Did I not press it correctly?

This morning, I was rushing out of my apartment to catch my bus, and I stopped at the lobby elevator. I reached over and pressed the down button. Then this person walks up next to me, doesn’t even look at the glowing button, and just slaps it again.

I stood there for a split second like did I press it wrong? Is the light not working, or are they just not looking? It’s not a huge deal, just one of those silly things that nags at you. That button was literally glowing. And those metal elevator buttons do feel weirdly satisfying to press. But pressing it two seconds after someone else? I’m losing my mind.

Have you ever dealt with this? Do you just let it slide?

The image features the title 'HYALURONIC ACID: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO USE IT' in blue text with a white outline, set against a background of shimmering water.
The image defines hyaluronic acid as a humectant that pulls water into the skin, noting one molecule can hold up to 1,000x its weight in water. It warns that without moisture, HA pulls water from the skin, causing dryness. A skincare bottle is visible in the background.
The image highlights the mistake of using hyaluronic acid on dry skin, explaining it pulls hydration from the skin instead of into it, leading to tightness, flakes, and dullness. A white tube and water droplets are in the background.
Hyaluronic Acid: How to Use It Correctly
Hyaluronic acid (HA) isn’t just another “hydrating serum” — it’s a powerful humectant that pulls water into your skin. But here’s the catch: if there’s no moisture to grab, it takes it from your skin instead… leaving you tight and flaky. Here’s how to use HA the right way (esthetician-approved):
