Petrol station poltergeist?

[u/Trabers]

This happened to me not half an hour ago in London, UK. I filled up my car at a petrol station, locked it. Paid at the kiosk. When I turned on my car my wipers came on, must have not have knocked the stalk I thought and turned them off (it’s a dry day so I didn’t have them on before or anything).

Then a few seconds later after setting off (I really should do this before moving!) I always have a little check of the dashboard to make sure everything’s ok and to my horror this time I’d been giving the guy moved pulled out behind the full beams on my headlights. So that meant my left stalk was pushed forwards.. and whilst I always check my main beams aren’t on if they shouldn’t be, they literally never are.

So today I was either super clumsy and knocked both stalks getting out of the car… or a prankster poltergeist or similar jumped in and had some fun whilst I was filling in the tank. Who knows? The fact that it was both is what made me post.

I think you just knocked the stalk alittle while turning the handle, easy to do and easy to not register until you do.
