Elevator out of order

First day there. The elevator wouldnt come down to the first floor unless it was sent down by someone up stairs. So we had to walk up stairs. Normally i wouldnt mind but hubby had knee replacement surgery and its hard for him . The next morning they did put up a elevator out of order sign up .
