I have fond memories of being in a hotel in Tel Aviv one Saturday morning. My room was
on something like the 16th floor. I made the mistake of taking the 'Shabbat lift - the
one where the door opens and closes automatically, and it stops on every floor. It was
long, long trip.

But surely you could have got out at the next floor, the
first floor the Shabat Lift stopped at and taken the other
lift ? Or at least at the second floor the lift stopped at,
once you realised what was going on ?

He strikes me as the kind of person who gets out of his car when it's in the
carwash.
