Of minds and lift buttons

So here I am, sitting with a mug of chocolate syrup, (yeah, I make hot chocolate so strong that it doesn't really flow well) just thinking about the day. I would suppose that skeptics would be all over me, but I'm recording this as a log of the day's events. I was walking down the stairs to the lift and saw that it was waiting, but the door was closed (the door had a window, so I could see the lift behind it). I was thinking, "oh goody! It should open." and it did. Now, lift doors close by default in my apartment when waiting. So...this was an unusual incident. It happened before, when i was almost reaching the button with my finger. That was when I was thinking, "Open," and yeah...it did. On a related note, the exact same thing happened when I was approaching the traffic light and thought of pressing the button. The button pressed light promptly lit up even though there was nobody there. Now, I'm not about to claim that I've telekinetic powers. Could've been some kind of an electrical malfuction or something with a "perfectly rational explanation." Still, it's interesting to take note of such things.
