Emergency Bell on the Elevator

We visited some friends in the hospital tonight, and as we were heading out the elevator the kids were messing with the buttons. When the emergency alarm briefly went off, I let them know that was unacceptable and promptly corrected them. A few minutes later it happened again! I was ready to give them a full on scolding, but then realized they were no where near the elevator buttons this time.

The whole time I was leaning on the control panel on the other side and setting off the alarm with my butt. Sheesh.
