I don’t know if my roommate washes their hands. Ever…

    I highly doubt they adjust their wipers enough to leave a thick layer of skin and oil on it. Not sure what this is, but that ain’t it

        Nope. It’s showing that you can press in the lever, likely to dispense windshield washing fluid

          No that’s a Honda LaneSense passenger side camera toggle, shows what’s beside/behind you from the side mirrors perspective. My mom’s HRV has it. It also activates when you turn on the right turn signal. My guess it it’s from turning the headlights on and off with dirty hands, you can see it’s set to OFF now. Don’t know why people don’t just use the auto headlight feature.

              I’m not a forensics expert how should I know? It’s dirty from something but I know it’s not from the driver sticking it up their ass, I’m 87% sure of that. I just happened to know what the controls were for lol

      Nah, that’s definitely the blinker stalk. The end twists to turn the headlights on and off and the dial closer to the middle is for adjusting illumination brightness. Another comment said the button on the end is some propriety Honda thing. Plus it’s clearly on the driver’s side of the wheel (though tbf I’m assuming left-hand drive here)

      No makeup whatsoever, from what I know. He’s behind a keyboard all day for work and home, so I’m pretty sure that all of it is dried up finger gunk.

        Do they use a lot of lotion? I’ve seen similar from someone who frequently used lotion on their hands.

          I mean, it could be. His old keyboard that’s downstairs does have the same stuff on it…

          He’s sort of that ‘adult child’ in that he’s not big on cleaning/maintaining his house and locks himself in his room all day, so I’m going more with the standard hand gunk/fingerjam.

          There’s layers of sticky oil splatter dried all over the range and microwave. (he doesn’t have good heat control) The floor only gets cleaned by his mom, and his dad has to help him weed the 5sqft of dirt in his backyard when they visit. There’s also a cockroach issue that he’s apathetic to. (I’ve pretty much stopped using the kitchen after cleaning up after him and am now looking elsewhere)

      The object, or the substance. The object appears to be a cars windshield wiper, I would say blinker, but it’s on the right. As for the substance covering it, fucking no idea
