lady on the phone pulled on us. We look at each other in confusion, look back at the # pad, look around at other people, and decide to get off on whatever random floor it's stopping at to collect our thoughts..
We wander around for a moment, like abandoned animals on a country dirt road, and that's when I can't take it anymore. Mind you, I had to be at work at 10 AM, and we had already be to 2 different buildings, including one with a missing floor. So I ask some guy (looked like a lawyer or something) WHERE exactly is the 4TH FLOOR? To which he replies "There isn't one". Serioulsy, it was starting to feel like I was trapped in a B-rated horror flick.
That's when another guy tells us that it's 'from floor 5, go down the hall to your right, and that is considered the 4th floor. OK, THAT makes sense.
Anyway, we finally found the elusive 'floating' 4TH FLOOR, and we got our license (& a funny story to tell for awhile lol)
Sorry so long, bees!
