I recently solved a riddle on YA, and I noticed someone else had posted one as an attachment to their answer. I have tried to work it out, but cant and I don't know the answer lol. Please help!

Every weekend a girl goes to see her friend who lives in an apartment block on the 14th floor.
For the first year she rides in the lift until she gets to the 8th floor then gets out and walks the rest of the way unless there's someone else in there going higher up.
The following year she goes up to the 10th floor and walks the rest of the way unless someone else is there going higher.
Why is this?
Thank you all so much for the help! I didn't even think along those lines!
 
a little person only manages to reach the 8 button on the elevator (first year)
second year s/he grows to reach the 10 button
 
Because she's a midgit and when she goes to the tenth floor she has her brolly with her to press the buttons
 
they are doing maintenance on the other floors and the person in the lift is a maintenance worker!

the buttons for the lift may be horizontal so it would make no difference to her height
