There is also a button for every floor.

Hint: It has to do with the man, not the building.

I just heard a riddle similar to this one last week.
The man lives on the top floor and takes the elevator down, but has to take the stairs back up, unless it's raining... then he takes the elevator.
The answer for that one is because the man is a midget and can't reach the buttons for the elevator for the upper floors, except for the days he has his umbrella.

That might be it, except that the driver kept saying that there wasn't anything usual about the man...

I was thinking along the same lines as Dawn. Is it because he isn't tall enough to reach the buttons above 18?

Also, great story. I laughed out loud.

It was nice seeing you today. From afar. lol. Next time we should actually say words. lol. :D

Yeah, I vote the elevator guy is a midget. Or perhaps he is avoiding someone on one of the floors.

I love friendly bus drivers.
