Why do people click the, don't click this button?

[Mr. 47]

I right clicked it. I curbed my clicking compulsion, and thought that I could get away scott free. I was wrong.

 

[Moronical]

Curiosity and the fact that knowing something bad will happen makes it even more tempting

Because when I clicked it, it wasn't presented as a "don't click this button", but a "I have a bunch of buttons and they all need clicking" type of game. Rackemfrackem mods...

Why the hell not?

That about sums up my reasoning for 80% of the things I do.

 

[Techno Squidgy]

Curiosity killed the cat, and a variety of other mammals.

 

[Tharwen]

Who the hell wouldn't want to see that gorgeous face all over their computer screen?

 

[Chaos Switch]

Schmuck Bait, pure and simple.

Curiosity mainly. In related news this may help you survive the horror. http://theoatmeal.com/quiz/justin_bieber

I got 31.

 

[LoFr3Eq]

Im convinced that's theres a secret way to press one of those buttons and it will dispense a cupcake of the user's choosing, i'll stop as soon as i get my cupcake,and proof that i can't somehow repeat the process.

this one maybe?

 

[Quextamon]

Bieber fever?

 

[Hana_aoki]

I did it to spite the text, and of curiosity.

 

[DementedSheep]

Part curiosity, part desire to be defiant?

 

[Aprilgold]

Because, ONLY MEN do things their not supposed to, or very, very well endowed women.... I'm joking, DON'T SHOOT ME WITH YOUR BOOBAY LASER! [God, I still can't believe I remember Dumb and Dumber]
Anyways, no, its for Manily Men or very awesome Women.

I had a webpage once with a button like that. It opened 18 million popups playing chopsticks. People were warned...

 

[dj Facchiano]

hmm I wonder how many people would have clicked it if it had said "Whatever you do don't press this button, because if you do everyone's avatar will be Justin Biebers face". Would be an interesting experiment.

 

[Signa]

Because it was really nice not seeing all the bronies for a while.

 

[Dango]

Because what's the worst that could happen?

 

[Nouw]

Curiosity killed good music.

I kid, I kid.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Curiosity. People will do what they are told not to do because they want to see what happens.
I clicked it for the badge and because I was planning on taking a day off the site before that, anyway.
