Confusing plus signs

In user interaction, the plus sign has at least two common functions: "add to list" and "expand existing list".



I saw this link while browsing movie times on Fandango, and, even though I clearly read "add to my theaters", it took all my mental strength to not click that plus button. The design of that tiny little icon simply screamed "there's more info here!"
