> The button has no downside
downsides:
- inconvenience (like if my hands are in my pocket)
- exposure to illness transmission via increased contact with unknown but certainly dirty surface area (assuming touch is required)
- energy expenditure (if its not immediately next to you, or you have a disability)

- jstarfish 3y agoYou had to turn a doorknob to leave the house, but you're too disabled to push a fucking button designed for handicapped UX? You're going to touch traces of a million other people's gender fluids on every single other thing you touch during your errand. Germophobia is very selective.
- NiloCK 3y agoAmazing you managed to write this post or read any of the comments. Are your fingers OK? :)

- Vecr 3y agoTouch it with your elbow. And don't walk around with your hands in your pockets near traffic, it's bad risk management.
- gnicholas 3y agoMakes sense for the big buttons, but some of them have tiny ones with a little rain hat, inexplicably. Why don't they all have big buttons, which are much easier to push?
- erhaetherth 3y agoWe just have these stupid unpressable buttons near me. They're big with an embossed arrow on them, but if try to press it it might budge a quarter of a millimeter. I still don't understand how they work, if they're supposed to be capacitive or just have really tiny press windows. But they give zero satisfying feedback that you've successfully pressed the button. I hate them so much. And if you hit them hard they will murder your hand.
- gnicholas 3y agoWe have some that don't move much, but the make a beeping noise when you hit them, and an LED lights up.
- Qwertious 3y ago>Why don't they all have big buttons, which are much easier to push? In Australia, they all do have big buttons.
- spiderice 3y agoIf these are the top 3 “downsides” you can come up with, then I’m fine referring to it as “no downsides”
