Magic Fingers

I have never understood why there are so many people in this world that think they can push an elevator button better than I can. Like they have magic fingers that can summon an elevator car with far superior skills than my old bony digits.

They see you push the button or see you standing there beside a button that is clearly illuminated, but they can't resist giving it another poke. You can see it in their eyes too, "Oh, this guy only made the button light up. I can actually make the elevator come to this floor with my finger."

The same goes for when these people get on the elevator. "Well, sure he already pushed the button, but how do I know the elevator is actually going to go that floor which just so happens to be the same floor I want to go to? I had better push it again so that I know it was done right with my super special finger."

So let me just say to all you back-up button pushers out there...you are not better than me at pushing elevator buttons. If the button lit up, I did a damn good job. Your fingers are not magic and you are not special. Leave the poor button alone. It's just trying to do what it does and it doesn't need any added abuse from you button snobs.
