Default GRRRR...Anybody keep hitting the wipers accidently

It seems at least once a week im coming off the wheel to the shifter and I end up catching the wiper arm and turning them on. Drives me nuts cuz its usually a day or 2 after I wash my car so the windows are just dirty enough to get all smeared but I dont want to use my washers cuz the car will get full of drools. Anybody else do this or am I retarded.

I've done it once or twice. Just work on your hand/eye coordination

I can drive a stick while eating and talking on the cell phone at the same time ..I think ive got that working for me. It just seems like its a little to easy to move. Im just grazing it and it comes on.

Sometimes when I nail a hard downshift into 1st gear and slam it, they'll come on. Kind of embarassing.

Now there's something to be proud of!

But yeah I've done that a few times myself. The worst is when you take it to a carwash to have it detailed and when you get in to start it, the dude that was wiping down your interior hit the wipers down to full speed. Yeah... gotta love smears on your freshly detailed car.
