I don't think I ever push the button repeatedly in front of people, but if I'm by myself? I will sometimes push the button to express my feelings of "Why don't you get here faster you bastard my day has been bad enough already without having to sit here at the mercy of machinery."
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If we had tHHGttG's existential elevators, I wouldn't have to push the damn button at all. Although I might have other problems.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I can understand hitting it again once, after a long while, if you're unsure the initial press took. I've done it myself. But when there are little lights inidicating what floor the elevators are on and indicate that the elevator is moving but has never once passed your floor, pushing the botton like a spastic monkey isn't going to get it there any faster.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It bugs me when i'm standing in front of the elevator, the light is on, therefore proving I have pushed the button, and some schmo comes along and pushes it again.
Because, obviously, I haven't pushed it right.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well he should give Iguchi a consolation kiss anyway, since Ig came in 4th in the ROY balloting.
Feh, I say. You shouldn't be able to win Rookie of the Year if you're not a rookie.
I did know Ozzie was a kisser. I did not know that Carl Everett would be okay with being kissed, but perhaps Ozzie won him over (or is more circumspect with his kissing than reports imply).

He has to push it for himself; otherwise when the elevator arrives, it will only take you.

That's fun too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Because, obviously, I haven't pushed it right.
Or maybe the schmo figures that girl-pushes don't count.

I will never understand people that push the elevator button repeatedly, as if the force their exerting on button will be somehow pumped into the elevator mechanism and cause it to move faster.
My dog (yeah, it's all dog, all the time with me these days for some reason) won't let anyone pet her in the elevator on the way down. Up is fine, just not down. I'm pretty sure the problem is that it could distract her from using her full powers of concentration to make the elevator go faster.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's funny that we both assumed a male schmo. Allyson didn't provide a pronoun. Is schmo gender specific?
