Is a burger that scrolls you down to a footer-menu irritating?
Hamburger Menus and Hidden Navigation Hurt UX Metrics

I have a solution to this:
On home, the content in the main area navigates you through the sections of the page. Mainly by means of teasers. (This also serves the purpose to present the nature of the site, which the navigation would do.)
So you might end up at the end of the page (on any page), not having found what you were looking for.
That's why in the footer you'll find the navigation.
According to the study, the majority of people should end up there. For the minority who love to use the menu right away, I'm providing a burger icon. But the burger does not open a fly-out menu, instead it scrolls you down to the footer.
You can see an example on the Aicher Ambulanz Website (sorry, it's German).
A college's assumption:
This will repel users, they suspect a fly-out-menu. They will be irritated and start to think (don't make me think) about why the page is scrolling down.
In my opinion the thinking is nothing bad, because you do get your navigation.
A fly-out-menu's transition is to present it's off-canvas-character. It's always there, in any context, and you will find it on the side.
My solution does the same: The transition shows were to find the menu next time (in the footer).
Question: Is the fly-out-menu on mobile so established that users will be repelled?
I'm planning on doing my own study, as well on teasers presenting navigational items, as on whether the scroll-down-burger is irritating.
By then, do you have opinions, assumptions, experiences?
