Moron Alert - Elevator Buttons

Ever watch someone in an elevator in a tall building?

In elevators where the buttons go sideways and then up, you watch people all the time look all over to see where the floor number is that they want.

In some well designed elevators, where the numbers go vertically, the people look for their floor, click it and go.

I've been working in the same building for years and I watch people struggle with the sideways numbering confuse people every day.

Hasn't anyone learned how to do usability testing to see what works and what confuses people?

Nuff said.
