Usually when one of the elevators at work is out of service, this is the sign we see:

A temporary sign for a temporarily out of service elevator

Sometimes this is how we find out an elevator is broken:

No tape for the sign?

;
;
;
;
;

But now we have a permanent sign telling us that the elevator is temporarily out of service. I’m not sure if the condition is permanently temporary or temporarily permanent.

Permanently temporary
