Pushing the emotion "buttons" on someone, most commonly anger/grief.
It implies that the pusher knows where the other person's buttons are, meaning, how to get at him. So button pushing is usually done after someone exposed himself as being passionate or angry about something in a situation, or the person is known well by the pusher.

The act of doing a dull, repetitious job of seemingly little importance; often by being the human component in a technological or mechanical process.
All I did at work today was push the button.
I'm doing the same thing I do every night, honey: pushing the button.
If I don't push the button every 108 minutes the world will end, or whatever.
