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?
