Some people.

You know those buttons at crosswalks that activate the crossing signals? You know how a lot of people activate them by pounding on the button four or five times?

Why the hell do people do that? Are they worried it'll forget?

In my experience, buttons generally react normally to being pressed, and pressed once. And yes, this includes crossing signals.

I don't know why, but it bugs the fuck out of me when people do that. It probably wears them down really quickly, too.

I think they believe it'll make the light change faster?

People also do it for the elevator.

Yeah, it doesn't. Lol.

For the same reason that people push the elevator buttons over and over again.

:/
