It's the mystery. It says "Do Not Touch" but it doesn't say why. It says, "Wet Paint" but it doesn't say when it was painted. I'm the same way ... as are most engineers. When you're inquisitive, it's generally not accepted too well by the rest of society ... because most people aren't. They are perfectly happy accepting everything on faith. Not me. Of course, I've had my hands in enough machines, that I usually don't flick any switches just to see what they do. Of course, when I work on stuff, I REMOVE the switch (or disable it somehow). But, go on touching wet paint. Worst it could do is piss off a painter.
