I don't trust buttons

I don't trust buttons. I feel like each time I press one that I'm putting expectations on an inanimate object that I shouldn't.

When I get into an elevator I press the button of the floor I wish to reach. And then I wait. I often press it more than once, just to make sure it sticks. You know, like what if the circuit is faulty and it doesn't connect. Then I just hope that all the other components are working so I get up to my floor and not end up on some other floor. And that's just if the elevator doesn't stop working at all.

Crossing the street I am never sure if that dang crosswalk button does anything at all. Supposedly it does, but I have yet to find evidence it is really very helpful. This button also must be pressed at least twice to ensure the connection is made, if it is indeed doing the job I hope it is doing.

Even as I type, I have to keep watching the screen to make sure the buttons I press correspond with the letters in my mind and on the screen. You could argue that typing has more to do with the typist than the buttons (or keys as some high minded people call them). To them I say, not if when I press [s] and I get [i]...no its not actually happening but it could!

No I just don't trust buttons. Of course I'll keep pushing them like the drone I am, but I don't have to like it. For all you happy button pushers out there don't say I didn't warn you.
