Do you like to push buttons?

Post Reply New Topic

Big time! I have loved pushing buttons since I was a toddler. And don't forget flipping switches and turning dials.
Oh, and if it is an object that spins or flashes in addition... mmm, euphoria...

I remember going into one of those college bookstores and finding a rack of those musical buttons that played the college fight song. I pushed all of them at once. Of course many of them had different pitches, started at different times, etc. I reveled in the cacophony.

Guilty as charged - im fairly bad with the close door button in lifts (some otis ones pressing the close button at the same time as the floor will take you express to that floor) but dosnt excuse me doing it in every lift I enter.


Was the on/restart switch +usb for my computers at work, at least once a day someone would press it, just meant i got 5mins down time. So i think it is universal but if your pre-disposed to OCD traits its much harder to avoid

Well... I took the title literally. So I got it right

Yeah... I almost can't stand pushing them!..
I just HAVE to know what they do BEFORE I push them.
If I don't know I won't touch them.

Yet, most of the time I tend to know what they do. That's actually funny, cause people hate me for that.
"How do you know what that button do?!?"
"I read it!, Duh!"
"Yeah but how could you know that the timer was in that menu?"
"It very obvious, and logical"

There are some buttons which I like to push, some just feel nice to push.

Of course, I'd never push a button that said "Destruction! Do not press!"

don't push my buttons though

Like everyone I do!! ! but I get frustrated when I do it and nothing happens inmidiately.

I loved the keyboard on my ZX Spectrum, the rubber keys felt so warm and soft!

Also i keep using this crappy PSP browser even though i have 2 PCs in the house!
Maybe it's the repetition and then again maybe it's because i can't miss (as much) when i have only 4 buttons to aim at!
(i'd probably poke myself in the eye if i tried to scratch my nose in a hurry! )

i like to press buttons (yawn).
i do not press buttons that i have no idea of the function of.

when i got my first job in the CBD of sydney, it was in a 48 storey building. i was 20. my floor was floor 40.
the elevator buttons were so nice to look at and nice to touch.

the circular buttons had rings of transparent plastic surrounding them, and the plastic rings lit up with a nice orange glow when you touched the button inside them.

so, when i was getting out at floor 40, i liked to light up the whole panel by pressing every button for every floor before i alighted.
security eventually cornered me after some weeks, and i admitted i pressed all the buttons.

they told me that it was very inconvenient to have the elevator stop at every floor on the way down. it was inconvenient for people who were gong down if they were in a hurry, and inconvenient to people waiting at ground level who watch the floor numbers above the elevator door.

i like to press buttons, and if buttons have pretty translucent and illuminatable rings around them, and i know the buttonms are just floor numbers, i will press them.

it is like popping bubble wrap in a way.

That's what's so cool about using a typewriter or laptop - after all, a keyboard is just a lot of buttons...
