On a serious note, what do these buttons actually mean? We usually have numbers in our lifts.

Not in the picture are 6 buttons for 5 underground parking floors and the main floor. I have no idea what those buttons do, later when I left the office im going to check out. If this is my last message, let everyone know that I went missing on the name of science.

This is their last message(since posting this reply) so they are most likely dead

Shouldn’t have pressed the D button if they didn’t want death

It's certainly a brazilian (or portuguese, maybe) elevator. These buttons are to be used by an elevator operator to manually control the lift.

They mean: "Parar" (stop), "Não Parar" (don't stop), "Subir" (go up) and "Descer" (go down). The buttons above operate the doors.

Caralho mano, o pegou direitinho. É um elevador em São Paulo e deve ser pra o que você falou por que não fez nada quando eu pressione eles.

Tem que usar uma chave e colocar ele no modo de operação manual para esses botões funcionarem.

Maybe someone has a more specific explanation, but I could imagine it just being shorthands for certain departments.

Like, imagine a hospital where the third floor is dedicated to, uh, new patients, so you press the NP button.

Ah yeah, that makes sense

What a bummer. They did nothing.
