Bonehead move!
Though you guys would get a kick out of this. After a weekend trip I decided to swing by the laser wash the next morning before work just get the bugs off. So I spray it down with bug & tar remover and proceed into the car wash. During the rinse I notice a drip fall onto my armrest; instinctively I start to wipe it away. Well you guessed it I accidentally hit the passenger window button just as the laser wash arm was swinging around.
No words can describe the feeling; I couldn’t hit the button fast enough. Evvvvery thing was completely soaked and I had to go to work with the right side of my body drenched. It was actually pretty funny in hindsight.

My thoughts exactly - What made it even funnier to me is that chopper pilots are so meticulous with their birds, so I know he felt like a real bone after that one!
