In most elevators it does not work.  In some older elevators it can take a few pushes to activate the whatchamagiggy to get the elevator moving in the correct direction.  I think it's a habit people have.

I only push it once. I try not to push buttons more than once unless of course, it's a person. Those buttons are sometimes fun to push more than once. (I'm kidding. I'm kidding.) LOL!!!

Sometimes........ It just makes me feel as if it will make it go faster, although I know it wont.

I remember seeing in a mountain hut a notice next to the barometer saying ' Don't hit the barometer; it doesn't make the weather better, it makes the barometer worse'.

Only once. I don't think the "door open" or "door close" buttons are functional, though.

If they're taking for ever to answer, ya hit it

I don't push more than once but I push both up and down because even at my advanced age, I still don't understand what button to push.

If I want to go up,  do I push the up button??

Or do I push the down button because I want the elevator (lift) to  come down and pick me up??

They should make it easy, just ONE button that tells the elevator to pick  up a passenger on that floor, when I get in, I will press the floor button I want to go to.

 

So, I press both buttons.    sometimes I get there a second or so ahead of someone, I press both buttons, they will say--  You going up or down??  I say, I dunno, wherever it takes me, I never been lost on an elevator before. :)

I did get drunk one night and fell down an up escalator for 32 minutes. :)

Only when I'm in a real hurry. It only works when you truly need it to. Not unlike praying to God.

The one thing to avoid in a lift is farting, though if you are the only occupant you can leave it as a present to the next users.
