Unhandled Floor Exception

In buildings with subterranean parking garages, the parking levels are often prefixed with a P in the elevator (P3, P4, etc). I laughed out loud at the new Lincoln Square in Bellevue this evening, where the first such button in the elevator is P0. Apparently, the building was designed by programmers.

Curious, I pushed the button for P0 but it wouldn't activate. I parked on P1, and saw ramps to P2 and higher, but couldn't see any way to get to P0. So not only was the construction team led by a programmer, but it apparently had no testers.

The only thing more perfect would have been if the building was for a software company.

I'm sorry, but it's perfectly obvious. If you park on P0, then try to get back there later, you've totally been P0wned.
