Oh wow I wish I had known about this in my last trip to Japan.
I entered an elevator with 2 friends, we were talking, and by accident I came in contact with the buttons. These were all sensor buttons, so without any pressure I had just triggered (almost) all floors, much to the delight of my friends (and even some of the other people in the elevator). As we had to go to the 10th or 11th floor, needless to say that it was quite embarassing ;-)
Don't feel bad. Capacitive buttons are just a really bad idea in an elevator crammed full of people as the people tend to do (and especially the Japanese judging by their metros). This is the designer's fault.
Of course the other passengers may not feel that way.
