Bureau of Minor Sufferings — Official Filing

Official Certificate: Maximum-Frequency Vertical Transit Interruption

Formally Processed · Entered Into Federal Record · Certificate Issued

The Bureau of Minor Sufferings classifies the All-Floor Elevator Stop as a Transit Efficiency Violation. You pressed your floor. The elevator stopped at every floor between the lobby and your destination. At each stop, the doors opened, no one entered, and the doors closed. Your three-floor journey has taken four minutes.

About This Filing Category

Bureau Vertical Transit Analysis has calculated that the average elevator stop (door open, wait, door close) adds approximately eighteen seconds to a journey. An elevator serving fifteen floors that stops at every floor converts a thirty-second direct journey into a four-minute-thirty-second ordeal. The Bureau classifies Phantom Stops (doors open, no one enters or exits) as the most frustrating variant, as they add delay without any functional purpose.

Example Bureau Findings (Preview)
§Finding 1 (§6.1.a): The claimant's elevator journey encompassed stops at every intervening floor between origin and destination, adding approximately three minutes and twelve seconds of delay.
§Finding 2 (§6.1.b): Of the documented stops, four (4) were Phantom Stops ? the doors opened and closed with no passenger entry or exit, constituting Zero-Purpose Delay Events.
§Finding 3 (§6.1.c): The cumulative delay caused the claimant to arrive at their destination approximately three minutes and forty-seven seconds later than a direct journey would have permitted.

Your certificate will contain findings specific to your actual incident. The above are representative examples.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about people who press the wrong floor?
Wrong-floor button presses are classified as Accidental Transit Disruption events. The Bureau notes that pressing "Close Door" does not actually accelerate departure in most elevator systems ? a fact documented in the Bureau's Registry of Placebo Buttons.
Does this cover slow elevators in general?
General elevator slowness is processed under the Bureau's Infrastructure Speed Deficiency category. The All-Floor Stop filing specifically addresses unnecessary intermediate stops.
Can I file on behalf of someone else?
Yes. Use Gift mode — toggle it at the top of the filing form. Enter their name and describe what happened.
Is this a real legal document?
No. This is satirical parody. The Bureau is not a government agency. Certificates carry no legal authority. See our Terms.
