Defect logged but have you called maintainence?

The image shows a printed sign taped to the closed doors of an elevator. The sign reads: "DEFECT LOGGED MAINTAINENCE CALLED." The word "MAINTAINENCE" is misspelled and should be "MAINTENANCE."
It's the 20th of October 2016 and I'm in Manchester for TestBash.

What a boon to spot this sign on a lift.

Always fun finding a double bug in the wild. πŸ˜ƒ
