Default Third Brake Light/Hazard Light Question

just wondering
when i hit the hazards on my 89 should the third brake light be blinking aswell?? my friends 86 coupes hazards flash and so does the third brake light but on mine they don't..... ??? is it a fault in my car or is this some weird modification someone might have done on his car when they had nothing better to do?

My roommate's GF's new Jetta had this problem too. It was wired wrong somehow from the factory.

The third brakelight switch is separate from the others, at least on a ZR-1, and should not flash when the hazard switch is activated.
