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!I often do that if it's fairly quiet, and I'm aiming to be considerate if I do. If I assume a space will come up quicker than the lights change, then I'm preventing the lights from changing after I've crossed and stopping traffic for no reason.
