I can't help but like both of the main robot characters, Marvin, because he's so depressed, and Colin (Mostly Harmless) because he's so stupidly happy.
And the doors with Genuine People Personalites are fairly endearing too.

I can't believe I forgot!
I like Eddie a lot too, mainly for the obnoxious bits.

I cant remember what book its from, but the lifts that dont want to go up!
(cant remember what character was talking or exact quotes, asssume Zaphod)
Lift: I go UP or DOWN
Zaphod: Alright, up please
Lift: Or down.
Zaphod: I wanna go up!
Lift: Down is nice.

Wasn't it because the lift had some sort of limited pre-cog ability? Was It in the Publishing building?

I think it was an outside force controlling the lift. At that point all the lifts wanted to go down. Or maybe it was that they didn't want to go the floor 23 (An incredibly popular destination today)

they could see into the future a bit, and knew that the building was gonna get carried away by the frogstar robots. theres a v good bit that comes after that, where marvin gets rid of the killer-robot. its so funny!
