Actually I have the same: it annoys me to see someone who's not handicapped (in a way that would inhibit them from opening the door in the usual fashion), use the buttons to open the door. I mean, I outgrew my childhood's fascination with pushing any random buttons I came across when I was about 6. I can't see how it can be "fun" in any way: "Oooh, a shiny red button. Look at it, it is ... so pretty. I ... just ... have to ... push it, oh, no, I .... can't ... resist, mommy mommy, may I!" WTF, people!? Get a grip!
I don't think people do this because they feel they should be able too (for whatever reason other than being handicapped). Maybe they can't see that it's meant to be used by handicapped people. Maybe they can't understand what the big deal is. Maybe they do it out of spite. Who knows?
What I find interesting is, why do I find it so annoying? I'm not handicapped. I don't care about more important things like hunger in Ethiopia and the hole in the ozone layer and poachers that are killing off the last of the Siberian tigers. Hell, I don't even stop to think what it would be like to be handicapped and *have* to use the buttons. I just can't believe how petty people can be, myself obviously included.
