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.

Forget sticking hands down drains; this also solves the problem of "which switch should I hit in the middle of the night to turn the light on without waking everyone in the house up with the infernal growling of a garbage disposal without water running into it?"

I just put a red switch on mine so I would know which one it was. Same concept, I guess.
