I think button pushing is a universal urge. So much so in fact, that there is probably something strange about you if you DON'T like to push buttons.

| Ah I took this post the opposite of literal! I thought u meant annoy people lol. I like to annoy people yes lol. But I don't like to push buttons because I am afraid of the germs on them and I don't even have the cleaning type OCD, I'm just weird lol. |

Haha, yeah I know what you mean. I thought of pushing psychological buttons at first.
At the store, I like to press all the foots so all the fuzzy dogs, cats and frogs start singing and dancing at the same time |

Pushing buttons is a primary (and primal) archetype for me.
I once visited a place with big machines that was like being in a starship. |

No because I'm afraid I could damage something
Lol, having read the title I was wondering if it's about pushing the buttons metaphorically - about controlling, manipulating events to get some result.

That's what I saw ....
Nah, I only push buttons when I know they are off, like when I'm bored and sitting in my car working on it having a quick break and the battery is out, etc... or I'm waiting for recovery (small private roads and not the larger roads such as residential places) |

OMG!!! I thought this thread was about pushing someone's buttons to get a rise out of them. I don't do it intentionally but I do this well!
I also like pushing buttons. But only when I need to....I mostly leave stuff alone if I don't know what'll happen. Love push button phones...grew up with the rotary dial & never could get numbers dialed in correctly! LOL

I am completely anti-bully. I try not to push anyone's buttons just to hurt them.
"Try me," yeah, those are cute.
