Another old one:

Every morning, a person named Pat enters a skyscraper and goes to the elevator. Pat pushes one of the buttons and gets off at that floor. Then Pat walks up the stairs the rest of the way to the top.

In the afternoon, Pat takes the elevator all the way down and goes home.

If it's raining, Pat does not use the stairs.

Explain.

Also when returning home from a holiday he doesn't use the stairs.

I've not seen the bit about the rain before but it is an old one as you say.
I think Pat could also be called Warwick Davies - the actor

Is it gender specific e.g could the person be John?

I think Wolfgang knows this and is trying to give clues.
Is the location a lighthouse?

Light-houses are normally tall.

This must be an old teaser because I think all lighthouses are automatic these days.
Anyway, I suppose the answer is when she leaves she turns out the wrong light(was that ever possible?),a ship crashes into the lighthouse so it's tumbling into the sea so she jumps off it to try and save herself but cracks her head open on the rocks.
All highly unlikely of course but then these teasers often are.
