In my office (in Germany), when the elevator door opens and I hold the "close door" button, it immediately starts closing as soon as it's finished opening. So at least that one is definitely not a placebo.

Same here in the UK. Both the close and open buttons work immediately after being pressed in my office, so they're clearly not placebos.
