Every morning from train station to office i use six sets of traffic lights, obviously same on way back. AIBU to get annoyed at the people who have to check/repress the button incase i haven't done it right?!
Prob being very petty, but really want to ask some of them why they do it!

on my 40 min drive to work i encounter 18 sets of traffic lights, so think yourself lucky you only have to put up with six!

Or like me, they have waited twenty years to be crossing a road without a child who will immedicately go into total meltdown if they can't press the button, and are determined to finally have a turn of their own 
Even as a kid, way back when pelican crossings were new, my sister was always the one who got to press the button. Now it's my turn and I will press that button even if the entire town has already pressed it!

I am often bemused by the people who stand at the traffic lights and don't bother to press the button at all. 
Surly it helps to press the button? The cars won't stop otherwise. Idiots.

Agree that these days people increasingly don't push the button at all but just stand there as if their mere presence will cause the lights to change 
....
however, OP, I get what you're saying. It's exactly equivalent to people on buses ringing the bell for the next stop although they can see/hear perfectly well that it's been rung several times already.

The repeated pushing is as annoying as not bothering to push it at all. I think the whole world is trying to piss me off sometimes
