How did Sheldon never see to it that the elevator was fixed?
The actors behind "The Big Bang Theory," the characters within it, and the fans that love it could all more than likely share a few words about the iconic Sheldon Cooper. He's memorable, to say the least, with a personality that's entirely unique — for better or worse. One of his most prominent characteristics is that he's a detail person, and when something is amiss, he's quick to voice his concerns to the necessary parties as often and loudly as possible. Therefore, it's reasonable to wonder why he didn't make a bigger fuss over the busted elevator over the years.
This is something that doesn't sit right with "Big Bang Theory" fan and Reddit user u/strayed_18, hence why they created an entire thread about it. In response, folks from all over the site's "Big Bang Theory" community came up with some reasons why he likely didn't go out of his way to get the elevator repaired. For one, he and Leonard broke it in the first place, with a rocket made by the latter exploding inside of it, so it would be wise not to draw attention to it. Then there's the fact that Sheldon is claustrophobic, which is probably a factor in why he doesn't badger the owners of the building about it.
Others mention that the long, drawn-out conversations the characters on the show have in each episode as they climb flight after flight of stairs are in the very DNA of the show. They move the plot along, act as joke setups, and give the characters time to interact and flesh out their dynamics. It helped the show flourish in more ways than one, so maybe it is a good thing it wasn't ever fixed.
