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.

A way of describing a job that is mechanical literally like a factory worker or figuratively but still much like a flow chart. The antithesis of this is anything that requires highly specialized skill and intuition.
After pushing buttons and pulling levers for 40 years at the wooden toy factory, Leroy had a knack for fitting square pegs in round holes as evidence by the collections of rasps and files he had in his pocket.
