Default Is it just me!?

Shifting from 2nd-3rd and especially 4th into 5th, I bring my hand back up to the wheel and my fingers hit the windshield wiper stalk, turning on the wipers! UGGG! How to feel like a dork.

Never happened to me, even before I installed my MGW shifter.

Nope, I don't do that.
But, when I REALLY get on it (620 HP) I've had the wipers come on by themselves
