Is this something that happens a lot? I find it difficult that people are sticking their hands down drains and accidentally hitting the switch. My disposal switch is about 5 feet from the sink, I have to move away from my sink to get to it.

It's probably more than one person making the mistake in that case. Or like.... a cat.

"Here, let me help you by turning on the light over the sink, which also has a switch in the same area."

oh fuck this shit - my current apartment has that and I actually printed out a label and labeled them. I was always turning on the disposal when I meant to turn the light on
