[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure - a few, but not the entire flower bed. Flowers are pretty and should be enjoyed, not revered. Taking a couple and giving them to a friend demonstrates kindness. However, wiping the entire flower bed is destructive, so their is a difference. [/quote]

But if everyone let their kid pull just a few, the entire flower bed would be wiped out.  So that logic is not sound.

Also, if I was in an elevator with a kid who was in the midst of pushing all of the buttons, I would probably ask the mom or dad or other caregiver to stop the kid from pushing the buttons if there was enough time to prevent it from continuing.  In addition, to the PP who would let her/his kid push the buttons if nobody is in the elevator, there could be other people waiting for the elevator who your kid is inconveniencing - just because they are not in the elevator with you does not mean there is no problem.  These people who are waiting and you cannot see now have to wait longer than they would have if your kid did not needlessly push buttons.  Additionally, I have had the annoying experience of getting on an elevator right after a kid pushed all of the buttons and exited and then had to stop at every single floor on my way up despite nobody needing to get on/off and the kid being long gone.[/quote]
