Invent this, Please!
As a self-admitted fool, I have no shame in admitting that I often find myself accidentally hitting the wrong button when I'm on elevators. Perhaps this is a higher being's way of punishing me for intentionally hitting many wrong buttons when I was a child. (I did this in order to ensure that people would have their trips slightly delayed. For example, one time when my family was staying at a hotel, my brother and I were on an elevator with some guy. We made small talk with him for a few seconds before reaching our floor. When we were getting out, I pushed three or four buttons to ensure that he would stop at an additional three or four floors. His response? "Thanks a lot, you little asshole!" I think his response was appropriate even if I was only 11 or 12!) Anyway, I find myself pushing the wrong buttons a lot these days, so I wish someone would invent new elevator buttons which would activate upon one push and deactivate upon two pushes! That way if you accidentally hit the wrong button, you could just hit it again and wouldn't have to stop at that floor. If someone actually invented such a button, the person would undoubtedly make millions, yes?
Thoughts (aside from the fact that I'm an idiot)?

I dont like that idea with the elevator button at all. I am impatient and keep hitting the button to make sure the door closes and just to be redundant in general. your invention sucks like my street law grade.

what makes you think that you would be able to hit the "magic" button on the first (or second) try??
