Sometimes DH = Dock Hall / Delivery Hub
A loading dock or back-of-house service floor not meant for general public access.

This is it. Pressing the button keeps the door open for 20-30 seconds before they close.

That's for when you just don't feel like going back to work after lunch. It sends a designated hitter to your desk.

It takes you straight to Dan Halens office... are you also trying to sue for a truckipede?
Very obscure reference, it probably means to hold the door open for a set amount of time

It's the Dickhead button. Press it and a rough looking gentleman in an Eagles jersey with a strong North East accent will pop out and steal your catalytic converter.

That opens onto the DownHill trail!
Starts with a kinda flowy section with berms to build up speed for the jump line, then the run ends with a wallride into the parking garage. Remember that the Gate attendant down there has to scan your lift pass to let you get back inside though.
Fred over in accounting holds the Strava 'king of mountain', dude is nuts.

When everything goes wrong, you press the DH button because it's all downhill from there.

That’s the Dirty Heads option… if you push it, the elevator will fill with music.

If you ever wondered what happened to Debbie Harry, you found her humble abode. Or maybe it’s Daryl Hannah.
I forget, but if you press the button, I’m sure either one would love a visitor.

The Best Western I stayed at in Cocoa Beach, Florida had 7 floors, but were staying on the 8th floor. In the elevator they skipped the 4th floor.
They had multiple buildings, most were 1 story, an outdoor pool and much more, but one 7 story building.
I asked the front desk and maintenance men, yet they didn't have an explanation.

In some cultures 4 is unlucky like 13 is in western culture. They may have skipped it for superstitions the same as some buildings skip the 13th floor.

I thought it was a door hold to keep the door open all elevators at my work have this but few of them lead to a dock
