Just walked into an office building.   I got on the elevator to the fifth floor but it was busy and people were stopping at every floor in between. 

What floor am I on now?   How many stops will the elevator make? 

 
It depends.  There can be more than one entrance to a building and those entrances can be on different levels. For example, our local Courthouse's main entrance is the first floor.  However, if you enter through the back of the building, you enter on the ground floor and have to go up a level to get to the first floor. I suggest you look above the elevator door. The little lights there will tell you where you are.

 
Assume the elevator buttons were written exactly the way you'd have dinner it - this isn't a trick question.  I'm simply asking, is the main entrance on the "first" floor?

If this is really a concern, it's obvious your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor anyhow.

 
I've been to Europe once, and I'm pretty sure they have a ground floor as the main floor then the number counting system starts from 1.  So your first stop up from the ground floor is the 1st floor.

 
I'm guessing yuou made it to the fifth floor by now. Whether that is the floor you wanted to go to or not is another matter

This is definitely a European thing.   When you walk in off the street, that's the ground floor.   If you go up a flight of stairs from there that's the first floor.   If you go up five floors on the elevator,  that's the fifth floor.   

It's not the same thing as just having a ground floor where if you walk upstairs,  that's the second floor.   That's just a different name for the first floor.  They literally start counting at 0/ground,  then the first floor is upstairs.   

Just wondering if that's true anywhere else.

Think that's a uniquely American thing

'MURICA!

It depends on which country you're in.

We've got a courthouse with a 1st floor, main floor, ground floor, and basement.  

 
Stand right inside the door and face the opposite way as everyone else (looking toward the back wall). 

Then silently take video of the occupants, scanning slowly from left to right. When you are done recording turn around and wait for the next group of people. 

Do not get off the elevator until you record at least two hotties. Then post the video here. 

 
Office building I work in has very high ceilings on the first floor. It is connected via walkway with a building that does not.

One of the connections is made from the floor above the first floor in my building to the third floor in the other building.

End result is that there is no second floor in my building so that the "third" floor connects with the third floor.

Elevator goes 1,3,4,5,6.... but it DOES have a  13th floor to make up for it.

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
