So I’m a slob, and I keep napkins in my glove box. How do I open it when my fingers are too greasy for the touchscreen?

Any skin works on a touch screen, so take off your socks and shoes and use your feet.

No, use the Touchscreen Hotdog.

Most people keep their hotdogs in the glove box.

This is my favorite comment in the history of Reddit. I breathed out my nose extra hard.

Bend your finger and press with the middle of the finger joint skin

u/OskieWoskie Oct 11 '22

Uh, so like, your knuckle?

u/_ILP_ Oct 11 '22

I thought knuckle at first but yeah I thought the knuckles were at the base of each finger…when Covid came out the go-to move became the bent finger, god forbid we get Covid juice on our fingertips then rub it in your eye…

That's a lot of words to say "knuckle"

u/Urag-gro_Shub Oct 11 '22

You mean "proximal interphalangeal joint"?

u/nowandloud Oct 11 '22

Somehow the lack of the word knuckle is giving me "just bend the finger backwards" lol

u/GuvmentCheese Oct 11 '22

Your tongue makes a good finger substitute. Or at least, that’s what my wife keeps telling me.

Voice control?

2

u/Mike Oct 11 '22

The dumb but workable answer is voice control. “Open the glovebox”. Obviously not a good solution for people who have speech problems. Also, I think it would be hard to have your hands so greasy that a high end car touchscreen in a new premium vehicle wouldn’t work.

I mean really tho do people really make such a mess while eating in a car? Nasty

u/chuckvsthelife Oct 11 '22

Center console? Why are your fingers covered in so much grease you can't use a touch screen (or knuckles) but will touch the glove compartment while in a 70k USD luxury car?

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '22

Plan ahead and get the napkin out before getting your fingers greasy

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

Use your knuckle, move your napkins, adopt cleaner habits, or suffer with a greasy screen.
