The Easiest Button to Button

I like pushing buttons.

I was at work yesterday, putting in a little OT in the evening while some hearings were going on at the PaTS (Parking and Transportation Services), traffic was slow, homework was done, all nice and easy you know?

Then I saw the button.

It looked so unassuming, it was white, looked like a doorbell button. Just so pushable. I never noticed it before. I reached over and pushed it, expecting a light to flicker, room service to come, something. Nothing happened. So I pushed it summore. And summore. Push Push Push. Push Push Push summore. It was so pushable. You know how some buttons are.

Five minutes later, a police officer comes running into the office all tensed up. "Good evening officer, how can I help you?". "What's wrong?!" he asks! "Nothing...nothing is wrong," I reply.

"Well, someone just pushed the panic button in here."

Oh My God.

I blubbered my apologies, a million times over.

Never again.

The easiest button to button.
