Q: Why do Chinese push the elevator button so many times?

Do they really think that will make it work faster?

Some people just don't believe they already push it, just afriad that the elevator may not react.

Because...it is a hot button...which ensures the elevator won't fall to hell! I was repeatedly blamed for not pushing the close door button. They said I was a lazy person:-(!

The other question to ask is why do so many people push the down button when they want to go up? I've seen it happen so many times. They seem to think you have to press the down button to make it come down first and then press the up button to make it go up. It cracks me up each time!
