I always press the street crossing and elevator door close buttons, even though I'm well aware that in many cases it won't work. Why? Sometimes it actually does work, and the effort required is minimal. I don't do so because the button has provided the illusory feeling of control.

In addition to that, there are cross roads in my city were if you don't press them, the light will _never_ turn green. Instead the cars going in that direction get a turn right arrow.

  This is so common I don't understand how the article didn't even mention it.
