pedestrian crossing

Why when you have already pressed the button does someone just walk up and press it again and if you say "I have just pressed it "they look at you as if you are stupid. Then to crown it all they still cross over before it goes to green?

Well I do have to press the button to get to the fish and chip shop. Stop talking about fish and chips or I will be up there lol.

"Why when you have already pressed the button does someone just walk up and press it again"

Same happens with the elevator buttons when one's waiting for it. Everyone who come after you always press it, as if... - I always blurt out "do you think it will come any faster if you press it again?"

thanks for replies it looks like some people have a thing about pressing buttons.

yep the lift ones annoy me and the people who wont get out of your way when you are trying to exit because its so much more important that they get on !

It's like lift buttons.

Which floor do you want?

First, please.

Penthouse, please.

Third, please.

What? Oh, no, sorry ... we're just waiting for you to all get out of the lift so we can have a snog. Hey, did you say you were staying in the penthouse?

pressing the button must have some effect on the light changing, the kids near to my last place of work used to press the button in and then stick a matchstick in alongside the button.
the result was the the red light would come on every couple of minutes and stop the traffic.

I know this is naughty and selfish, but I always say "it stops at the 13th floor first, then stops at the other floors on its way down. I get to ride to the second floor all alone with no one breathing down my neck or mixture of perspiration and horrible perfume. Mind you there's only two floors!

Same reason that some people insist on going 'clicky clicky clicky' on the door opening button on a train before its come to a full rest. It's called *stupidity*

Other examples:

People who buy cheap bicycles, leave them out in the rain then stand there going 'duuur' when the thing's knackered after one year.
People who drive along with their fog lights on.
People who turn left from a lane approaching a roundabout that is meant for right only.
People who believe everything they read in the Daily Mail (uh oh -here it comes!)
People who leave pubes on the soap.
People who think any bloke over a certain age who plays with a child that is not their own might be a "paedio-file."
People who say "is it?" when the answer should be "did you?
People who light up a fag when people are still eating
I could go on.....
