Does this elevator go up?

So a friend and I are at a hotel while traveling yesterday. It is late in the evening and we decided to go grab a drink from the vending machine. We found the vending machine with the best drinks was at the basement floor (the entrance from the parking garage). So we take the elevator down to the basement (note: the lowest floor that the elevator goes).
Anyway, just as we finish getting our drinks and head back to the elevator, a strange young lad comes sauntering up and proceeds to ask us “Hey, are you guys going up?” as we push the button to the elevator…
We glance at one another for a moment, as we wait for the silence, hoping he will realize his error… But after a few more moments with no lightbulb coming on, my friend speaks up and says “No, sorry, these elevators go side to side".
All we get in return is a blank stare back as that processes for a moment… Finally after what seems like an eternity, we get the inevitable “Oooohhhhh… Right…” as it finally clued in… I was starting to worry that he was actually going to walk away looking for the elevators that don’t go side to side…
Anyway… Moral of the story? The lack of human intelligence wandering aimlessly around the surface of our little planet really scares me… 
How are we ever going to fend off the wombats with so many blatent displays of stupidity! (that’s likely why they are invading in the first place, they are likely thinking “Man these hairless apes are so dumb, taking this planet will be like taking candy from a baby!".
