Does anybody else do this?

[Mr. James]

heh,

Yep, me, too. Drills, dryers, Windex, etc. Even caught myself carrying my briefcase with the index finger straight out along the handle, rather than wrapped around it. geez.

I have actually noticed doing this with a coffe cup.

Now thats just too dang far!!!

At any rate, can you recite the 4 rules of coffee safety?

 

[Autolite]

I've done this often

when I was about to use my spray bottle of WD-40. I never though of this as being foolish, though. (but I gotta admit that I felt a little embarrased when I caught myself trying to find the safety ...)

 

[Calamity Jane]

ACKETY ACK!!! Yes, I do this. In fact, I noticed it not too long ago, when I was cleaning the kitchen counter. Was wiping with my right hand and holding the spray bottle of cleaner with my left. I glanced down, and lo and behold, my trigger finger was pointed out, alongside the nozzle, straight as an arrow.

On a flippin' bottle of Windex, no less!

Guess the gun safety rules morphed into:

1. All bottles of Windex are loaded.

2. Never point your bottle of Windex at anything you don't intend to clean.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger.

4. Know your target and backstop - you don't want to spray Windex on the cat or on the tarantula (Runt, if you're reading this, hubby and me are now the proud owners of a Chilean Rose arachnid fuzzball - she's mega cool!).

Even when I am showing someone how I grip [without a gun] the index finger is horizontal.
