A tiny amount of water getting on these buttons can make them go nuts too… I absolutely hate the electric stove ranges with surface touch buttons… as if those never get water on them…

Or cats. Waking up in the middle of the night because the stove is beeping is not my favorite thing.

Not as dangerous as a stove, but the Xbox One had a capacitive on-off button. Turns out the dog could turn it off just by his fur touching it when walking by it.
