Do not EVER leave me alone in the toy section with toys that have demo buttons.

Normally I head staight for the Vtech toys and see how many I can start up at once.

Add my name to the list of button pushers. Any button will do, remote-control buttons, car-radio buttons, phone buttons to name a few. And computer keyboard keys if that counts.

Dudes! Don't even THINK this is a picture of me! :oops:
I just searched google images for lots of buttons to push

It does look a lot like like the 'starship' place I mentioned though.

Button Whole topic

Buttons were a big obsession for me 46 years ago. Fascinating: belly buttons, panic buttons, clothing buttons, furniture buttons, electronic buttons (though dials were more common then), lip buttons (as in be quiet, but I made a visual :lol:). The power of the positive button!!

The concept of the button is a fastener/starter. Similar to a key, they are a means to an end. All I did was to make them something more than just to use. I enjoyed them for just being buttons!! :D

Great memory!!

Actually, no. Not at all. I'm not even remotely interested in pressing real buttons.

I never understood why other kids found it interesting, even fascinating. I thought most adults had lost that interested by becoming older, too.

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.


I was going to say: nope, but don't you dare to push MY buttons 8)

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!

My thought, too (and that I do unintentionally aggravate people)-but hoped thread was about actual buttons.

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

My mother had certain issues, and one was that she insisted on our only having a rotary-dial phone, which she must have liked-but which I loathed.
I adore the touch-tone buttons on my phone, compared with that. Also, liked calculators & electric typewriters (later, computer keyboards) merely for the ease of depressing keys.

However, I do not have urges to press buttons that could lead to anything bad happening, such as ones in public, elevators, machines that might trap me or malfunction, so I fear such buttons instead-because it's too easy to accidentally create a disaster (as I see it).

Figuratively: yeah, it can be fun sometimes. :lol:

I love seeing toys with demo buttons ! ! I go down the entire row, starting them all in sequence. Then I start all over again ! !
