A man lives one the 14th floor, of a high rise apartment complex. 

Most days, when he returns home, he gets on the elevator, 

rides to the 14th floor, gets off and goes to his apartment. 

Occasionally, he gets on the elevator, rides to the 12th floor, gets off, walks up 2 flights, to the 14th floor and goes to his apartment. 

Why? 
*Key to the right answer: Do not Assume, anything 😊

There's no 13 th floor on some elevators or buildings. If he lives on the actual 14 th floor from the ground floor and he walked up all the floors counting each, stopping at 14. He would be at his apartment. On the 15th according to building labels. 
 If the 13 th floor isn't labeled on the elevator or building and he got off at 12 and walked up 2 flights (not floors,) he would be on 14 according to the building numbers., but 13 from ground.,If he walked up 2 floors he would be on the 15 th floor which is his 14 th. 
  I think he's suspicious of really living on the 13th floor. 
  BUT I don't know WHY, IF NOT FOR LUCK???!

The 14th floor is truly the 14th floor not the usual 13th floor.

No, you're all making a little bit, of an assumption, about the man. 

Think of getting into an elevator, and what you do.

The man was a Little Person and couldn't reach the button for the 14th floor if he was alone in the elevator.

Does the man occasionally push the wrong button on the elevator pushing the number for the 12th floor by mistake.
