Company 3 offered to install mirrors in the elevator, costing much less.

The problem wasn't the speed of the elevators, it was that the residents were bored on the elevator. Mirrors gave them something to do (fix ties, comb hair...)

Sometimes the real problem isn't readily apparent.

Or...something like that.
That actually very close to what i had written...

i think it was more like

"it's not the complaint that's the problem, it's the people complaining"
