If you were to fall down a skyscraper's elevator shaft, would the Coriolis effect cause you to hit the sides?

Aerodynamic effects will completely overwhelm any other effects inside of any shaft that has an atmosphere.

If you consider an airless shaft, (or perhaps part-way up the tether of a space elevator) your fall will drift in the direction of the planet's spin (East, on Earth) relative to a "straight" fall down the shaft. This effect decreases the further north/south you are from the equator.

On the north/south pole, you would fall straight down.

Lastly, at intermediate latitudes your fall would drift towards the equator, in addition to the east-ward drift.
