I have a Hoover washing machine with touch buttons. I can't count the number of times I activated something on it unintentionally by brushing against it.
It seems the designers were aware of this problem, because it has a key lock feature. Unfortunately it's hillariously ineffective. To activate/deactivate key lock you need to touch two buttons simulateneously. They forgot however that in practice it's almost impossible to activate two buttons at the exactly the same time. So the machine in most cases interprets this as pushing two buttons separately, usually further messing up some setting you wanted to protect by keylock.
