Does anything happen if you don't obey the commands to press buttons?

At one point in the Stanley Parable, the game asks you to press different buttons and then usually makes a joke about you afterwards.

An example is:

PLEASE PRESS 'Z' TO BE AT WORK IN THE MORNING.

I've waited a couple minutes to see if anything will ever happen on one of these button push screens, but I'm not ready to wait around for longer to see if anything ever happens.

Does anything ever happen if you refuse to hit the required button?

Solution 1:

If you don't press the button and wait for the morning, the hour hand will stop. The minute and second hands will keep going, but the hour hand will stop at a quarter to 6:

Solution 2:

Nope, sat there for 2 hours (Not kidding) not a thing... though... if the 4 hour baby thing was true, then maybe there IS something, though I am 99% sure that there isn't. Have fun!
