the same reason they talk louder when the other person doesn't speak their language!

When they push the buttons harder, the remote moves and sometimes that causes the batteries to shift some. They get some energy and they work for a short period of time longer. I have done that many times. It is effective if you don't want to get up and get batteries.

That's so true! Sounds like something Sienfeld might talk about in his routine!
I think that when the battery is low, sometimes if you keep pressing, you will eventually get that little spark of juice, enough to get the channel to change so you can avoid having to get up and either find a new battery or God forbid, actually go to the reciever and press a button on the TV itself!

Because they think that there's some electricity left in the remote and by pushing the button harder it gets some flow going. Kinda like CPR.

Because it's the logical thing to do. Usually you can threaten the remote by pushing it's buttons and banging it on hard surface. Sometime that will convince it to give in. Those remotes never seem to learn their lesson.

For the same reason they press harder on the brake pedal when their car goes into a skid. The want things to happen, but they are out of control, and don't know what to do.

Some times it actually works, because the receptors have better contact. Another trick is to open the battery cover and spin them in their place to change their position (or take them out and put them back in).

In Theory they push them out of anger because they don't want to go find new batteries.
