Even the technicians know about it...but they won't fix it

There's a peculiar thing about the elevator in my office building.

Since the 1st and the 7th level are the most frequented floors, one of the elevators has a peculiar problem. Sometimes, the doors just won't close unless you press on the safety stoppers in the middle of the doors! And this is a fairly well known peculiarity among the people who work here.

So every time the door does not close, someone presses the safety stoppers and the doors close and we all ride to whichever floor we are going to.

But today, another elevator was being serviced and the technicians were there to maintain it. One of them rode up the elevator with me and at level 1, he noticed the door not closing and promptly proceeded to press the safety stopper!

So they know about it! Why won't the fix it? Especially since they are the guys who fix these sort of things anyways. Up until now, I thought that this was a problem that had not been highlighted to the maintainence company, but after today, I know otherwise.

Maybe someone has to yell before this things gets fixed.

I'm going to be that one.
