With all that weight in the lift I'm surprised the elevator cable didn't snap.

Don't know where this was but in USA the elevator has to have a catastrophic failure limit 3x the posted limit.

Lower the posted weight limit. Or grab that shitlord sign that says only 2 hams per trip.

I love this. Billing fatasses for damages needs t. Be the norm.

When I was in high school, we took a class trip and managed to get an elevator stuck. There must have been 15 students and two or three adults, all of us normal size for being 15 or so. We should have known better with it being a very old elevator but we thought it was fine. I learned then to pay attention to the weight limit. The hotel manager said it happens often and we were stuck less than ten minutes. I cannot imagine getting stuck with smelly fats. I make it a point to never get on an elevator with a fat ever.

I love that she said they were all 200lbs. Do they really think anyone buys that?!?! Hello, we can see you and I have a rough estimate of what 200lbs looks like. Elevators don't lie or buy into delusion. Most elevators I have seen say blank weight or blank number of people can ride at a time. So maybe 600lbs or four people would ride. They must have been way over the amount of people that could ride let along weight. I can see it saying 600lbs or four people and having four shitlord adults and four shitkids, you may be a little over the limits but have done it with no problem.

"Uh, I don't think so, we added up our weight while we were in there. We weren't even close, like 1800..."

Should have offered to weigh all of them right there.

How many floors are there in the building?

Also, I'd suggest changing the max weight limit sign to several hundred pounds below the current capacity. You know those hams aren't going to foot the bill.

3 floors total. And yeah we changed the sign today. It basically says: 8 people or 2000lbs, whichever comes first. Playing it real safe

She says 10 adults with an average weight of "200."

I see a market opportunity here. With ~70% of Americans being fat, installable elevator flooring that weighs the total occupants and sends a "do not start" signal to the elevator when it hits it's (programmable) weight limit.

Nice elevators already have this feature.

That's why it's an installable floor, you can back-fit older elevators with no issues.
