This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is a super simple setup, the elevator has both a north and a south door. but the ground floor (0) only has a north exit meaning that they never added a ground south floor. but they wanted aesthetics over functionality so instead of having an empty button slot and moving everything up, they changed the number so the south wing starts at 1 and north wing at 0
They just wanted the floor and room numbers to match up. Instead of starting the south wing at 200, they started it at 100. Kind of dumb, but at least if you have a room number you know which number to press.
