logic puzzle - A MAN IN AN ELEVATOR

A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?

The man is short. When its raining, he uses his umbrella to hit the 10th floor button, or if there's someone else in the elevator, he gets them to press it for him. If he's alone, he can only reach the 7th floor button.
