done things just to push someones buttons?GIVE EXAMPLES!!!!

Yep.

It's my fave sport...like to see how many buttons it takes!

People I've worked with.

did you do it in a way that wasn't obvious,sneaky shall we say?

yeppers

yeah

I used to irritate my dad on purpose.

Obvious to know it alls.

yes plenty of times

well sure

poken the cage ... Got have some fun ..

Yes, Purposely?

Nope

Yes I have push buttons, its a way to allow them to see your side, in some cases,,lol And its a way to SHOW others how THEY react to certain issues....

Because I uphold the 'Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you' Golden Rule, I dont believe reacting or retaliating in such a way is right. Deliberately pushing someone's buttons is spiteful and most often the result of communication breakdown.
There are times when you'd do such a thing to get a laugh - and I suppose that's not so bad. Especially if the other person has a funny hang-up or habit that they are trying to break and you have already agreed to work on it together.

Either way, it's manipulative. If you wanna flex your quid pro quo muscles, try flooding him/her with love and affection - just see if that doesnt bring a better result!!

and a way to get some one to leave

nah i normally dont like to piss people off, but cross me and i push buttons people didn't think they had.!!!!

My ex has a temper. He was pitchin' a fit and I said something about his temper tantrum. Oh my! Definitely a mistake! But it's still funny!

I am better at pushing buttons than I would like to be.

Well...aint life a cockpit?
