In tests people who push buttons, especially pelican buttons, get run over 5% more than people in wheel cahirs and on stilts.

When The Boy was younger (half my height as opposed to 1.2 x my height) he pointed out that under some Pelican Crossing controls is a little knob which turns and turns and that if you turned it faster with your fingers, the wait would be shorter.

It was great when our company moved to a brand-spanking-new building, equipped with the smartest lifts I've ever come across. One press of the right button got you to your floor. A second press "unclicked" and cancelled your floor request.

People slow down and stop when I don't want them to! I can only cross the children when the coast is clear, so everyone who slows down makes the process longer and when they stop with a trail of logging trucks and too-late-for work commuters behind them I have to resist shouting something rude.Lady Mondegreen's Secret Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638813551209321151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-36636199040904568822012-04-16T23:30:40.893+02:002012-04-16T23:30:40.893+02:00Oh, I've pressed some buttons in my time...
