I think this seems to be a very Irish phenomenon. The irony of it is that in many cases they would be crossing quicker if they did press the button straight away!There's a junction I use where you have to drive straight on, you can't turn and you must give way to traffic from the right. It is such a busy road that really the only chance you get to go is when someone pushes the pedestrian crossing on your left and stops the traffic.
So when someones standing waiting right beside the button and refuses to push it I am silently losing the plot. I'm there trying to beam my thoughts directly into their head 'come on, push the button, push the button, push the button...'
