Definition of roulettevator :.

(rü-lĕt'ə-vā'tər)

  1. 1. (n.) An elevator that, despite the passenger's request, travels to any random floor of a building it chooses regardless of whether it was chosen or not. This game of elevation roulette is further enhanced when the elevator ceases to report where it is currently located. A more advanced form of this involves an elevator that may or may not open or reach any floor at all.

    Origins: The continuously glitched or malfunctioned 40 year old elevators at my workplace are becoming ever much more of a gamble to attempt, much like a game of roulette.

    Example: I rode the roulettevator this morning and actually made it to the correct floor!
