Pressing harder to make a difference

Why do people push buttons harder than necessary or over and over thinking that their extra effort will make a difference? Really, does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? Or do people really believe that banging on the button at the crosswalk over and over will make the traffic signal turn green quicker? Or how about pressing harder on a remote control when you know the batteries are getting weak? Or quadruple clicking on something on the computer even though you already double clicked and the little hourglass is there showing that the computer is doing it's thing as slow as usual.
