any intransitive verb can be transitived

I went to the doctor's surgery today, having previously made an appointment.
They have a jazzy new screen which says "To arrive for your appointment,
touch the screen". So (after a bit of trouble with the notion that I hadn't
already arrived) I touched it, and went through a guessing game about my
date of birth.... after which it displayed a list of matching names (only one
in my case), each with a touch-button beside it.
The touch-button says "Arrive me".
Has this one been seen in the wild before?
