Sometimes I watch someone at a crosswalk push the button, then push it again after a second. Then push it again. And again. And again, and again. Beep-boop beep-boop beep-boop. As if they can short-circuit the whole green-yellow-red light loops for the cars by sheer willpower.
I found myself watching one recently and thinking, 'for each time you push that button, we subtract 5 IQ points'. They probably had an IQ of 60 by the end.
People-watching can be a real laugh. (＾▽＾)
Do You Push the Elevator Button More Than Once?

If it lights up, it's coming.
May be helpful to set it up to issue an unpleasant squawk or reprimand (a mild shock would be nice but don't get too Milgram [q.v.]) if pushed (rationally) too frequently.
Yahoos who push the buttons with the intent to inconvenience others (maybe imperil those in emergencies too) perhaps should be 'locked in' then sent to where security would be notified & waiting (if applicable) or at least have photos and info sent to authorities to determine if a mischief charge is warranted.
