Yea, they had this happen at a petroleum company in Dallas.
Construction workers were in and out all day using a door that "saw you
coming" and opened automatically. One of them went out of the room
though the back door. On his way out, he pushed the door and it failed
to open. Instead of hitting the crash bar on the door, he reached over
and hit the little red button. There was a plastic cover over that one
the next day, also.

At a previous employer, We had just completed building a new Computer
Center. This building was in the same area as others that this company
owned, So they were going to use the same cleaning company that the
other buildings used. Our building had sensors that unlocked the door as
you approached, but the older buildings had Red Buttons to push to
unlock the door to get out. You probably guessed by now, When the
Cleaning Crew came over and cleaned the Operations Console Room, They
thought they had to push a button to get out of the room. The Console
Room design had the Red 'Emergency Power Off' Button only 4 foot from
the exit. He pushed the button to get out and all power went off. Talk
about people scrambling.... 3:00 in the afternoon is not a good time to
test this button. Needless to say, There was a plastic box covering that
Red Button the next day. :-)
