Keep pressing!

04Jul06

How many of you have the habit of pressing buttons non-stop? For example, traffic lights and lifts.

While waiting for the green-man to turn… green, how many times do you tend to press the traffic light button? 2? 3? 5? 10? 20? I used to do that, being the impatient Gary Ler until one day (many years ago), an aunty told me that "pressing once is enough."

No, pressing the button many times will not make the traffic light turn green faster neither will the lift fly up or just free fall downwards. I call it the pressing button syndrome. It's all around you! People playing with their G2… errr… mouse…

There are actually many reasons on why others have the habit of pressing buttons:

1) Boredom
2) They actually think it will respond quicker
3) Fun
4) Spoiling it
5) Impatient

As stated above, it's number 5 for me. However as I grow older, I managed to be a little bit more patient and… Green man? Who waits for it!

What's your reason?

    Erm, cause when you press it, you are occupied with something, therefore you are satisfied and not bored. Cause we all want to be doing something all the time. The fast paced society fault! haha kidding =)
