Placebo Buttons

How many times are you standing in front of the elevator with the button pressed to go up or down...and along comes someone who pushes it again?

FOR WHAT REASON?!

Control

And they never look at you or say anything to you.

Well, I read this article about the Door Close button...I'm not sure that it's actually true (some of them seem to work for me), but it does add a sense of comedy hen you watch people wiling away on the close button.  Very Skinner Box-esque.
