Sentence: Irma was a pressdetout when it came to elevators. She had to press the buttons for each and every floor. It slowed down the elevator ride for many and caused people to get angry, but she could not help herself. She'd even press the button someone else had already lit up. Some people get the elevator, some just get the shaft...

Sentence: Lolita was so pushcentric that she just went nuts if anyone else pushed the buttons. In the elevator, if someone else got there first, she pushed it too.

She ended up in Therapy and diagnosed as a buttonphrenic with a hint of repressed anger...
